For the first time I caught Lucy thecutestdogever mid-squat before she was able to pee on the rug. I grabbed her to take her outside.
I had almost reached the door when I noticed she was squirming around strangely…
Suddenly: puking puppy… I’m slipping in it… and then I’m on the floor… with all three boys yelling “ARE YOU OK MOMMY?!?!”
I’m lying there with my feet and legs covered in dog puke and all I can see is 6 kid legs. I’m trying to hold the puppy (so she doesn’t EAT the vomit) while blocking the 3 inquisitive youths from getting too close in their investigations.
Mr. Plain is stunned for a minute — it really was spectacular — and then brought me some old towels.
At bedtime I found myself telling the boys stories of all the people in the family who have thrown up on me. Turns out that Mr. Plain is the only one who has yet to do so.
So at least that’s something.

May 23, 2007 at 9:33 pmwell, you know what they say… you’re not a mom until you’ve been puked on. Ok, I don’t know about THEM, but it’s defitely what *I* say…!!
I just think it’s unfortunate you couldn’t have managed to capture your escapades on video so that we could share your misery! (we wouldn’t laugh, really…)

May 23, 2007 at 9:35 pmA long time ago, I made a deal with Gingee that no matter how tired I am or upset, I will not yell at her as long as she pees on the floor rather than on the carpet. It worked for a while.
Still, earlier I called Empire Today to have someone remove the carpet and put a floor instead. It’ll make it easier on her to avoid the carpet if there is no carpet.

May 24, 2007 at 3:19 amclearly Mr. Plain is a good man. but don’t remind him too much that he hasn’t puked on you, or he’ll be into the tequila this weekend to set things aright…

May 24, 2007 at 4:40 amLOL! It’s still better than pee on the rug!

May 24, 2007 at 5:54 amIs it wrong that I think I would have kind of enjoyed seeing this happen? And I wish I could say that I’ve never been thrown up in by my husband. You’ve got me beat there.

May 24, 2007 at 8:12 amHEE!!! And Awww!! But mostly, HEEEEEEE!!!
Glad you’re alright though and I hope hubby continues to remember you are not, in fact, a vomit receptacle.

May 24, 2007 at 9:31 amToo funny. Nothing like animal and or child vomit to make you feel uber-sexy. And it is a good thing our husbands don’t make a habit of throwing up on us as we definitely get it enough from the other family members.

May 24, 2007 at 10:33 amI’ve totally got a visual of you and dog puke. Sorry to chuckle because that really does suck.

May 24, 2007 at 11:19 amAren’t puppies great? But isn’t it funny how puke doesn’t phase you once you’ve had kids?
