Mother’s Intuition and Vomit
Anytime the word vomit makes it into the title of a blog post, you know it can’t be a good thing.
I have the weird mother’s intuition about vomit. Actually all sickness in my kids, most of the time. Little Emma just had to look at me tonight and say in her little voice, “my tummy hurts” and there I was, knowing before I picked her up that she had a fever, and basically ready to catch the vomit. Well, maybe I wasn’t completely prepared. The couch smells pretty bad right now.
When she had pneumonia over Christmas last year, I was the one who decided we had to take her to the doctor in Breckenridge. I guess I’m just pretty tuned into my kiddos since I spend, well, practically 24 hours a day with them.
At any rate, I’m emotionally drained now (this cycle of worry begins every time a child is sick), so I’m putting myself to bed. After scrubbing my hands with soap and disinfectant. And cleaning the couch. And posting this post….
