A Good Purge Makes Everything Better

Tons of movie popcorn for dinner, followed by a huge bite of a self-decorated cookie with three inch high blue frosting at the grocery store = green vomit.

Started out as “THIS IS THE BEST DINNER EVER”, which made me “Mom of the Year”, and later that evening I received the award for “Worst Mom Ever” for, APPARENTLY, FORCE FEEDING the junk down her throat.

She did learn that sometimes vomiting is a good thing and I learned that having your kid sit outside for some fresh air makes for an easy clean up with the hose.

A big thanks to Emily for cleaning it up (this kid is once again amazing), because I had to make a quick switch with the cars, and, of course, that’s when she blew chunks.  Also, a big thank you to Olivia for circling the area with chalk so I wouldn’t walk in it.

When I was exchanging the car and getting ready to head back home, I received a call about the exiting of popcorn and cookie, and I could hear Liv laughing in the background as she chased Em with the hose.  I was so glad she felt better.  Who wants an upset stomach? 

The act of purging allowed me to go out with some friends that night instead of holding back hair.  There’s nothing like a good hurl.

I was also reminded of Art class and the color wheel, and that everything should be in moderation, even if refills are only 54 cents.
