I am Murphy's bitch

[vawitch]

Seriously.

2:17am: My 5 y/o son came into my room saying he'd had a nightmare.

2:4xam: My son throws up his dinner in his sleep on my bed.

Which of course, no longer has the water-proof mattress pad on it, cuz my cat doesn't want to pee on it anymore, and my child no longer pees at night (and those things get hot)

3:40am: Several towels & a sheet set rinsed out in the kitchen sink later (and a thrown-away pillow), I leave a message for work.

Which has a 3-day (Wed is day 2) of a 25 person review meeting on our biggest (ppl wise, & hi on the $ wise) contract. Which has b-fast & lunch being catered in.

And I'll be late - cuz dragging my sorry self in w/ 2.5 + *howevermanyhoursofsleepigetfromthispointonward* = sleepy driver w/ 1hr one-way commute.

Seriously - I need to find me a sign. The Cosmos hates me, and gave me to Murphy - and didn't bother to send me the memo.

And anyone got any ideas on why everytime this poor child pukes in his sleep, it's always after he'd eaten Mac & Cheese? (doesn't come up everytime he eats it - but everytime this has happened, same food is involved)

I'm sorry to hear of your crappy day and I hope your little boy's feeling better.

Out of curiosity, is it only Mac and cheese that makes him sick? I ask because that sounds like it might be an allergy (maybe to cheese or wheat?).

So it seems - everytime he's done this mid-night vomiting (and then is fine afterwards), he's had M&C from either Kid Cuisine (sometimes w/ chik nuggets) or a restaurant's offering.

Yet it's not 100% = vomit; and M&C made at home (Kraft regular or Easy-Mac) hasn't had any problems.

And he eats whole-wheat bread & various pastas OK.

For restaurants (2x that I recall, including this episode)- I'm wondering HOW they make their M&C, and perhaps things are sitting out too long(?)

Yeah, that's more than possible. Either that or they're using a chemical thickener/binder/preservative that his little tummy can't handle.

Either way, poor sweetie :( It's always so hard on them, especially when they're that young.

Yay. Parenthood fun-time. Hope Kian feels better soon. Hope you get some sleep soon, too.
