"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Why is it...
...that when children need to throw up they come tell you first, and then throw up next to your bed?
Why can't they just tell you after they throw up in the toilet?
I am going to invest in a plastic mat to put around my bed.
interestingly enough...my kids told me and/or threw up on me until they were like 12. at which point a magic light seems to turn on in their brain and they just run to toilet bypassing the "telling mom" part. it's lovely, and just look what you have to look forward to! :)
Let me help you feel better...my next door neighbor's 9-year-old threw up all over the livingroom floor only hours after the carpet cleaning guys came. Talk about Murphy's law!

I remember that I thought I HAD ARRIVED at peaceful motherhood when ALL FIVE CHILDREN COULD AT LAST HIT THE TOILET!!!!!
...truly IT DOES GET EASIER!!!
