A Snowy Day

You would think on a snowy day I would be relaxing with some hot cocoa and baking cookies....nope, not today. It all started out fine, a lazy morning of cartoons and toast, but then the first bad news call came. My hubby is coming home sick, he feels horrible. Then as I was cleaning the house my little man starts throwing up all over the carpet, I feel horrible for him, but also for me{I have to clean all this up} I cover the couch with old towels {I never knew why my Mom never threw away towels until I had a child} and I make a comfy spot for my little man to rest, what does he do? He starts jumping on the couch, somehow excited by the towels that are now covering it. I do my best to make him sit still, Bubble Guppies finally does the trick. I get to work cleaning up the mess....yuck. Did I mention that there was some throw up that I did not notice on the kitchen floor that I proceeded to slip on and fall on my butt as I hurried for towels?{that was fun} I then call my boss to give her a heads up that we may not be coming in today, she happened to be with her Niece, who would love to watch Hannah, so that problem solved itself. I then call my friend to tell her we could NOT go out to lunch. Now the challenge is to make my little man rest, he seems un- phased by his throwing up, but I'm not, I want him to relax {not a word in a two year olds vocabulary.} I am hoping there is no more throwing up today, but I have prepared myself for the worst. We'll just have to see how it turns out. As I watch the snow pile up outside I am happy that we do not have to drive to work, yet I would much rather go to work than have a sick child. I guess I will just have to make myself relax, maybe I'll have that hot cocoa{but with a hint of Kahlua}. I just want everyone healthy, we have some fun stuff coming up {most importantly my Birthday :)} And we do not need any germs around to ruin our plans. Here's hoping for a relaxing day with no more "messes"
