Don't read this if you're eating.
Our family is not a puking family. I got food poisoning a few years ago and calculated it had been 15 years since I had vomited. I just don't do it.
But not even the iron guts of our clan are immune to this particular stomach bug going around. It comes in fast, usually preceded with "My tummy hurts!" about 30 seconds before the puking starts.
But it blitzes through in 24 hours and then people are right as rain.
Last night, the toddler fell victim and her vomiting sessions came about every 30- 60 minutes all through the night.
The first time, she was very chipper and said, "I spit out my spaghetti." and then said maybe tonight she should eat some more spaghetti. Ew.
At one point, I had fallen asleep and had a dream that I was cleaning up her vomit only to be awoken by the sound of her vomiting. That was some kind of twisted sci fi movie trick.
I finally got a straight 2 hours this morning when the older boys took her and played with her. My dream was that the queen of the Netherlands had a mysterious disease that was slowly killing her. Was it poison? I was in the secret service or something trying to protect her and keep the public from knowing. Definitely a combination of stomach flu nursing and watching lots of West Wing episodes.
