A new appreciation for my mom

So, I was going to have a picture for you of an ice cream bucket, but decided, it was pointless. The reason? Well, it is because the ice cream bucket has become our best friend these past couple of days. Even though sometimes I haven't been very good at working it. Matthew has been sick for about three days. Wednesday was aweful! Every five minutes after I was able to get something down him it came right back up. And I don't know how many times both he and I had to change clothes. His poor blanket is going to be washed away by the time he is completely done. I have washed it about five times. I thought he was done yesterday, but then I let him drink some milk, and everything came right back up. I have now a new appreciation for mom who took care of me when I was exactly the same way EVERY TIME I was sick. Thank goodness I don't do that now. But, at least I am able to make it to the bathroom, with Matthew you kind of have to just guess and stick a bucket in front of his face. But, today hopefully it is all done. So, sorry for that sickness I just reported on. I haven't done a whole lot else, but thought I should post something. :)

Sorry you've had to deal with sick ones. Hope he feels well soon. I also recall taking care of you once when you were sick. Sorry to say it wasn't fun either.

Sick days are the worst! I can handle the ones where all they want to do is sleep or be held, but the throwing up ones are BAD. Hope he gets over it quickly!

So sad! I hope he feels better soon! My mom never gave me an ice cream bucket, although David has told me stories of the bucket when he was little. Bless your heart!
