Sick, Party and another Sunny Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The boys decided the computer was more fun than playing with girls!!!!!!

Lucy blowing out her 10 birthday candles!!!!


The girls ~ enjoying the party!!!!


As I have said many times before, I love my job and I truly love working with children.......however, there are days like today when it has it's down sides too!!!
The little boy that I care for decided to be sick all over the pushchair (and himself), all over the car seat (and the car.....and himself!!!), all over my livingroom carpet ( and me.......and himself!!!) and then all the way to the bathroom (and on me and on Laurens socks lol!!!!). Bless him, he is only 2 and has obviously caught one of the horrible little bugs that are going around at the moment!!!! I spent 2 hours after his mummy came and collected him, cleaning the car, the buggy and my house (all are now completely sick free zones!!!). You see ~ I told you it has down sides aswell!! (sick being one of them!!!).

Once I had jumped in the shower and lauren changed he sicky socks ~ we headed round to Janes house as it was her daughters 10th birthday and she was having a small party. We had lots of fun and the kids enjoyed playing out in the garden and eating cake and icecream and sweets (goodness ~ I hope they aren't sick too!!!!!).

Then we went for a walk in the evening sun and it was just perfect, not too hot and with a lovely breeze. The forecasters got it wrong today (thankfully!!!), but there is a definite hint of rain in the air tonight!!!!

I can't handle vomit and i'm a nurse. Fortunatley as i work in recovery, when the patients are sick it's not 'real' vomit cause they are fasted!
Cleaning car seats and buggies are just the worst, it gets into all the straps, clips and all other hard to reach areas!
Glad you enjoyed the party, i couldn't eat a thing after the day you had!
Love Amanda x

Puking babies are so sad. Poor little guy. Sorry you had to clean all of that vomit. Yuck!

Hi Tabitha

What a way to start your day. Cleaning up another baby's vomit. Poor little fella, sounds as though he got really sick, really fast!!

It sounds as though you turned your day around. A party then an evening walk.

I hope that none of your family catch that nasty sounding bug that the little boy had.

Love and hugs
Elise.

love and bunches of hugs,
dani

Dana said...

Good thing about throwing up is that people usually feel better!! That's a silver lining!!! Hope everyone is better!!

Hi Amanda,
I am not good at dealing with sick either, unfortunately in this job you have to just get used to it (ha ha). The car and buggy are all clean, I have got some industrial upholstery foam that clean anything!!! The party was excellent ~ I didn't eat a thing, the diet is in full swing, now a whole stone lighter (my trousers keep falling down ~ ha ha ~ not a pretty sight!!).
Have a nice evening.
love and hugs,Tabitha XX

Hi Kellan,
They are all lovely girls, apart from my little Lauren ~ they are all in Daniels class at school and get on really well.
There is no more sick today and the little boy is much better now,
see you again soon,
love and hugs

Hi Elise,
We have escaped the bug so far. The little boy is fine, he has been like that before, really sick and then absolutely fine the next day. We have rain today ~ it finally arrived, so no sunny walk for us today.
Love and hugs

Hi Dana,
That is very true ~ he did seem a little happier once it was all over, but then I had to put him in the bath, which didn't amuse him.
Hope you are well, nice to see you again,
love and hugs,
Tabitha XXX
