A glimpse into my life

Raise you hand if you like Mollie's new outfit, it's bright, fun, and festive, right. She even has new shoes and those are cute too. So a new outfit, why am I posting that, you ask yourself? It isn't a very cute outfit when I had to buy it becasue she puked all over her other clothes.

Those who know my children will completely understand this story, those who don't, welcome to my life. My children, all three of them have intensely sensitive gag reflexes. When they get a cough, they throw up, when they smell something funky, they throw up, when they have too much food in their mouth or they taste something different, they throw up, get the idea. I have cleaned more throw up in my last 6 years as a mom than I care to think about.

Last night, Tyler had to do a mystery shop at the McDonald's in Burley, so we thought, let's make this a family outing, dinner at McD's, time together as we drive to Burley, nice right? As we were nearing the exit, Mollie started to cough and the cough got harder, I knew what was coming so I jumped into the back and she did it, she threw up all over herself. GROSS!, the worst part is, my other children do not handle this well, so we are frantically rolling down windows, and yelling, "Plug your nose, don't look!". I was not about to have more of this. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot of McD's I was yanking gagging kids out of the car and I looked across the street and there was Walmart. We ran over to Walmart and bought Mollie her precious new little outfit, a large box of handiwipes, and a bottle of cough medicine. Needless to say, our fun family outing, as usual, was full of surprises.

Alicia's Irony: 2 of my least favorite places in the world are McDonald's and Walmart, I am a germaphobe and a snob, so add a little throw up and you have entered my personal Hell. Someone slap me, the next time I get a bright idea like this one!
