Liquid, liquid, everywhere!

So there are some days at the end you think, hmmm let's not do that again. Today is turning out to be one I kind of want to start all over. The dog woke me up at 5 by starting to vomit. Not my favorite graceful way to wake, but it turned out ok and I got him to the bathroom floor. It wasn't a big deal and after clean up I crawled back in bed.

About 6 Aresa came in to use our bathroom. Over the next hour I got up three times with her to help her deal with the runs. Apparently part 2 to her throwing up episode on Wednesday after Girl Scouts. That too was gross, but manageable and I crawled back into bed for half an hour before Eliot woke me up by using me as a climbing wall and I was forced to get up. The silver lining so far is that I have a warm bed.

So we get up and moving. Alex goes down and starts coffee brewing while he takes a shower. I putter downstairs to get him a cup to bring up, just to be sweet. I get downstairs and something has gone wrong and over half the pot of coffee has flowed out all over the counter, floor, and saturated the tea drawer. No big deal, right? Just mopped things up. The second half of the pot was apparently tasty and we moved on to the morning's main event--IVE Holiday Choir perfomance at Barnes and Noble.

Aresa has a great time singing with the choir, we get to hear our fantastic principal read, we wander up and down every aisle at least twice. A consensus is almost within our grasp. We are grabbing a gift for a friend and about to head to the cashier about 2 or so hours after arrival, when Eliot falls to his knees and vomits. All over the aisle, twice. He is covered, the floor is covered, my coat is covered. Oh yah. Split second of severe horror before my brain kicks into action.

The staff at BN was so kind and helpful. The folks from IVE were so nice too. All things considered everyone was wonderful, but UGH. So we can cross vomiting inside at a public place off our bucket list. It happened, we survived.

As all parents know this has altered today's agenda and after a few tears of disappointment we have resigned ourselves to the change order. I hope you all got a good chuckle  and that this is the last of today's minor liquidy dramas!!
