Stock in Tissues?

Yep I'm contemplating it - one because we seem to be going through them excessively fast this cold & flu season and two because my son is fascinated by them and enjoys whenever possible pulling them out one by one and only occasionally trying to eat them - delightful!

We've had some illness passing through this house over the last couple of weeks. First I had a fever and felt rundown - although I've since attributed mine to mastitis not sure if I'd rather have that again or the full blown flu... holy crackers was that NOT fun at all to endure... but I'm better and then last week launched into Ace's sad state.
While out shopping with my friend Vanessa and her daughter Sabria - Ace picked up some sort of stomach bug. He while in his car seat/stroller rig vomited (out of a dead sleep!) ALL OVER himself, the seat, the (non-removable) straps... I had to pour water onto him to clean up some of the mess. He seemed more than fine with the vomiting repeatedly all over himself. So we ordered (did I mention we were in Starbucks?) since I was at the counter when he did this... they gave me the water and a towel and I picked him up and toted him to the bathroom to strip him down and change him into the spare outfit we had. I then went to work on the car seat while Vanessa held him.... and repeat step one... all over himself, Vanessa and my hand. So in the middle of Starbucks I strip off that onesie and there my boy sits in a diaper and a blankie. A while goes by and this boy is decidedly hungry, so against better judgement I let him eat... as soon as I sit him up everything else comes up with him soaking the blanket and the hooter-hider. We have now exhausted my already ill-equipped diaper bag of all things clothing. Vanessa to the rescue! A lovely maroon and pink outfit with ruffles and flowers to boot! I put it on backwards to spare him some girlie-ness. In the end those three rounds of export were all that he endured and after a 2 hour nap (unheard of by this boy!) by the end of the night he was playing around with his dad in his girl clothes.



By the end of the week Loving Husband was feeling bad and today he's even worse. We're hoping that the family is feeling better soon and that we don't continue to pass around whatever unique bug(s) that we already have had. Ace and I are off to get dad some Jamba Juice!
