Sick Kids and Smoothies

Miss M is sick.

No, she is SICK.

VERY SICK.

In fact her ’sickness’ is proportionate to the amount of washing I have done today.

So she is:

  • 1 Miss M
  • 3 duvets
  • 3 duvet covers
  • 3 pillowcases
  • 1 sleeping bag
  • 3 sheets
  • 1 cuddly dog
  • 1 cuddly seal
  • 1 furry pink heart cushion
  • 2 pairs of pyjamas
  • 1 nightshirt
  • 1 pair of Mummy’s leggings
  • 1 of Mummy’s hoodies
  • 1 Mummy
  • 1 rug
  • 1 carpet
  • 5 towels

    SICK.

If her sickness was a graph it would look like this…

If it were a pie chart it would look like this…

And if it were a dog it would look like this:

Ugly Dog

Sighhhhhh.

So to entertain her Miss E has been making up daft sentences on the Innocent Smoothie Website.   Several of them have involved the words ‘puke’ and ‘gross’ and  ’smells disgusting’.

Aren’t big sisters fabulous??

    Poor hun! And poor mummy! I can deal with it but vomit is definitely my least favourite part of being a parent.

    They say that dogs look like their owners don’t they? so is that yours or Ian’s? I can’t quite tell.

    Hope she feels better soon. Our kids refuse to be sick in buckets or the toilet, and insist on being sick on a towel. It is a pain in the arse.

    As the eldest child in my family, it seemed as though my younger brother and sister were CONSTANTLY sick. I used to refer to them as “sicklings” whever they came down with something. We older sisters need to keep our heads about us, and sometimes that means humor and sarcasm. ;)

      I agree. I was an older sister to two brothers as well as a younger sister. Sarcasm was definitely needed. My brothers were 'sicklings' too in taht they both had asthma and allergies and bronchitis etc. They're pretty healthy now but still have asthma at times.

    That’s very sick! I didn’t realize a kid could be that sick. I hope she feels better soon before you wear out the washing machine.

    I’m just so impressed that, despite poorly child (get well soon Miss M) and that mountain of washing, you have the technical prowess to represent the problem as a bar graph, pie chart and in dog form. Respect.

      Hee hee, I needed something to cheer me up. M was on my knee cuddling and snoozing while I typed. The sick bin was by my side just in case but luckily it was not needed. :D

    I can’t believe you drew a graph and a pie chart to show the sickness levels! It’s almost as bad as Single Parent Dad and his half term Excel spreadsheet. Almost.
    Hope she’s feeling better soon x

    That sounds veryyy sick indeed! Oh poor little miss M, hope you get well soon or mummy will run out of washing powder by the sound of things.

    BTW That dog I am sorry to say shouldn’t be allowed out in public!

    I’m sorry she’s sick. But the charts were very, very funny. I’m guessing you ran out of buckets? I seem to remember a night like that with little elf where we reached the last blanket in the house.

      I suppose it's the time of year for it, but it was still pretty vile. Mine normally get coughs etc rather than sickness so this has been a shocker. She's loads better now though thanks lovely. :D
