4:30 Alex awoke the family by puking in his bed. After several kicks, Jeremy woke up too and used his puke cleaning super power to get Alex back in bed. I have no such puke cleaning super power and I end up puking myself at the mere smell of vomit.
5:30 Repeat
6:30 After more
6:45 More puking.
7:15 Sweet Ariel arrived.
Breakfast - bogurt and oatmeal.
And then, a very lazy boring morning. Alex spent his time in his room napping, puking and playing with legos. Ariel spent a good hour running to the bathroom and peeing. I think she had to poop but as soon as pee came out she got up, for another 5 minutes. Except for imitating Adam and completely taking her pants off, it wasn't too bad since there weren't any accidents. And finally she did poop and that was exciting too.
11:15 Tried to leave a bit early to stop by the grocery store to buy some ginger ale. And discovered my car wouldn't start. It wasn't the usual dead battery problem, the door lights were on as well as the clock but the engine wouldn't turn over and just made clicking noises. Alex suggested that we get a new car.
So - conundrum - I had to get Adam with no car in 10 minutes. Alex was in no shape to ride a bike so I put Ariel and Alex in the stroller and jogged up to the school.
11:40 Picked up Adam, the last lonely kid left.
11:45 Stopped at the grocery store. I bribed Adam with a donut if he would walk uncomplaining home. And Ariel got a donut by default. Alex did not. We also got some ginger ale.
12:15 Got home. Alex threw up one last time.
12:30 Put Ariel down for a nap. She was very sure she didn't want to put on her Dora underwear (pull up) so I said fine and put her down in her regular panties. She fell asleep quickly. The boys watched Star Wars.
3:30 Ariel finally woke up, dry! I sent her and Adam out in the back yard with their boots on. It got up to 50 degrees today which melted most of the snow, but still left some for Ariel to munch on.
4:15 Kids came back inside and had a snack.
Ariel is always happy with her cheddar bunnies:
Suffering from a bad case of hat hair:
Poor, sick Alex. I swear he puked 10 times today and has had 1/2 a ginger ale and a melba toast this afternoon.
4:25 Pick up.

Hope Alex feels better.
I'm glad Alex is better. What about your car?
