I thought I was past this...

[Guest Steelharp]

Here it is, 3 am. Our 4 yr old granddaughter wanted to come spend the night. Sure. She wants to sleep with us. Sure. She wakes up about 1:30, sits bolt upright... I see it starting to come out of her mouth, looking similar to the exhaust jet at liftoff of the old Saturn V moon rocket. I turn and duck, but to no avail; square in the back of the head she gets me. My wife wakes up, I hear "GRAB THE TRA--" Forget it. Wave two, all the way through to the TempurPedic layer. I lift the dripping child out of the bed, she's screaming that she's dirty... wife takes her in the bathroom for a cleaning, I'm tearing things from the bed, heading to the washer.

I have nowhere to sleep at the moment, so... here I am.

How's y'all's night?

[Guest dotsun]

It was quite peaceful, thanks for asking.

I have a three year old girl. I know exactly what you are going through.

[Guest Steelharp]

My youngest is 14; that's why I really thought I wouldn't be messing with this again... ah, grandchildren...

I slept like a baby, woke up crying every three hours.

[Guest Halfpint]

Woke up an hour ago, but slept fitfully as I usually do.

I probably wake up more than a newborn . . . which in five years or so will be convenient in its own way.

Slept like a rock...thank you for asking!

LOL .... gotta love kids. I had the same thing happen this past New Years. The wife and I took the kids to visit some friends in Indiana so they could play in the snow. My 11 year old son was sharing a bed with me at our friends house. One night he sat bolt upright in the bed and started spewing! After it was all over I asked him what was wrong. He said he thought he was dreaming he was on a boat and got sea sick.

Worked all night, heard you and the grand kid fussing all the way down in Lebanon! Don't you know people are trying to work!

I feel your pain.

my youngest lost it in the hall... I waited just a second... he said he

felt better, I told him I'd carry him to the bathroom (9 feet away)...

picked him up iunder the arms and he starts spewing again! No sooner

did I have him 2 inches off the ground. Good grief it shot everywhere!

I'd never seen anything like it. 4 foot spray... like he had a hose.

It was everywhere... me... him.. carpet... couch... walls... the horror.

(It was just me and him BTW.) Needless to say after we made it to the bathroom

he was fine. Felt great.

You wonder how you'll react when the PHF. (Puke hits the fan) You hope

you'll handle it, stnde tall... be brave... face it like a man. I fully expected

a lung to pop out at any minute. (His, not mine.) I had no idea the sheer

volume a kid can generate.

Sometimes at night... I wake up screaming... the horror... the horror.

you know you shouldnt let kids drink,even on new years

[Guest bulletproof]

One night when my oldest daughter was sleeping with us, she sat up, turned in my direction and nailed me in the chest with projectile vomited, half digested pinto beans. I have never forgotten the odor and I haven't eaten pinto beans since then.

[shaftbass]

Well at least I slept good last night.

Well .... at least he didn't drive.

About that time last night my 2.5 week old was grunting and groaning loudly because he had gas. He had been doing it since around 10:00pm non-stop. My 3.5 year old crawled into bed with me while my wife tried to rock the baby to sleep and proceeded to toss and kick violently until he finally fell asleep again. I took the older kid back to his bed, dosed the baby with gas medicine and finally got to sleep around 4:00am. Woke up at 6:30 to go to work. It's been a challenge to keep from nodding out at my desk today. Even after 2 cups of coffee and a 32 oz cup of iced tea. I need to pop down to Starbucks and get a quadruple shot Marble Mocha Macchiato. Yep. I feel your pain. ^2.
