Testing my dedication.


Last night was like a scene from a movie; there was vomit everywhere.  Ashton threw up on a soundly sleeping Reagan.  Reagan threw up on a soundly sleeping Jimmy.  Jimmy threw up in every bathroom in the house.  And I was the vomit catching, hair washing, back rubbing slave through it all.  Thank the good Lord that I only felt sick and didn't ever get sick, because then we'd be out of hands to hold barf bowls for the kids.  I was damn close to putting both kids on the kitchen floor with two bowls and leaving them there to fend for themselves. I mean, after the first 10 times using the bowl, they knew the drill.  Besides, by that time, it was all dry-heaving, so the mess would likely be limited...

This morning, I called my mom to thank her for all the times she had a similar experience with me, because it takes love. Real love.
