Last night has to be one of the worst nights in terms of sleep we have had in a long time. Both kids have this random cough, and their noses have also started to run with green snot. They seemed fine enough during the day but the cough is so much worse at night when they are laying flat. Nick got up early and gave me a sleep in until 6am (the fact that is a sleep in is wild) and then he left for his “work” fishing trip. Paddy again cried Dadda Dadda for 20 mins when Nick left but then overall the morning wasn’t too bad.
Today is a work day for me so the nanny came at 8am and the kids went to soccer while I had a work meeting here, and it was actually about this blog funnily enough! Then the day consisted of work and trying to complete my to do list that never seems to ever be complete. Nick asked me to pick him up at 4pm from the pub because he said if I don’t pick him up he probably will never come home which I feel is a very responsible choice. I feel so proud of him for finally growing in to such a responsible adult. He was at this “work” fishing event with a few mates who are married to some of my friends so we decided to all head to a family friendly dinner at 4:30. We pulled up to the pub and Edi-Rae was asleep so I got Paddy out for a stretch while we waited for Nick (+2 of his very intoxicated friends) to come out. After a little stretch I looked in the car to see if she was awake and she was VOMITING all over herself. I nearly died!!! The boys were walking towards me drunk being like “heyyyyyy” and I was like “TAKE PADDY QUICK” they were like ummm wtf. I quickly got her out and there was vomit all over her the poor little thing. Nick and I just looked at each other and were like fuuuuuuuuck. I thought maybe she could have been car sick from eating before getting in the car because she was still smiling. Once we got to the club for dinner she did another HUGE spew. Then another one. Now I feel sick… am I actually sick or is the vomit making me feel sick? I made an executive decision for us all to leave and get Paddy maccas on the way home which he was stoked about anyway. We made it home with no vomits then once I got her out of the car she did another vomit but it was just bile this time. The poor thing was so confused and upset, I find it so hard to stay strong and not cry myself in these situations. Paddy sat at the table to eat his nutritious dinner while Nick sat with Edi-Rae in the bathroom and I cleaned up all the vomit covered items and vomit proofed the couch ready for more. She ended up so thirsty and drank SO much water then was tired and wanting to go to bed. It’s been almost two hours since I put her to bed and so far so good. I’m exhausted so I’m going to go to bed and really put it out there to the universe that everyone sleeps well tonight and tomorrow does not consist of anymore vomiting…
