7 quick takes on a Monday

So.

Just hours after messaging a friend,

"We're all healthy..."

Lily woke up screaming

and vomiting everywhere.

She's not one of those who just grabs the bowl and takes aim.

She fights the bowl.

I try to not get irritated;

I know she can't help it.

Tyler's dad died yesterday

(was that just yesterday??)

after a very long stay in the ICU.

We are still adjusting to having a new family member.

(who likes to go off taking long walks without telling anyone)

My eyes are burning

that 'sick' burn.

But maybe it's just that I haven't slept well the past few years days.

I hope I hope...

I need to pay the bills

but every time I get logged in

I have to help the vomiter 

or clean up diarrhea

or Lexi decides (again) that she is a cling-on today

(a very cry-y one, at that) 

I have 2 little gifts on my list

and I just can't seem to manage the time to get them made.

I don't like that much.

On a happier note,

I just opened my door

 to find that a sweet friend

dropped off some cookies 

(for when the sickies are over. or maybe for me, for now ;-)

and some Sprite.
