#not baptism

[aimie-academie]

I honestly think if I dipped someone, or if I got dipped- does not matter to me, both are very good- it would fix a lot of problems in my life

What a morning!

1 month old ate badly through the night. I changed her diaper 5 times alone. I got up for the day at 6am. At 6:45 I hear my 5 year old move her stool to go potty. Good for her doing that by herself.

Then we hear retching. Vomit on floor, on stool, her pants, and the wall. Well baby needs to be put down safely even though she'll be hungry again any minute! I grab cleaning wipes, my husband comforts sick daughter.

Doorbell rings. We ignore it for 5 mins as we deal with other things. But second ring then I go down. Downstairs neighbor tells us (most humbly!) that water is leaking into his kitchen. I check and yup puddle of water.

Send husband to deal with that dishwasher and puddle while I clean the bathroom. He had got the girl into the bathtub already. Baby is talking but not fussing yet. I get the throw up cleared and then mop the bathroom. He runs up and downstairs and to visit the neighbor to see damage there.

I attempt to call my family to change plans we had made in the day. Then baby starts crying. Older sister needs to get dressed now... Oh we had planned on giving her the "Best Big Sister" shirt for the activity today... Welp. I attempt my best presentation of the shirt anyway even though her sickness derailed our plans for baby today, and getting her dressed while baby needs to be held and rocked or will cry. She's wearing it! But when asked said, "Well there are other big sisters." Poor girl.

Husband makes calls. Thinks of a better alternative plan for the day than I had, but that necessitates more calls and texts. Feed baby. Comfort sick child. Feel overwhelmed. Good morning says my dad when he answers the phone. Smell vomit coming from somewhere.
