Today was to be our first day of… routine! We were going to begin about half of our school subjects, I was going to get back into a good routine of exercise, and chores, glorious chores were going to be regularly occurring again. I made sure to go to bed on time last night, and set my alarm for 6:00am.
Little did I know, I wouldn’t need that alarm clock because at 5:59am Little Man came stumbling sleepily into our room saying, “Mom, I think I’m going to throw up….” Really?!?! I’m curious, why do they always feel the need to come and tell me rather than simply going to the bathroom….another mystery that will never be solved ;)
Poor little guy…he didn’t have much in his stomach, which of course led Mr. OverKill and I to rationalize that he must have been swallowing snot all night, and that’s why he puked. Ha ha, classic parental delusion… “Yeah, he’s just been swallowing mucus all night, he doesn’t really have a stomach bug.”
Ha.
Believing my own delusion, I decided to go ahead and attempt my routine. I made my juice and got ready to exercise with my new Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown DVD. It was all going nicely until I knocked my glass of juice off the coffee table while attempting camel pose. Then, while cleaning up the broken glass and sticky green juice that was splattered everywhere I hear that familiar heaving noise….and there behind me was Little Man, puking again.
Sigh….
Well, some of the kiddos will start school today…and half a yoga routine will just have to do this morning.
Here’s hoping the rest of the year doesn’t follow suit!!!!
