This is my first post:-) Not to sure if I want to do this yet, but I'll give it a shot.

I had e mailed a few people my morining today so I'll post it here as my first post.


I did more by 9 Am today than I do most days.

I cleaned the bathroom

Showered a kid twice

Cleaned out the kitchen sink (put everything in the dishwasher)
then washed the pots and pans that don't fit into the dishwasher

Cut an apple for a kid

Made pancakes

got on line and found what time the stores open that my dear hubby said have the best price for air conditioners.

Ok so the whole story is William got up this morning and felt sick. I told him to get the bowl, he said he needed to have a BM, so off to the bathroom he went. Then I noticed he didn't take the bowl with him. I went to give it to him and saw I was too late. I walked in and
he said " I threw up"
I said "you forgot the bowl"
he said "I threw up in the potty"

Now he was partly correct on this matter. He sat down on the potty to have his BM, then needed to throw up instead, so he just opened his legs real wide and while sitting on the potty, threw up in it also! Now I would say this takes talent but the amount that didn't make it in would negate that statement. He basically got it on his belly, his leg, his boy part, and the toilet seat and he did get a good amount into the potty. Now luckily it was only yogurt so I was fine cleaning it up.

I threw him in the shower and washed him up, got him in clean jammies and parked him on the couch while I went back to clean the bathroom. I got him some Gatorade and he drank it right down and threw it all right back up again! I got the kitchen sink cleaned out because William asked for pancakes, they make his belly feel better when he's sick. So I stared the batter and gave it to Natalie to mix up while I helped William. I though he was settled for a few minutes so I started cooking the pancakes. I got a few cooked and William needed me again. This went on each time I would take pancakes out and put new ones in, he would need me again. My hands are so raw from being washed so many times this morning! I was timing it carefully, I would sit with him, wash my hands, run and flip the pancakes, sit with him, wash my hands, run and take the pancakes out of the pan and put more in......

One other time when one of the kids had been sick all day Ed had told them to take a shower because it would make them feel better after being sick all day. Ed meant that it would feel better to be clean after throwing up all day. William takes this literally and thinks that if he showers while being sick it will make him better right away. So every time he felt like he was going to throw up he would run to the bathroom saying "I need a shower, I need a shower". I wish it worked that way, but I did let him try it. He just stood in the shower and let the water run all over him. I think it helped for a few minutes.

Ed and Natalie finally went out and bought an air conditioner. I woke up this morning and figured I didn't care how much it cost, I NEED an air conditioner. I hate being hot and muggy and that's what I was this morning! (for those of you who don't know the big one that does most of the house got broken, but that's another story).

10:30 Am: William declared he didn't want to watch t.v. any more and went to sleep
10:50 Am: William woke up and threw up
10:53 Am: William declared he was better and wanted to go ride on the train (we were going to go exploring today)

I told him to drink the whole cup of Gatorade and if he kept it down then we could go.

11:13 he threw up the drink, so we are staying put today!

Ed is installing the air conditioner right now so I should be back in the cold by 1 (I'm hoping)

Have a good day, stay well, and stay cool!

Yea I have AIR again :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
