Good morning!

GOOD MORNING YA'LL​

​

What's so good about it?

I should still be doing this.

First, my DD8 woke me up at 4 a.m. to tell me she threw up in her room. So I had to clean up her comforter, sheets, and a very large amount on her carpet. While doing this, I woke up the little one. So she went in with DH while I scrubbed (he doesn't do throw up duty.) I dropped a hunk of vomit on myself in the process. I got DD8 to sleep on the couch because even with clean sheets, her new room stunk too much to be in it. I go into my room and find the little one has decided it's party time. DH can sleep through anything, I can not. So from about 4:30 until 6:30, I'm trying to get my 2 year old to stop kicking me, sitting on me, or asking for milk. Finally, one of us passed out around 6:30. I think it was me. At 8, my DD8 comes in to tell me she's awake and feels better. I sent her off to watch TV. But I only got another half hour before DH got up and reminded me I had a stinky comforter to get in the wash.

So, how do you get the smell of throw up out of a surface washable only stuffed animal? My DD8's lovey, a cat stuffed with those little pellets you can't wash, got hit. I'm also having trouble with the carpet since I have no carpet cleaner. DH can't handle the smell of throw up, so it's all on me.

Oh my gosh you and I had the same night!!!

Here was mine: DS8 slept in DS11's room last night. At midnight, DS8 wakes me up to say that his brother won't let him go to sleep and keeps making noises. We grab his pillow and stuff and go downstairs to put him in his own bed. At 5:00am, I hear someone walking around upstairs (main level). They go back downstairs, then I hear talking!! So down I go to tell them that despite the fact that the sun is up and it looks like day, it's only 5am and far too early to be up! Come to find out, DS8 had coughed so hard that he barfed in his bed..... So, commence cleaning, change his sheets, tuck him back in (I use a lavendar scented cleaning spray so the room smelled normal). At 6:00, I hear someone upstairs again. Then I hear paper towels being torn off the roll. DS8 has coughed up again, but just a little, and on the floor, so he's attempting to clean it up himself! He actually did manage to take care of it, but I go down there to find the lights on and now DS6 is wide awake. I send him upstairs to the spare bedroom, put DS8 back in bed for a 2nd time, and I go flop on the couch utterly exhausted....

There is nothing like having your sleep interrupted that many times in the wee hours of the morning to really screw up your day!

Oh, the stuffed animal: wash the bejeebers out of it the best you can. Then pick up some Febreeze fabric spray and use that several times until the smell goes away.

Where do you get the lavendar spray? I had nothing for carpets, so I just had to use our pet stain and odor remover to clean it. It doesn't get rid of cat pee smell and it doesn't get rid of throw up smell. So I'm not sure what odor it does remove. We have been spraying Oust to get rid of the smell, but until I can properly clean the carpet, the smell will be there. I've tried to scrub what I can on the stuffed animal, but since it can't be thrown in the washer, I'm limited to what we can do. I hope it survives.

We're going to the pool later with friends. I'd like to get a nap in before for me and the little one. Good luck with your kids.

I ordered it from Watkins, but I think you can get something similar in the stores. I also like the Febreeze air freshener spray (I use Crisp Linen - it's a clean smell without being too perfumy or flowery). I love Watkins stuff and order from them regularly. If I didn't live in East Overshoe, I'd probably sign up to be a distributor.

I don't what to tell you about the carpets because we don't have any! (well, one, but I've never had to clean barf out of it....I did have to clean up cat pee once when he got stuck in that room - I think I used Resolve spot cleaner on it initially, and then used one of those powders that you sprinkle on and then vacuum later, and probably two or 3 times at that. It's a stubborn odor!).

My DS8 is feeling pretty under the weather. His tummy is still upset but I think more than anything he's just really, really tired. I know I can tend to feel sick if I'm really wiped out.

Have fun at the pool!!

Invest in a Little Green Stream Machine. Those things are wonderful. It's a small portable stream cleaner. Mean Queen, As far as getting that smell out of your DD's stuffed animal. Once you hae scrubbed the fur as clean as possible I would spray it down with one of the deoderizes. Hitting it heavy with some lysol might do the trick as well.

I am so sorry that ya'll had such a tough night with your little ones.

Good morning DeterminedOne.

HEY...PEE-PLE​

[LegoMom3]

Finally!!....a real live person (or should I say, a real live pee-pole! )

Your graphic is hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Smileybug]

Hey, I'm bored. Big Brown lost. And he probably isn't going to be a baby daddy tonight.

 

[LegoMom3]

No kidding....

Well, first of all, it's a grueling test to begin with.

But a mile and a half in 90 degree heat...!!?? That's enough to sap anyone. I like that Kent pulled him up when it was clear he wasn't even going to come close.

I LOVE horses but I think I'm done watching races. This is too much stress for me!! At least a race is only about 2 minutes of sheer agony....I don't know how my husband watches an entire 4 hours of football when it's a tight game!!

I'm hot. It reached 95 here today!

[creativeamanda]

Our 104 in NC can't match 95 in NH. You all cannot be used to that amount of heat.

eta: weather.com says the high was 97--they are wrong. My house thermometer and the themometer in my car read 104. The high tomorrow and Mon is 102.

I'm thankfull that they did pull him in. No need to take those kinds of risk.

 

[Smileybug]

I just saw where you said it reached 95 there. Wow. What's up with your weather?

Wow, it was only like 94 here today. I'm near the coast in SC.

We get these days every summer, once or twice, but today is brutal because the last two days were 56 and rainy!!! That's a 40 degree jump, literally overnight! Monday is supposed to be the worst day; today was forecast at 90 and we hit 95 - Monday is forecast at 95 so it'll be a scorcher for sure.

I can't remember, are you in the eastern part of NC?? I remember some summers in Wilmington....Wow!!

I have no clue what it reached but the pool was refreshing at first, then it felt like very warm bath water. You had to keep getting out, baking in the sun, then getting back in to feel any relief. Luckily, we went late and around 5 a nice breeze came in off the Gulf. The little one didn't nap and is already down for the night. I'll be there soon myself. The sun really takes it out of you. That and a night of cleaning up throw up.

Here's to a better night's sleep for both of us!!
