Sickies

Last night was a nightmare. Maya woke up about 9:00 and had thrown up all over herself and her crib. So, into the tub she went and into the washing machine went all the sheets and blankets. Got her back to bed and, no joke, not 3 minutes later we heard her again. She stunk to high heaven, but we decided to just do a wipe down instead of throwing her into the tub again. Into the washing machine went the sheets. Got her back down again, 10 minutes later, she'd thrown up again. This time the stench coming from her hair was overwhelming, so we just laid her on our laps over the tub and washed her hair. Into the washing machine went the towel that was in her bed because we were out of crib sheets. And so it went for about an hour and a half. Then, around 11:30, Maggie called out for me. She too had thrown up...more stuff than I'd ever seen. So, she got a good wipe down and the sheets went into the washing machine. I did 2 loads of laundry after I went to bed last night and they included pretty much every sheet and towel in the house! It was pretty nasty. Luckily Mags only puked that one time and Maya settled back down and made it the rest of the night. They were ok today...just a little tired. We got up this morning and had a bath to get the remaining stinkies off and then were good to go.

On a lighter note, we got the Invisible Fence fixed today. It was only broken in one spot where Aaron ran the airator over it last fall. Apparently there was a rock in the ground and the line lay right across it, making it not as deep as the rest of the line. Aaron must have hit it just right.

Possibly a rather large snow storm coming as early as tomorrow. NO MORE SNOW!!!!!!!
