Did I puke last night?

Our neighbors Kim and John Dewall had a Thanksgiving Eve party.  Great idea as no one has to work the next day and we got to walk to the party!!  The boys went with us and Evan was so excited that there was Buffalo Chicken Dip.  After helping himself to it all night he told me that his stomach was upset before he went to bed.  I gave him some Tums and off to bed he went......

At 12:30ish he came and woke me up 'Mom, I just puked.'  My response, 'ok, go back to bed.'   No mom, I just puked downstairs.  Oh ok, so I get out of bed.  I walked downstairs and as soon as I got into the kitchen I could SMELL it.  It took everything in me not to puke myself, but I would have made it to the sink, unlike Evan.  He had puked in front of the sink.  On the carpet and hardwoods.  REALLY?  He was apologizing and I asked him if he was going to get sick again, he said no so I sent him back to bed and told him I would be up after I was done cleaning it up.

Well and hour later I didn't puke and everything was cleaned up, well kind of.  I took the carpet outside and the hose had already been put away for the winter so I walked cups of hot water out to dump on the carpet and scrubbed it with a brush as best I could.  I couldn't get to close because of the SMELL!  I just wanted to make sure that the carpet got wet enough to stay wet until the next day.  I also had to wipe down all of the cabinets and mop the floor.  I needed a shower.

I finally get back upstairs and Evan is sound asleep.  Chris hasn't moved.  The next morning Chris wakes up and I told him 'Evan puked last night, we need the hose'. Well I stayed in bed long enough because Chris had throughly cleaned the carpet by the time I came downstairs and Evan said 'Did I puke last night or was that a dream?'  No, it wasn't a dream it was a nightmare, HIT THE TOILET/SINK/TRASH/TUB/SOMETHING next time!
