Hit The Ground Running

I woke up this morning as the Evil Twin was getting in the shower. I made his lunch, then went back to snuggle in the covers for a bit. I usually just roll around and stretch and wait to hear Sissy on the monitor.

The Evil Twin finally left for work and I still hadn't heard her. But, just a few moments later, she was calling for me in a panicky tone. She said, "I'm all wet and sticky and I smell funny." I think "Oh great. She's barfed in the bed."

When I went in, it did indeed smell vomity. But I couldn't see anything on her or the covers. Then, I pulled the covers down. Apparently, at some point during the night, she'd had diarrhea. I'll spare you the grisly details, but it was quite a mess.

I got her undressed, wiped down as much as possible, then put her in the bath. After that, I stripped the bedding and started on laundry. I'm looking at 3 loads today, at least.

I was supposed to have an appointment with my neurologist (or more specifically, the physician's assistant), but they had to cancel and reschedule due to the PA having a family emergency.

Fine with me...I have too much to do anyway.

Suffice to say: I had a shitty morning. Here's to hoping the day gets better! :-)

My kid is 15 now which comes with its own problems, but never have I longed for the days when I had to change diapers, clean puke, or clean up after uncontrollable bowels. Good Luck. Cheers ETW!!

I've had days like that, and I'm childless. !

My condolences to your morning. I probably would have ended up adding to the mess if I had to clean it up. The one and only thing my stomach can not handle is human feces.

Hope your day got much better!

Oy vey, that's no good. I hope Sissy's feeling better now. How did she stay asleep?

What a terrible way to start the day! But I think I'd rather clean it up than sleep in it:(
