Hell of a Day!!!

**Warning** this post is not for the squeamish **

Most of my days are not glamorous!! But today was out of the ordinary.... We've been hit with some kind of stomach flu. Gavin had it first, yesterday all I did was hold him and clean up puke. This morning he was doing so much better so I thought it was the end of it.... oh baby was I wrong!!!

Like That, Here have a closer look.....

Yeah, Drake comes up to me as I'm cleaning poopy bums and is having trouble talking, I look up and see he's covered in vomit! I scoop him up run to the bathroom as he proceeds to puke all over me, him and the floor. (Now mind you I've just left a baby alone without a diaper on) as Drake finished up puking in crawls my two little ones - one bare bummed - I decide to not even try and clean them up, I just stripped them down and put them in the tub....
Talking with Drake I asked him what happened, he said he got sick in his room - I poked my head in and saw that he had just sprayed the place. Since Josh was on his way home, I decided once again not to even try and clean it, I shut the door and waited for Daddy...
Once Josh got home, and was about knocked over by the smell in Drake's room, he helped me get everyone out of the tub. He took them all into the Little's room to dress them while I tackled the huge mess waiting for me.

As I'm scrubbing the floor I hear Josh Yell out a very panicked "NICOLE" he comes tearing out of the bedroom with Kyler who is now erupting vomit like a volcano, he and Josh are both Covered. I take him from Josh and hold him over the bathroom sink, strip him down, clean him up, wrap him up and just held him! My Poor Sick Babies!!!

My night goes on like that up until... well now!

I've left 4 times while writing this to go run kids to the sink to puke or pull them out of a puddle in their bed..... This is definitely one of those days were I wonder what the heck God was thinking when he blessed me with those 3 kids....

We had a night VERY similar to that a few weeks ago. The only real difference is that Anna had consumed fruit punch that day so all the vomit was BRIGHT RED! Those days are the worst but are fun to look back and laugh at later.

I got totally thrown up on at work the other day by a patient- it's better when it is all in the family. :)

Isn't motherhood glamorous!I know that I shouldn't be laughing, but my sides seriously hurt from that story. And Nicole, I have to say that if you are posting pictures of vomit and poopy little boys, you have come a LONG way! Oh, I am still laughing. I am so sorry that your babies are sick!! No wonder you haven't been answering your phone. Give them kisses for me! Love you guys, and I hope they (and you) feel better soon!
