I’m elbow deep in disgusting diapers, toddler vomit, fevers and baths.
Let me give you an example.
Tiny has a stomach bug.
I changed his clothes four times yesterday.
At one point, I got him into the bathroom (too late, so there was a trail of vomit that followed us there) and when he was done, I stripped his clothes off. I told him to stay put while I grabbed the paper towels. Why I thought he’d listen, I don’t know, but the next thing I know, I hear a ka-thump and a big cry.
You guessed it. He slipped and fell in his own vomit and was now flipping around in it like Shamoo at a Sea World show, sobbing at the fact that I had taken two steps outside the bathroom and had abandoned him to this fate.
So, I’ve been dividing my time, this weekend, between sickness and triumph as I’ve watched “I Just Want to Pee Alone” climb to the very top of the charts on Amazon books, Kindle books, and iTunes.
If you haven’t yet ordered or downloaded your copy, please click through on the link to the right. It will be well worth your time and your money.
The result of all of these ups and downs is that I’ve got absolutely no original content for you, today.
However, because sick kids tend to like to look at pictures of themselves in happier times, I have spent some time going back through my archives and, today, I was struck by three older posts that I’d like to share with you.

Item #1 is this post from March 2010.
It made me laugh because, apparently, I am now repeating posts on the blog without even knowing it.
Do I need to go back and read everything I’ve ever written to make sure I don’t repeat?
Yikes.

Then, I came across this post from April 2010.
I can’t even handle that she was ever this little.

The last of the old posts for today is this one, titled “My Favorite Time of Day.”
Amazing how it still holds true, after all this time.

I figured I’d finish up by sharing all of the links to the bloggers that are in “I Just Want to Pee Alone.”
If you are having a lazy Sunday afternoon (yeah…because we all have those, right?) take some time and click through.
Good women, good stories, good stuff.

I would take anything over vomit sickness. Ugh. And they never make it into the ‘bowl’!
Thanks for including me in your wrap-up!

Oh, no. The vomit wallow is the worst!

Thanks for the shout out, sweets. Hope the vomiting ceases soon!!

Sorry to hear your little one is sick. We all had the hideous stomach flu last year and it was no fun. Breaks your heart for the little one and is also a messy situation. Good luck!

Thanks, Krista! Can’t wait to get home and start catching up with your blog again, as well! 🙂

Oh, my goodness! I feel so bad for you. I despise vomit, even more than most ordinary people despise it. I’m a sympathy puker. I know. TMI. I really hope everyone is starting to feel better in your house!
Thanks for linking to Sat. Night Stars!!
