About an hour ago, Reese threw up. In the sink in the bathroom. It could've been worse. Whenever one of my kid's upchucks, I start searching my memory for the reason. Because there has to be a reason other than that they are actually sick with an illness that they are going to pass around the entire house until we all feel like we have this disease we'll never get rid of until we die, and I'm spraying doorknobs and light switches with scrubbing bubbles in a VAIN, FRUITLESS ATTEMPT TO PUT AN END TO THE CARNAGE!!!
So I came up what she had for dinner. If I would've been thinking clearly, I wouldn't have given her so many acidic things in one meal. She had juice (tropical), strawberries, and barbecue sauce all in the same sitting. Who wouldn't spew that mess right back out?!
About 10 minutes ago, she came running out of her room, and I ran in the bathroom after her, and she barfed again. A much larger amount this time, and her nose got in on the action. Poor kid.
My husband came home a few minutes ago, and I told him what happened, and then I go on to lay out my acidic food theory. I do this every time, and he's extremely supportive and in complete agreement. He's following me around making retching noises and grinning and saying "You're next!" " You're gonna get it!" "BBLLAACCHH!" Thanks jackass.
I still say it's the barbecue sauce. She never eats barbecue sauce.

IN DENIAL

I do that too but I always attribute the sickness to whatever food they got from someone else. School, neighbor, church event... you get the idea. It is usually unknown though because I can't say that more than one of us has ever had any kind of stomach illness at the same time. I think Oli and I are pretty much immune to any stomach bugs.
Blah. My kids haven't been that kind of sick for a long time. Scary, makes me think they're over due. I never get sick, but my boss has been sick for a week and I'm afraid that I'll get it just before my marathon. I am tired...and my throat is getting scratchy...and I had a headache today...
