yuck

before i was a mom i thought about the things that i wouldnt look forward to as a mom.... like cleaning up puke. well the day came where i had to face that with dahlia. we were driving home from the store and we were a few minutes away and i turned around to look at her and she started puking.... nothing lead up to it at all. she didnt even act like anything was wrong when she was actually puking. the only reason why i think she started crying was because she was drenched in chunky slimy puke... sorry for the grossness (= after we got home she was totally fine and didnt seem sick at all that whole evening. i have no idea what made her throw up, but i definitely dont want it happening again. (= i was gagging when she was too. i had to have justin take out the carseat because i was about to puke just being around it. i have such a weak stomach. spit up is one thing, but puke is a whole nother story! 

i actually have a huge fear of puking. one year i had food poisoning 4 times... four times in  a twelve month period! i know that i crazy. i was throwing up for 24 hours straight, not fun at all! i wanted to die(not an exaggeration! ) so if i ever feel a tummy ache coming on i start getting a little paranoid that i might be up all night puking, but thankfully i havent been that sick in three years.

i had to clean up puke at work yesterday. Just be happy that your kid didn't puke in a public establishment-- at least you don't have to be embarrassed while you are grossed out.

I think kids just puke sometimes...

I don't know...if you are in a public establishment then they usually have people who have to do the cleaning up for you. So other then cleaning up the actual kid, your work is cut in half just because of location :-) haha

I had to clean up one of my students puke today. I had to just keep looking away as I was wiping it up. Fortunately it wasn't chunky or anything, but it still made me want to vomit if I thought about what I was doing or looked at it.
