Boy this thread has taken a few turns. I'll tell this story again for those of you that are fairly new around here.Last January DH and I went on a cruise. The night that we got home I got really sick with norovirus. At first I didn't realize what it was. I vomited once, so I took some dramamine. I also took some advil, but it turns out I acidentally took advil PM. So I fell into a nice deep sleep.What woke me up was me sharting in the bed, right by asleeping DH. I got up changed my pj's, rinsed the dirty ones in theh sink, laid a towel over the dirty sheet and went back to bed. I fell asleep and woke up only to go through the exact same thing about 2 hours later.This time when I got back in bed I sat up. DH finally woke up and looked at me and said "Can't sleep?"I said "ohh I could sleep, but I'm not gonna"Then I gave him a list of cleaners to go get from the store. After I slept the rest of the day away, we spent the evening scrubbing shart stains out of the mattress. It was very romantic.

Expat - That is absolutely horrifying and awful.But I do have to say, if that's the most humbling parenting moment she's had, she probably doesn't have any teenagers yet!

Nice use of

expat.

Colleen - You win

TJ - Yes, I'm sure she'll be reminiscing about the throw up when the kid's a teenager.

[i]I said "ohh I could sleep, but I'm not gonna"[/i] This is fantastic. And that really sucks. If it were me, Jay would've laughed at me and left me to my own devices, he's a nonsensical grump when he's asleep or sleepy.

One time My ex and I were out with the kids. I had to run into a store so they all stayed in teh car. I guess they were listening to music and playing air guitar etc. When I got back to the car one of the kids said "Mommy, we're going to start a band. Daddy said you can play the skin flute". Thank God they were two young to think anything weird about that comment and that they were hopefully two young to even remember the whole thing.

ExpatPumpkin · October 2009

Thank you, I may use

occassionally from here on out. But only when it's really and truly warranted.

thesuninherhead · October 2009

Oh Colleen. I have both wet the bed when sick (this was with my ex, and humiliating because we were in a single bed so there wasn't exactly a way for him to sleep through that! haha), as well as thrown up all over myself/my hair/the bed from food poisoning once (thankfully, while single between the ex and my H). Even when it was just me in the bed with the spew, it was humiliating.

aMrsin09 · October 2009

too young to know what it meant, but old nough to repeat it innocently to the choir/band director. Hope you smacked the ex.

colleenspencer · October 2009

It was a truely horrific experience. We had been married only a few months. I'm pretty sure if I shat on him before, he would have called off the wedding, lol.

alix - I have been reading the most hilarious tear downs of Twilight recently (not because I hate it as much as others, but it is kind of funnily bad even though I did read them all), and every time I do I feel vaguely guilty and I realized it was because I figured you'd be all disapproving.Also, on a plane last month, I finally got around to watching the movie, after totally making fun of all the hype forever, and at the end I was like "Aw, crap, now I've got a crush on him, goddamnit."Also, I am using this thread as a confession - part of my income comes from my blog, which relies on people actually READING my blog, which requires regular writing, and I've realized that just transcribing things Buddy and I say to each other actually gets page views, if not huge discussion, so I am officially phoning it in as often as possible.

thesuninherhead · October 2009

skin flute? good god!

colleenspencer · October 2009

I enjoy your blog.

aMrsin09 · October 2009

hmm, sounds like H is spoiled. He threw up in bed once and I rolled him onto my side of the bed and then cleaned up his side. He said that was when he realized I really did love him.

colleenspencer · October 2009

I'm pretty sure I did smack him, although not as often as he deserved.

colleenspencer · October 2009

Also, Does anyone have to click on the "next" button twice to actually get to teh next page after you post a reply? That's damned annoying.

ExpatPumpkin · October 2009

TJ - Do you ever blog any of the stuff that goes on over here? You should. I give you my permission

alixzafiris · October 2009

Ha! Another one bites the dust! And I totally don't mind the make-fun-of-Twilight stuff. One of my favourite blogs (though it hasn't been updated in an age) is Twilight Widowers Anonymous. It's written by a man who feels as though he's "lost" his wife to Edward. It kills me. And I can add an embarrassing story to the list: Last Halloween Jay & I went as characters from Heroes. He got Sylar (the eyebrows were epic) and I got Clare (last time I wear a mini in November thank you). So after downing copious amounts of alcohol and some dubious eel sushi, we got home and I was a) plastered and b) nauseous. Not a good combination. I wanted a bubble bath so Jay ran one for me and I plonked myself down in it, still in costume. I then decided I had to pee, so I got out, yanked up the skirt I was still wearing and peed. Then I yanked the sopping wet red skirt down and sat on our white bath mat. There is still a red assprint on it. Then I got back in the bath and promptly puked eel sushi in the water. It was disgusting.

temerityjane · October 2009

Thank you, Colleen. I was totally lying about that whole "phoning it in" thing. I am totally putting in full effort at all times. Please continue to read it.

aMrsin09 · October 2009

oh gawd alexis. At least it wa in the tub and easily washed down the drain.

temerityjane · October 2009

Expat - I've sometimes used my own posts twice. I usually write something over here and then decide I could totally milk it twice and get away with putting it on my blog, and one time, I did write a very long post on my site inspired by something on P&E, about internet safety, which then weeks later turned into a whole big ugly thing on P&E in an unrelated event.I am grateful for your permission, however, which will make slacking off even easier than before.Between conversations with Buddy, with my sister, and P&E, I don't think I'm ever going to have to have another original thought again.Though the funny thing is with my blog, I really should steer clear of original thought, because when I have thoughts of my own, my readers get so maaaaaaadddd...

Alexis - My dad said that when I was two or three that I pooped twice (twice!) in the bathtub. They had to run three total baths for me that night. Argh... I can't wait to be a parent.

alixzafiris · October 2009

Expat, that sounds like my youngest brother. When we first came to Canada my parents both worked insane hours so I "raised" him. Every time I'd put him in the water, he'd poop. It was disgusting. It's no wonder I dislike kids.

ExpatPumpkin · October 2009

Sorry, I meant Alix

aMrsin09 · October 2009

OK, it's been fun, but I really need to get to the store If I'm going to have dinner tonight. If I miss you all, have a good evening/early morning.

temerityjane · October 2009

Expat - I used to babysit the most adorable kid on the planet until I moved (the only reason I agreed to move was because his mom is a popular blogger and regularly posts videos of him), and once when I was watching him, he pooped in his pants twice (still potty training), pooped in the tub twice, and when his parents got home, his mom told me that she had come home from an event earlier in the day because he had pooped. While she and I were talking, the father went upstairs to check on him and yelled back down, "He pooped AGAIN!"He was only THREE. Where was it all coming from!

ExpatPumpkin · October 2009

TJ - I don't think you should consider it double-dipping to use posts you've written here on your blog. The knot's not paying you, after all

Besides, I think people who aren't in any way involved with wedding planning would find some of the nonsense that gets posted over here to be hilarious.

thesuninherhead · October 2009

Oh yes. Today I was thinking, well maybe I don't need to work after July next year and I should just concentrate on a baby instead? And then I remembered the issues of mortgage, lack of $'s, and actually having to raise a baby.

temerityjane · October 2009

Expat - I'm totally terrified to post anything at all wedding related over there. I get worried every time I say "wedding" in any situation that isn't on P&E or to Buddy that people think I'm one of those women who can't talk about anything but her own wedding.

ExpatPumpkin · October 2009

Oh, and that babysitting story was horrendous. Too much poop from someone you're not even related to

Soooo...
