Did I ever tell you...

that I LOVE disinfectant wipes???

Well, now you you -- they are a life-safer here at our house. Or at least, I hope so!

Our toddler daughter just started throwing up last night at ~9PM, out of the blue -- no warning signs. The kids at the babysitter's house aren't sick, we haven't been around anyone sick for at least a couple of months, but last night (and this morning) we had a 'bad case of the sickies' at our house! The only thing I can think of is we went to the park on Wed afternoon and there were well over 25 kids there -- maybe one of them had some sort of virus and my daughter touched the germies all over the playground? My daughter is a big thumb sucker, it's a wonder she's not sick more often!

I had that 'mommy gut instinct' last night and decided to sleep on the floor next to the toddler's bed -- good idea! Every 30-45 minutes we were up getting sick -- the poor thing. I don't even know how she had anything in her system to still get sick at 4AM this morning!

She's napping now, so hopefully, we're in the clear....

I did 3 loads of laundry and disinfected the entire house -- all the door knobs, lightswitches, bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms -- it's all germ-free (or at least germ-free by my standards). I can go on and on about germs and how I'm very lax when it comes to germs -- I mean a kid has to build up their immune system, right? But, when the 'sickies' come to our house -- I break out those wipes and go to town!!

We hope the little one is better and that Daddy is fine, too.
