Walter has been out of town since Thursday. I brought a pile of work home and was having a very hard time getting anything done. Today, especially. The baby wasn’t himself and went all Exorcist if I tried to put him down at all today. The other two wouldn’t get out of each other’s butts. Finally, around 1:30, I snapped. Loaded up the car and decided on the fly where we were going, but we had to get out of the house. I stopped for some drinks a Sonic and headed down to Bearcat park so they can run the crazy out of themselves. I brought the laptop and hoped the battery lasted long enough for me to get anything done.
The weather was beautiful. “This is brilliant!” I thought. The baby was chillin in the stroller, Chloe was spinning Roman on the tire swing, and I was punching out some verbiage for a SPOT award. A short while later, the kids decided they were done. As I saved my work and packed the stroller, the boy announces he doesn’t feel well. “I’m gonna frow up.” The tire swing.
“Well, if you’re going to throw up, do it now; don’t do it in my car,” I told him.
“I’m okay,” he replied.
We get ten seconds down the road and he hollers in a panic that he’s about to blow. I pulled over and unlocked the door and told him to stick his head out so it doesn’t get all in the car. Except, he was trying to pull the lock at the same time I was pushing the button and we cancelled each other. More panic. He gets the door open and spews out the side. Except, he’s so small that he didn’t reach all the way out the door. It ended up mostly on the floor area between the seat and the door and then ran down and collected on the running board. What could I do. I shut the door on top of the puddle.
I stopped at WalMart to get more solution for our Bissel to clean the car when I got home. The kids were fighting because Chloe was afraid Roman would get her sick. “He’s not sick. He threw up because he was dizzy,” I told her. He added, “I know I’m not sick because I saw the carrots in my throw up.”
When I got home, I just hooked up the garden hose and sprayed it all down. I opened the door, sprayed off a couple toys, and just shot the hose straight at the carpet in the car too. I just hosed the whole mess and sucked it up with the Bissel.
