This whole weekend was just one big blur! WARNING – not for the weak stomached! First of all, my daughter woke us up at 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning to announce that she’d “gotten sick.” I said, “What do you mean?” Then she told me that she’d thrown up, which never crossed my mind when she said “sick” because this child has NEVER thrown up in her life – other than baby spit-up.

I know I should count myelf as EXTREMELY lucky to have never had to go through this in the 7 1/2 years she’s been alive! Anyway – I asked her if she felt OK, and then I asked her where she’d gotten sick, and naturally it was my worst fear – in her bed. So I get her to the bathroom, and get here cleaned up as much as I can. Then I stripped her bed and took it all down to the laundry room. My GOD – the smell was awful!

I guess I should also throw in here now that my husband is the biggest WIMP when it comes to bodily functions! He was never a whole lot of help with diapers when Jordan was a baby – he would literally gag if he had to change a stinky – lol!

So I get her all settled, and make sure she’s not going to get sick again. Since her bed was out of the question, she got in bed with us. By this time it was about 1:30 a.m. Well, at 3:00 a.m. she wakes up saying that her stomach feels funny. Phil asked her if she felt like she was going to get sick, and she said no, it just felt funny. Well folks, let me tell you, if your kid tells you their stomach “feels funny” it means they’re getting ready to puke! Phil starts yelling, “Get her, get her!”  I’m trying to get the covers off of me and grab her at the same time. It doesn’t help that our bed is so friggin’ high!

Well, I thought I’d gotten her in time, but by the time I got her cleaned up again, he’s already yanked all of the stuff off the bed! So, after I find him another blanket, she and I just go downstairs. Long story short – I got NO sleep that night. She was up every hour and a half. I just kept a trash can by her while she laid on the couch. She finally stopped at about 9:00 a.m., and she and I went back to bed for a little while.

She was feeling better when we got up, but she was totally wiped out – POOR BABY! She just laid on the couch the rest of the day. The rest of my day was spent doing laundry. I ended up having to wash all of her bedding twice to get the smell out! Sorry, I know that’s too gross!  My  MIL came up to stay with her while I took our king size quilt to the laundromat to wash it. It’s so big and heavy that it won’t fit in our machine.

I also got A TON of pendant orders  – I think I’m up to about 20 now, several calendar orders, and a custom card order. Of all days ! I felt like such a zombie! We all slept well Saturday night though, so yesterday was catch up day for me! I finished up the laundry, got all of the pendant orders started, made the calendars and cards, etc…

In case you all have not taken a look at my custom photo pendants, I have several to choose from in the TSD Etsy shop. These are my two most popular styles.

I also wanted send out a big ol’ THANKS to those of you that have left comments on my Note Card GiveAway post. I have hardly even had time to promote it with all that’s been going on this weekend! Well, caio for now – I’m off to get Jordan ready for school.
