A (not so great) first

Well it was bound to happen eventually. I mean kids get sick. Not just runny noses, ear aches but sick, throw-up sick. I have been dreading the day because I have a very weak stomach with that kind of thing. But I made it 3 years and 1 month so I guess I should feel blessed. But today my streak ended and Madelyn threw up. Just as I knew I would, I almost lost it too. My mom happened to be here and helped us (Madelyn and me) through it. I am not really sure what caused the throw-up. I hope it is not the stomach flu. Sure, right before this big thing with Abby next week. I am pretty sure it was just something that did not agree with her or she for some reason got herself a little worked up because it was a one-time thing and she was fine after that. (Thank goodness!) Though I have to say I am feeling a little yucky myself now but maybe it is just thinking about it. Seriously though, what kind of mother am I if I cannot clean up when the kids get sick without gagging myself? I thought it would be different when it was my own kids but, nope, not so much. I guess it is just another badge we have to earn for the sash of motherhood.
