Jinxes abound! I have nothing to offer on the vomiticiousness of this post but I can assure you that Murphy has been having a giant roaring laugh at our expense as well lately.

Oh, no!! I am so sorry. We just got through with stomach bug hell here.

I recently learned a similar rule of parenting, which is: never, ever, EVER laugh at another parent’s puke- or poop-related misfortune, lest ye bring down the ire of the poop fates: http://bit.ly/1JFNH

One day you’ll remember these days – and … laugh? no? Well then, at least better days are ahead ;) (and at least there was no floating brown things in the tub along with the puke – now that’s a good time)

I read the first sentence, and automatically jumped up out of my chair and shouted “No! I forgot! She puked in my cereal just yesterday! Really! It hasn’t been months! I never said that!”

But it was too late.

And then I remembered that they are all growed up and out of the house anyway. Some things just have you by the heartstrings and you are stuck with it. I started to write “What ever possessed you …” but never mind, we’ve all made mistakes. :-)

your post was hilarious!!! I’ve had a bout of vomiting from my daughter recently, and just when my husband says “well, we made it through that meal without a barf” ….. she barfs! such hard lessons learned!

Damn you, Sundry, for I think that simply reading this post caused me to be sucked into the vortex with you. I was cleaning puke out of our VERY EXPENSIVE leather Crate and Barrel recliner yesterday, and off the upstairs carpet at 2 a.m. today. So yeah, thanks a lot.

And I hope that all has returned to a nice, puke-free normal in your household. :-)

Too funny…I had that same reaction last night! We are in hell week right now with the craziest schedule between work and the boys two different schedules. In the midst of all the craziness I made time to throw some corned beef in the crock pot and have the whole family over for my mom’s birthday. The conversation turned to my crazy schedule this week and my mom pops off with, “I am so amazed that none of you are sick right now.” I felt the vortex you speak of!!! I knocked the wood, crossed myself, threw salt, spit…whatever I could think of. Now I just wait and continue on the crazy ride of my life. Glad D is back up and driving you crazy!!

I’m feeling your hell right now at my place and it was totally brought on by a jinx too. We talked about what a great sleeper my daughter is and BOOM, up all night ever since. Barrage of sicknesses brought on by one simple comment on how lucky we were that the stomach flu our friends had skipped over our kids. Screwed, I tell you.

I hope your boys feel better soon and you can get on to business as usual.

Yeah, I feeeeeeel ya on this one. Just two weeks ago, I was remarking to my mom how fabulous I thought it was that my 9 month old had NEVER had to be on antibiotics as of yet despite going to the germ farm (daycare) since he was 4 months old and had had zero ear infections. I, of course, attributed it all to stupendous parenting (ha!).

Three days later he gets diagnosed with double ear infections and we get our first round of antibiotics. TWO DAYS BEFORE he finishes those antibiotics he spikes a fever of 103.4, we get sent home with the “it’s a virus” diagnosis and at our already scheduled well child (HAHAHAHAHA) visit less than 48 hours later, his temperature was 104.8. A chest xray, finger stick, blood draw from the foot and CATHETER later we get a diagnosis of pneumonia. PNEUMONIA. Never again will I remark upon his excellent health. Ever. Evereverevereverever again.

I can commiserate with your sucky weekend (except you had double trouble, I just had the one sickly munchkin). Hope your house is feeling better…
