Strike 4


Strike 1: Call from school nurse announcing that Claire threw up at school and needed to be picked up.
Strike 2: Ainsley barely making the bike ride home from school before having the same symptoms as Claire plus a few extra.
Strike 3: Hearing Alli already in the bathroom before I went down to wake her up for school.
Strike 4: Walking into Rainier's room and smelling the stench before even seeing it.
I knew it was going to be a great day!
Oh the joys of motherhood.

Do you think Sam's Club had moms like me in mind when they designed their store?
I mean who else would need bulk supplies of milk, eggs, diapers, toilet paper etc.?
I was especially thankful that I took heed and headed there earlier this week for my giant size containers of Tide and Downy after the past few days.
1/14/09 UPDATE: Strike 5 Claire now has strep. Luckily I made her "man" up and get the one time penicillin shot instead of the 10 day round of antibiotics. Don't worry I made it up to her by taking her to the dollar store...yes infecting unknowing strangers....just trying to keep the love virus going.

oh man, all four at ONCE?! My washing machine couldn't handle it, that's for sure. i hate it when babies get the throw ups, because it's load after load of laundry. at least the bigger kids can make it to a sink or bathroom most of the time. i hope you and thomas don't get it....yikes.

Spread the love is what I like to say. Throwing up is the worst in my opinion.
