Bleh!

I've been up since 3:00 am catching puke! Sounds fun, right? Not really! Elliot woke up crying and holding his tummy a couple hours ago and has been puking about every 15-20 minutes ever since! Poor baby! I guess the stomachache I had on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was some kind of stomach bug after all. I never puked, but definitely felt like I was going to a few times. What a way to spend Christmas. Of all the days Elliot could get sick, though, why is it today!? I was supposed to start my clinicals in an hour, but it looks like that is out now. What a pain! Now I'm going to have to be a no-show and make someone mad. I know I can make up the day, but I still have to pay for the hours again, which isn't too expensive luckily. GRRRR! What bad timing! I just hope that Elliot is feeling better soon. I hate when my babies are sick. The look of desperation on their little faces when they don't fell good just breaks my heart! But hey, just think... there's still 3 more people in the house who haven't caught it yet. I bet New Year's this year will be a blast!!! Almost as fun as that one New Year's we all had pink eye! Now THAT was fun! Guess our plans of going out with friends will have to be put off. Darn, and I was so looking forward to going out too. Such is the luck of the Milner's. Sometimes I think we're cursed. I just have to keep telling myself "This too, shall pass". At least I'm starting to believe my title to this blog! It makes all the sense in the world to me now. HaHaHa.

OK, well it's 5:16 in the morning, I've been up since 3, and I didn't go to bed until almost 11:00 because my darn book just wouldn't let me put it down, and surprisingly I'm actually awake! I'm thinking about making some coffee and reading some more. That plan sounds great to me, but I'm sure it won't work too well. Elliot is due for another puke-fest in a couple minutes. MMMM... there's nothing like some chunky puke in your morning coffee. EEWW! OK, sorry that was gross. Maybe I am still tired. My brain feels a little fuzzy. I'd try to go back to sleep, but every time I get comfortable and start drifting off I hear poor Elliot starting to retch again! I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG day!!! Calgon, Take me away!!!
