Do you think we’ll ever get out of vomit duty? I remember the day I knew I was a real mother: Rocky was two and vomited while we were riding on an escalator. Without a thought, I caught it in my cupped hands. All these years later, I don’t question if I’m a real mother, but I wonder how much more puke I need to catch before I achieve sainthood.

BTW- Be careful. That bug is probably the same one that landed me in the ER a few weeks ago, and the docs told me it was hitting adults harder than kids.

Oh i hope he’s feeling better … and youre right, there’s just something about saltine crackers (and chicken soup) that you crave when youre sick. And sweet tea. And getting out of doing school work!!!!!

Poor guy! Tell Nigel to hang in there, and you too! We went down to So CA after Christmas to visit family (some I hadn’t seen in over 14 years), and the day we were supposed to have a houseful of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. over to visit us, I had the flu and felt horrible…life went on though and they still came to visit me… puking pathetic blob that I felt like, and we went to Disneyland the next day even though I felt like dying instead. UGH! Hopefully Nigel has a quick recovery and it doesn’t linger or get passed on to you or Aiden! Take care and I hope Nigel enjoys his Saltines! :0)

Ewwww…I hate cleaning up puke - human or pet. But I’ve surely done my share. And there just isn’t enough Purell after those sessions.

Hope Nigel is feeling better soon!

Oh dear. Hope Nigel is feeling better soon.
C has a stomache ulcer so is quite often sick in the middle of the night. I have cleaning it up to a fine art now!
