Unwanted Lazy Day

No one welcomes their alarm clock's ring in the morning and no one rejoices in waking up to the sound of "I threw up in my bed!". We got such a wake up call at 4am from our poor boy. The usual steps went into action:

1. Get the boy cleaned up.(Sanitize hands)
2. Remove the sheets without waking up sister or breathing in the stench.(Take time to gag/sanitize)
3. Take sheets to washer.(Take time to gag/sanitize)
4. Locate "sick" mattress.
5. Locate "sick" sheets.
6. Find bunches of Kroger bags and trash cans and a garbage bag.
7. Make sick bed.
8. Put boy in sick bed.(Sanitize)
9. Attempt to go back to sleep knowing the barf is coming again.

To his credit, he isolated the barf to a certain area. It was an episode that did not require him to have a shower to get stuff out of his hair, etc. He waited for two and half hours until he got sick again and he was awake and able to grab his trash can. The hub took the girls to school and made a Kroger run for bouillon, saltines, ginger ale and some jello. For the rest of the day, I tried to supply his tummy with the appropriate nourishment without making it terribly sick. We watched multiple episodes of Andy Griffith and The Avengers. Then he got home and I tagged out and went to the Festival on the Hill at S's school with G. It was nice to be outside for a bit of time, visiting with teachers and other parents.

A little bit ago, our friend Mr. Ed came over to borrow my sewing machine. He is one of our favorite humans on this planet and by far one of the most entertaining. After belly laughing at his stories and listening to him try out my new ukulele, he left and we went upstairs to relax. We are sure praying for an uneventful night with no more barf. Night all.
