Dearest Children,
I love you all so much.
But please, if you feel the need to throw up, consider the following:
1. Try to already be in or near the bathroom when the feeling overtakes you. Stomach acid, I've found, can penetrate marble floors, leaving them with the "splattered" look, long after they've been cleaned.
2. Don't drink a 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk just hours before needing to vomit. Sour milk is bad enough, but milk + Nesquik + digestive juices = most unpleasantness.
3. If Mom or Dad put a bucket near your bed and line your carpet with plastic just in case you feel the need to regurgitate during the night, TRY to at least aim your spillage in the bucket or on the plastic. How it makes it across the room to your sleeping sibling is beyond our comprehension.
4. Try, just try to not plan your illnesses on the same days that your parents want to take a trip or have very special out of town guests coming to visit.
5. Mama will always be there to hold you up, put a cold or warm cloth on your head, and give you 7-Up.
Vomit: It's an undeniable part of life's experiences.

How about pretending to be nauseous when you want them to get certain things done, such as their homework, cleaning their rooms, or if you want them to eat certain foods.
oh no!! poor kiddie-o's! but it's written with such humor, i can't help but laugh a little. :-)
hoping vomit isn't in my immediate future - i've got a 100 degree fever and eric's up to 102. :-( sniffle, sniffle...
hey, thought of you today - was in whole foods (i.e. whole paycheck) and not only did i find goji berries, but i found DARK CHOCOLATE COVERED goji berries! it's like 2 healthy foods for the price of one! and we all know, everything is always better covered in chocolate. :) email me your mailing address & anything special i need to know as far as filling out the customs sheet for packages to jordan and i'll send you a little care package. :) xoxox
