Anyone for Jimmy John’s?

My three kids have the puke flu. It started with the five year old, Anthony, and he threw up about six times over the course of a day. Then Nathaniel got it on Saturday afternoon and he has been throwing up regularly since then, at least 15 times. Dahlia got it last night and has caught up to Nathaniel’s barf totals.

So, we have been having quite a time of it. This afternoon we ordered subs to the house and Nathaniel got his appetite back, so I thought he might be over the puking stage. Plus, he hadn’t thrown up for about six hours. About an hour after subs, Nathaniel started to whimper and I knew something was coming so I grabbed the bowl and held it under his face and prepared for the worst.

Well, it was a big chunky one and it was not very pleasant. The whole family was there in the living room watching and after the deed was done, I said, “There’s the sub you ate.” Right away Anthony commented, “I’m getting hungry, I’m going to have the rest of my sub.” Then he ran off to the kitchen.
I just couldn’t believe my ears and looking at the bowl of mush I was holding made me laugh. What a crazy weekend.
