"Booger Goddess"

I am so thankful I am not a single mother, and I am so thankful that I am not chronically ill. Our family has been sick for almost two months now. It is so annoying, Brodyn got a short break where he was healthy for about a week, but lo and behold, those sick bugs came back and bit him on the butt again. I've had a cold for awhile but Saturday I kind of got the flu, I fevered and my whole body ached, in fact I was exhausted, I didn't want to move. Emmy pooped her pants and it took all my energy to change her, I didn't even take her to her changing table just changed her right on the family room floor, and then she totally poops again 15 minutes later, I was dying. Then I just left the diapers on the bench I had no energy to take them out to the garbage, I was miserable. I kept thinking I am so glad I have Dan to at least take Brody and help clean up, those poor single moms who just don't get a break whether they are sick or not.

Then Emmy wakes up every morning a "Booger Goddess" I am talking boogers from ear to ear, forehead to chin, how she even breaths I have no idea. She'll be sitting in her high-chair and Dan will come over to kiss her goodbye and he'll say "Wow Em, you look beautiful!!" She looks miserable in the morning!!

Brody coughed so hard today, I guess it didn't help either that we were playing kickball in the house, anyway he coughed so hard it jumped started his gag reflex, I'm sure all you mom's no what happened next, puke comes catapulting out of him, thank heavens there was a blanket right next to him, I just grabbed it and held it under his mouth, I was laughing the whole time because he was just convulsing and barf was coming out of him like an erupting volcano. The carpet was saved and I took him and the blanket and deposited him in the tub, what a mess. Then later that night when we were laying down to sleep I started coughing and Brody says "be careful, food in tummy come out!!"
