I like to make sure my kids have the most colorful and chunkalicious meal possible before they fall ill with a gastrointestinal virus. (I also make it a point to lick their plates clean for them and request that they sneeze directly into my face at least once during the crucial incubation period, but who doesn't?)
In keeping with this tradition, I kissed the little J-dog a thousand times yesterday and fed him winter squash, blackberries, and some Red Dye #2 pellets for the dinner that he proceeded to chuck up at various intervals throughout the night.
Consequently, the P-Dawg and I stayed up half of last night cleaning carpets, stripping and laundering sheets, and hosing down our youngest spawn.
The best part about the puking illness is you never know how many times it will hit, or when!
And Murphy's Law states that, as soon as a soiled set of bedding is replaced and the stricken child has been bathed and clothed in clean pajamas, the process will repeat itself. The child will not -WILL NOT - stage a repeat performance until every last morsel of recycled material has been cleaned up from the previous show.
Now I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Who will be next?
Thank God I saved my biohazard suit from two Halloweens ago. It's probably too late to avoid contamination, but one can never be too careful.

Sorry you have a sickie! But I love the addition of the titmouse!
Party at Rima's house! She'll provide the confetti!
Oh man, that's the worst part... waiting for the next family member to get it. That's what we're doing right now with the cold of doom.
Haha red dye #2 tablets.
Since I personally licked my boys' plates today, I am fully anticipating the arrival of said virus on our doorstep tonight.
Hope the boy feels better soon - and that the buck(et) stops there.

why is it that all i can think when i see your title is the song, "Groove is in the Heart"?
I'm a moron.
I like the titmouse on your shoulder. You're like a Disney bio-hazard princess.
Yay! Photoshop!
I shouldn't have perused the other comments: now Groove is in the Heart is in my head, too! Thanks, Liv.
I'm sorry for your puke-fest.
Also? I like your titmouse. I just wanted to say that because it sounds pervy, but its not.
Oh, yuck! I can't even begin to imagine... :)
biohazard suit!?! i need one!
you look so adorable in that biohazard suit! i think it's your true calling!
i'm so sorry about the puking. it's my nemesis. luckily, knock on wood, my kids seem to be puking less as they get older...
Poor J-dawg. Chunky spews are no fun. Hope the virus leaves soon. And that biohazard suit is a keeper.
Eew. But bio-hazard suits and your banter make for good giggling.
Sorry.
Hope your house is healthy soon!
That was so funny and that picture was priceless - it might just come in handy. Sorry to hear about the sickness going around, but the post was very funny!
Thanks for your nice comment on my post today - I have been so happy to see you around and am so enjoying your posts and getting to know you. Hope to see you again soon. Kellan
I was right there with you last night! My daughter has the same thing. UGH!!
Ohhh...we haven't gotten it yet. My fingers are crossed that we don't.
Oh Rima. Let me first get the "WOMAN, you are so dayum funny" out of the way.
Now then. You had me at chunkalicious. I hope this is one of those 24 hour bugs that passes soon.
And I LOVE the Ebola suit.
Nothing is worse than spagetti supper then the stomach flu! It looks like the child spewed bloody worms everywhere. And now that I have left that picture in your mind I will say, GOOD LUCK and leave.
We had that over Christmas! I wish I had your suit.
I love all these puking posts lately. I did one yesterday too. Bah.
Hope everyone is feeling better soon!
Ugh. I can handle most things but not stomach viruses. So gross and . . . repetitive. Hope no one else gets it!
ok. i'll stop complaining about my child's mild fever and boredom now.
at least that bio hazard suit looks easy to hose down.
Ugh, the stomach stuff. The part I hate the most is the waiting to see who might be next. No, wait. The part I hate the most is...ALL OF IT.
But your photo is hilarious!
Feel better, all of you.
On the one hand, sorry you're all so sick there.
On the other, at least you're still having fun with photoshop.
Oh so sorry - that just sucks. At least you have the suit though and I must say, you ROCK the suit!
UG.
I missed the vomit bug but have managed to catch the phlegm/hacking/sneezing but QUITE satisfactorily.
I'm so, so sorry! Hopefully it is done by now. Your biohazard suit rocks! Sense of humor will save you every time.
Hi Rima - I hope everyone is getting better around your house and you are having a nice weekend. Thanks for coming by today - see you soon. Kellan
You really are just hilarious. Really.
Thanks for the laughs, we've had the same umm thing in our house. Good times.
Bleh! I hope everyone is better by today.
I love your photoshopping....
and your blog....
now why don't they recall those red dye #2 pellets? LOL...my son had blackberries too, the night of the pukefest....ewwwww
but I didn't have a snazzy suit like yours to do the clean up.
Sorry to hear that the PukeFest has finally hit. Maybe you'll luck out and that other shoe will cease to drop.
Good luck with that... and I hope the little one is feeling better.
