Dubious gifts

A lifetime of having an overly sensitive stomach has taught me the signs of vomiting long before I actually puke. It’s different from feeling nauseated which I can do for great lengths of time but there is no way I will actually puke. I generally have half an hour or so of notice that, “No really–it’s serious” so that I can go clean the toilet, pull my hair back, and just generally get settled. It’s a dubious gift but given that I almost always have issues with uhm problems from the other end when I am vomiting I’m awfully glad I get the opportunity to clean the toilet first.

Well, Debbie, you wanted me to post something. 😛

ETA: This is the suckiest part about being a stay at home mom. Unless I happen to get sick on the weekend I don’t really get a day off. 🙁

    So it started with a slight ‘ew’ with the vomiting and toilets, and ended with a ‘kinda cool’ with the sparkling porcelain god with which to bow to, so I’m with the above comment from rbus… and then I realized despite the sanitary-ness of the situation, you were still vomiting… (I’m practicing my empathy) 🙁

    My cousin says the same thing about being a full time mom. It isn’t 40-hrs a week which is what her husband thinks is his only job, but 24/7. I think the latter is what she is most frustrated about 🙁 .

    But I’m still impressed with your silver lining. And hopefully, if this is the worst of what’s kept you away from blogging, then at least it’s temporary and this too shall pass?

    *hugs and love!*
