A Night in the Life of a Mom!

Our van is officially broke in thanks to Gavin! (Warning: what you are about to read may be TMI, but hey, it's life and most of life is TMI, right?)

I picked up my niece and nephew last night to stay the night and on the way home we decided to swing by one on the Christmas houses, you know the fun one's that have lights to the music? Anyway Gavin didn't want to go, he wanted to go straight home, but not wanting my 4 year old to tell me what to do we went anyway because everyone else wanted to go, BAD IDEA!!

On the way home he PUKED, and not just a little puke, I mean chunky brown PROJECTILE puke!! It was all over the back of the seat in front of him, all over him and a good portion of it landed in my nephews bag and the floor. I had a bowl of caramel corn so I took it out and wrapped it in the plastic that was covering it and then gave him the bowl just in case. We made it home without another mishap and I took  him in the house, stripped him down and put him in the tub. /Thank goodness my niece was there! She helped get the other kids in the house while I took care of Gavin.

I GLOVED up, grabbed my rags, and bowl of soapy water and headed to the van. It's a good thing I love my son, because it was soooo NASTY!!! In the middle of cleaning my niece came out and said that Gavin needed me. I found him all wet and shivering on the toilet (after following the trail of diarrhea from the tub)!! Seriously? The poor thing! Not once did he mention that he didn't feel good. My only clue was he didn't want his dinner, but I just thought it was because he was excited to go get Luke.

I got him cleaned up from that and back into the tub and I headed back out to the VOMIT VAN. I had just finished cleaning the van when Madi told me that Gavin needed me again. I went in the bathroom and found him standing in the tub...of DIARRHEA! He didn't get out in time. I felt so bad for him. I drained and cleaned the tub and then I scrubbed Gavin down really good and just rinsed him off in the shower.

After he was taken care of I called my sister-in-law to let her know I had just unknowingly exposed her kids to THE BIG D and the VICIOUS V and then went to cleaning Luke's bag. I wish I could say it only got on the blanket, but it was all over the inside, GAG! I was literally scrapping puke off his blanket and into the toilet then poured the rest into the toilet. EVERYTHING that was even near the explosion site went in the washer with LOTS OF BLEACH!!!

So much for a fun sleepover!! Maybe next time.

P.S. Just in case I didn't gross you out enough:  When I was cleaning the bathroom I went to move Gavin's shoe's and there was a quarter sized pile of diarrhea IN Gavin's shoe.
