Bleccchhhh....

Don't you like how I always include the most random pictures in my post? Nothing related to the goings on of today. But you might be glad of that when I tell you that the goings on of this week have mostly to do with copious amounts of vomit. A 12 hour stomach bug that leaves its host pretty darn wrung out. Ryan first, a couple of day delay, then Wyatt yesterday, now Mommy this morning. Don should avoid it by mysteriously being at work whenever vomiting occurs. We are washing our hands until they crack, but it hasn't seemed to help thus far. Don gave the kids a stern warning that I was sick and to be nice. When saying prayers over breakfast this morning, they blessed that Heavenly Father would help them be good for me. I guess it is totally out of their hands! Actually, it is kind of nice now that they are older and have some concept of sympathy and help out quite a bit. Nothing like having to rock a screaming baby while throwing up at the same time - oh yes, I do remember. The kids constantly surprise me with their kindness, understanding and willingness to help. I think when Christ counseled us to be as little children, he meant the 3-5 age range. They certainly love each other and are so close. The picture above was taken on Saturday. This was a dress I bought during Mervyns closeout that I absolutely love. Mia does not. On Friday she said, "Mom you can pick out my clothes today" When I picked this dress, she said "ummm, how about tommorrow?" The next morning when I woke up, she had it on as promised and said, "Mom, you can do my hair if you want." Although I am not great at doing hair, Mia makes it harder by preferring to look homeless most of the time. I curled it and took a picture to remember the time she actually wore what I wanted her to and asked to have her hair done. Enough for now, I am going to concentrate on not vomiting....
