Another Sick One

I should be running out the door but I am still in my pajamas! I have to do the banking and I have not heard from Cocky about opening. So I will just get ready to open. Nadine is home sick today. She was up most of the night with the pukes. She has assured me that she will be fine without me. I am of no assistance to her anyway. I do not deal with puke very well.

Last night she threw up on the floor. It was only water. Nothing else ~ just water and I could not even deal with that without gagging. I tried, I really tried to clean it up. I psyched myself up! “It is only water! I bravely walked to where it was, having to turn on a light to find it, with my big wad of paper towel to wipe it up. I put the paper towels on the floor, bent over to wipe it up. It is only water. Someone spilled the cat dish ~ I really tried to convince myself. Started to wipe the floor. Gag, gag, gag! Voice from the bathroom “Mom I will wipe that up.”

Am I proud of this? Hell no! I am not proud of this at all. It makes me feel bad! I have never been able to deal with puke. Even when the kids were babies ~ if one of them spit up on me I was running for the toilet! I remember one time Nadine was brand new. Dick came home from work for dinner. He was holding her and she spit up on his shoulder. He went back to work with that little spot of formula on his shirt. The thought that ran through my head was “I would have been tearing off my shirt.” Not him! It was no big deal to him. I was jealous yet proud of him.

Now I better get because we have had freezing rain already this morning. The hiway home last night was okay but I am back on the gravel this morning! Ugh and it has just begun!

Have a great day!

Off and running like a lunatic!
