What a way to welcome in 2009!

Beware ye weak stomached people!

I can't believe it is 2009!

We certainly did our best to bring it in with style.

Vomitting children, husband sick (although he bypassed the vomit) and me......well, I wasn't so lucky.



5 years and 6 days marks the date of last time I threw up.

It was 2 nights after Christmas.

Before that, it had been over 18 years.

Can you believe that!

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a real fear of throwing up. I mean, a crippiling fear of it.

5 years ago I had to have Rob there to baby sit me, rub my back, clean the sink out (because I refused to vomit in the toilet even after he cleaned it), and even say a prayer that I would let my body relax enough to let it do what it needed to do.

He then called my parents and announced to everyone that my "vomit-less" streak was over and I had lived through it. Cheers were heard around the world.

I handled myself much better this time.

I did it all on my lonesome.

Just like a big girl.

I even cleaned up after myself.

Progress............Progress is good.



Here's to another 18 years........and may it not come sooner! :)

That really sucks! I'm so sorry to hear about you all being sick. I was wondering why you hadn't blogged in awhile! Hope you all feel better real soon!

I'm so proud! I wish I could say the same about my throw-up timing. Unfortunately it was last night, then last week, then the day before that....and so on.
Loves to the sick kiddos. and one brave mama.

My fear of puke isn't crippling, but I sure hate to do it. Last year right after Christmas I threw up so many times and had to sit on the toilet while puking in a bowl, that I had to go to the ER. (I was just pregnant) I'm with ya, lets go 18 yrs or more without. I hope you are feeling better now. I am proud of you for not letting fear take over! Your awesome Mel!

YUCK! I'm so sorry! I HATE throwing up! I can't watch, hear or smell people throwing up or I start to gag! I don't trow up that much in life and I am so happy for that! I hope you go another 20 years before you have to throw up again!!
