Well actually I do have the answer to that . . .for a week when a child gets struck down with the stomach flu, anyway. That chewed up my week almost completely, with the exception of today when I was going crazy trying to get caught up after being "nurse mom" for several days. Noah got sick Saturday night, and BOY DID HE GET SICK. Good grief, what a nightmare - mainly for him, obviously, but also for mom and dad, who didn't get more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep that night and I spent several hours that night CLEANING (many rooms, by the way) because he still hasn't figured out how to make it to the bathroom. I don't know if you recall, but I've asked this question in the past - why is it when kids get the stomach flu, it's always AT NIGHT?!?!? No one's given me an answer yet. Still waiting. Anyway, he was through the worst of it by Sunday morning, but the poor kid was just knocked FLAT until Wednesday. Just a sleepy blob on the couch Sun., Mon. and Tues. I think he'd decided he was never going to eat again, but I got stubborn on Tuesday and made him finally eat, at which point he returned to the land of the living pretty quickly. Like in minutes. Thank heavens. So, 4 days and a $90 carpet cleaning bill later, we're back to normal around here. For the time being, anyway . . . .
(By the way, can you BELIEVE Thanksgiving is two weeks from today?!? Whuh?)
