Ten Things I’ve Learnt about Vomit.

Posted on February 19, 2009 10 Comments

If talk of spew makes you want to join in, you’d best click away now…

We’ve been living in the land of vomit for the past 24 hours and in that time I have learnt a few things…

1) You can not catch a five year-old’s vomit in your cupped hands no matter how much you want to avoid it getting on the couch.

2) Despite rinsing and washing twice, you will probably find chunky bits in the pockets of your shorts when someone vomits in your lap.

3) No matter how well you tie her hair back, clips and all, she’ll still manage to get vomit in her hair.

4) Even 5 mls of phenergan seems a lot when it comes back up.

5) The Small Boy really does inhale his food whole.

6) You can guarantee that just as one child stops vomiting and falls asleep around 1am, the next one will start.

7) You will have to make tough decisions – like whether or not you should eat the last magnum ice cream and risk vomiting it back up if you get the bug too.

8) Even when you have changed clothes and had a shower you will still smell like vomit.

9) The amount of washing is not propionate to the number of people who vomit… there will be way way way more than you think there should be.

10) Waiting to see if the last child will start vomiting is just as painful as living through the first two doing it, but not as bad as contemplating the idea of the Baldy Boy getting it too.

    Oh God.

    I can relate to all of those but (touch wood) we have not dealt with alot of vomit over the last six months. Now I’ve typed that, I immediately want to delete it for fear of jinxing myself.

    Hope your world is less colourful soon.

    ICKY – OH dear …poor darlings and you too. I can relate too.
    I hope you are all on the mend soon.

    I hated vomit as a nurse in kids ward … the kids always missed the bowl. Thank goodness I didn’t have to do the washing.The smell was always enough to get to me…enough said

    Oh hugs to you – very much long distance hugs, because I have been dealing with the opposite tonight and we don’t want to cross-pollinate.

    I cannot believe how long the aroma of vomit can stay up your nose after the event. Hope it ends soon.
