Everyone's at Norwescon, and I am all alone...

posted by December/Stacia at 5:41 PM

All alone, with my family. Which at the moment includes a three-year-old with a stomach flu. She threw up Scotch eggs all over my vintage Sandman t-shirt today. Yes, I was wearing it at the time. All over my shirt, all over my jeans, all over me. Fun. Almost as much fun as five minutes ago when she threw up bananas all over her bed.

But, in the interests of actually amusing you rather than grossing you out, here is the picture of the Princess wearing the birthday gift she insisted on getting last summer.

You've amused me and grossed me out, she's such a cutie! :)

Am I torturing you with my email travelogues?

March 22, 2008 7:32 PM  

Lol thanks Wendy!


Not a bit, Mark! I mean, yes a little, but in a good way. :-) Keep 'em coming!

I can't remember being three, but I vomit into the toilet nowadays ;-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

P.S. What are Scotch eggs, and why don't my parents make me any?

Not the Sandman tshirt! Nooo! You have a lovely Easter story you can torture her with when you tell her future boyfriends about it. ;)

Oh, love them close and personal moments. Just feel secure in the fact that there will be plenty of people tossing their cookies at the con. Been there, done that. It's a right of passage. Hope the little one is feeling better.

Yes, well, Tez, I'm glad to hear you have better control over your gag reflex than my three-year-old does. :-) But she isn't feeling well, and she wants to cuddle in Mommy's lap to feel better, and I can't really expect her to have that kind of control.

Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs covered in ground pork with spices and break crumbs and fried. You can buy mini ones at gocery stores here. They're quite yummy.


Lol, Lisa, this is not her year. She had chicken pox on her birthday--two weeks before Christmas--and now this...


Thanks pikestephenson! Yeah, I hope she feels better soon too, and yes, I'm sure there's lots of people losing their booze at the con. But I still wish I was there. :-)

Poor dear. Chicken pox and stomach flu are no fun. I hope she feels better soon!

March 23, 2008 12:32 AM  

Poor you! The times I hated most when my kids were little was when they were ill. Missing a con to clear up vomit and comfort a sick little girl is no fun at all.

Hope she feels better soon.

I may be missing out on fun con action and email travelogues, but at least I don't have anyone puking on me.

I suppose that ends up favoring the plus column. Barely.

Hugs girl! God, the joy of motherhood. It's like they think they'll feel better if they yack ON you. Can't count the times I've had vomit down my shirt, leaking into my jeans and underpants.

Ahh...yep, them's good times. Hoping Roo will learn the joys of toilet puking by the time he's ready to go to kindergarten, 5 or 6 or so...but I"m not going to hold my breath.

Ah, the joys of motherhood. *grins*

Get well soon little one.

My girls were sick last month,each one right after the other, I had a few messy clean ups. My middle one is 6 and she sometimes forgets where the toilet is when she's sick.
I hope your holiday went well.

Hugs, Danette

Thaks everyone! She slept a lot yesterday but no more puking, and today seems bright as a button. So perhaps we're finally over it (dare I hope?)

The funny thing is, before I had kids I was always convinced there was no way in hell I'd be able to clean up vomit. Not with my delicate stomach. But it really isn't as bad as I always feared it would be.

March 24, 2008 9:01 AM  

Heh...this is why we have a puke bucket in the bedrooms. Gets pushed under the edge of the bed just in case someone decides they're sick in the middle of the night and can't get to the bathroom.

Glad she's feeling better!

I had a law school friend who refused to put his face near the toilet when throwing up. He'd puke into the sink and ladle it by hand into the commode.

True story.

March 24, 2008 11:41 AM  

Thanks Todd. Seriously. My favorite bit is the ladling. I'm going to have to remember that for a zombie diarrhea scene.

March 24, 2008 11:56 AM  

Tm, that is seriously the most twisted thing I can ever remember hearing.

March 24, 2008 3:02 PM  

Had you seen the fungal growth in his toilet, you might feel the same re: barfing there, but really...few things I've dealt with have been so enjoyably messed up.

March 24, 2008 3:37 PM  

Ah, the power of Greyskull hasn't fixed the flue, though, has it? Hope the munchkin is feeling better soon!
