Plus/Minus

- Woke up this morning to retching sounds heralding the beginning of PukeFest 2006, hosted by M_'s digestive tract (or what remains of it).

+ Wooted me a Roomba before 9am, thus ensuring that, come what may, I will be filled with a warm, self-satisfied feeling of peace for the remainder of the day, secure in the knowledge that soon I will be able to happily abdicate my Queen Of Sweetney Household Vacuuming throne (which I imagine as crafted from gigantic ribbed tubes, with a seat coated in matted cat hair).

- I have since had to cart several bowls o' puke away from M_'s couch-embedded position for bathroom disposal... bleech. Why don't they make a iRobot for that (Pukeba?), huh?

+ I am not the one puking. YET.

- I am going to be subjected to an endless barrage of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes today (M_ is newly entralled with Mickey Mouse, and will now watch nothing else).

+ At least its not The Wiggles.

We Wooted a Roomba a few weeks ago and yet...it never came. Our credit card was charged, but Woot had no record of our order and hence, no Roomba was delivered. So, after much torture and consternation, we canceled. And had we known that was going to happen, we'd have Wooted a Scooba a few days later instead.

Keep a close eye on your order, is what I'm saying. I love Woot, but that whole thing made me nervous.

Also, man, big-time sympathies on The Pukles.

dude, that suuuuuuuuuuucks about the puking. kingston had some pukiness a few weeks ago but it was very short-lived. I hope M's is, too. and you're not allowed to get sick, dammit. because I said so.

That last line -- "At least its not The Wiggles" -- has forever endeared me to you, Tracey. If I have to hear "Chirpy-chirpy. Chirpy-cheep-cheep-cheep" one more time, asses will be kicked.

Hope the M-dog rallies soon. Puking sucks. (But not as much as being the puke messenger.)

oh no!!!
i hope you don't get it too.

+ She will go to sleep (eventually) and you can have the remote.

- The living room will smell like puke

+ You might get to have a nap too

- She might wake up puking, awakening you from your Greg Wiggle fantasy dream.

Clear fluids and lots of mommy love! Get well soon M. You stay healthy too.

My kids are big pukers. I keep tons of Oxy stuff around for that godawful smell. Hope M. feels better soon.

Sorry about the puking. May M_ make a speedy recovery, and may the adults of your household be spared the agony.

[sarcastic journalist]

We have the puke/poop bug going on right now. That's why I'm up at 3am...can't get too comfortable in bed before I hear "mommy?"

[Maria]

Poor M! I hope she is better soon.

I will also cross my fingers that you don't get sick too. The only thing worse than carting puke is doing so when you feel like puking.
