Here in our small town, if your dogs go missing, you call the police dispatcher and he/she lets the policemen know…and they keep an eye out for them. We have been in the car, screaming and yelling while the dog was just having fun!!

We had 5 children but few times did they throw up. Maybe it was because they played outside in the woods, ate who knows what…but we were lucky with healthy children.

So glad it is over and trust things will go a little better now. Thanks for sharing..it makes you seem like all the rest of us!!!

The comments are closed it appears, so I’m tacking on a comment here. Can I just say that I took a tumble a little over a year ago on slick, slime covered, wet wooden front steps in new too-big rubber soled moccasins in front of my mom’s house off of the front deck. I heaved and heaved for a long time while on all fours and crawled up after about 15 minutes (maybe it was actually 30 minutes???!!!!) to the house to the sofa where I continued to huddle in a ball and intermittently tried to walk and was hunched over at the waist. This went on for three hours, so I told my husband that as much as I didn’t want to, I better go to the emergency room. I had a compression fracture in my upper spine and had to wear a brace for 10 weeks. I was so grateful it wasn’t worse. No side effects from the fall after it healed. So grateful.

I’m glad your tumble wasn’t worse, as well! Those stairs look rough! Looking forward to seeing the redo a la blog. 🙂

I’m in the midst of an 18 month old and a newly-turned three year old (both sweet girls) who have dipped in and out of a stomach bug (threw up in the CAR – both of them in the same trip out to dinner), a cold, and coughs the past week and a half. They RARELY get sick, so even though they are toddlers, we’re spoiled a little, too. (Except I didn’t know that survival mode is an era that will, too, pass. That is so encouraging. Even when they aren’t sick, there is still yogurt all over the place during breakfast because even the one year old wants to feed herself. Lots of clean up every time we eat.) So anyway, last night, I just went to bed in my skirt because my pajamas were all in the laundry, and there was “only about a three inch streak of some throw-up that got on the lower side of it” (I actually thought this last night as I fell into bed)… Hmmm. Scary! I just slept in the skirt and changed my clothes in the morning. Yes, I’m admitting this out loud. Yikes!

I love turning my puta on a reading your stories :)We’ve got some fun vacation stories too where we DID take it all away with us…but our neighbour takes the cake when her brother’s family came to stay, so 10 people in the house, and her daughter lost it all in the middle of the night with great skill into the power socket next to her bed, and shorted out the whole house, and then they all proceeded to start, so they had to clean up in the dark!!

My best tip to you to survive the not so fun clean-up is to put Vick`s under your nose. It’s has saved us through many middle of the night experiences we don’t want to relive. I hope you will never again need to put that tip to use!
