   Its raining today in Wellington.  Currently hanging in the carport are: 1x mattress cover, 2x blankets (used as mattress covers), 5x single sheets, 7x pillowcases.
On the clothes horse in front of the dehumidifier are: yesterdays nappies, 1x pj pants, 2x pj tops, Monkey, Clarence, Ernie, Pooh Bear.
 In the dryer are the night inserts for the boys nappies, but shortly I will be starting to put some of those sheets through.
 
 Josiah has a touch of food poisoning... he threw up enough during the night that I had to change his sheets, mattress cover, pillow and pillow case three times... he also mananged to get his various cuddly toys at different times...
 
 The ironic part is I was going to change his sheets today anyway!  I just didn't intend on doing it at 3:15am, 3:40am and 4:20am.

   He is a bit better so far, Lyla.  He hasn't thrown up since this morning, although he keeps running to the bathroom every time he coughs saying "I need to throw up in the toilet"
 He doesn't have much appetite (sp?) which isn't really surprising, but he's kept down half a piece of bread for breakfast, a couple of crackers this morning, and a whole piece of bread for lunch so I'm not worried.  I bought him some Powerade and added a pinch of salt, as an old GP told me that is the same as the Pedalyte stuff they give you at the hospital - but tastes a lot better and my kids definitely prefer it!  He's drunk some of that and some lemonade, so at least he's having some fluids.

   Aww, hugs Annie!
 Josiah seems much better.  He threw up this afternoon, but I think it was because he'd stuffed a whole mini snax cracker into his mouth, and it was just too much and too dry.

   LOL Josiah sounds like a little man, even though he's not feeling well his eyes are still feeling like food!    Sorry to hear you were up so much last night Becca! Hope he's feeling better tonight and that you are as well    |
