Oh...my word. I've talked about my insane phobia before. But did you know that when you have kids, they puke? That was
not in the brochure (or on those sweet little huggies commercials). I'm starting to become desensitized...starting. Mikayla had a stomach bug (ie: horrendous-stomach-destroying phobia-inducing-scar-you-for-life-puke-till-your-guts-fall-out flu). But being the good mother that I am, I stayed with her the
entire time. That's right. Where's my trophy. I may have been
thinking "oh, mygosh, oh, mygosh! Don't puke on me, pleeease don't puke on me! If I get sick I'm going to die. I.will.
die. Who gave this to her? WHO??? That's it! She's
never go to school again!!" But I was all calm and motherly on the outside and that's really all that matters, right?
Well, now we have a bit of a situation. She now has the same exact phobia. She could just be playing me like a fiddle, knowing how much I hate puke...and it almost worked. "Mommy, Jonas puked in the sink today. I don't want to go to school anymore." "Mommy, another boy threw up. Do I have to go to school? Please don't make me go to school? I don't want to throw up!"
I gotcha sister. I feel the same way "I know sweetie. But germs are everywhere. Do you want to go to the play place?" "Yes!" "Well, honey, germs are there too. The park? Yep...it's got germs too. Flipside? Where do you think you got sick the last time? You can't escape them, honey bunches. Now go get your backpack."
So, yeah. We may have a whole new set of problems now...

Oh my goodness on so many levels that is so AWFUL!! I remember having those stomach bugs all the time as a kid and thinking just how much I hate throw up, and Kaleb somehow genetically inherited it and now he's scared of anything we tell him to barf into: (towels, blankets) like that's what makes him barf. Sigh... Just glad you survived and crossing fingers you don't get sick too... At least for Mikayla there's only a few weeks left of school.
