Vomit-ville

Last week it was nothing but vomit in our household. It started last Monday night when I stopped at Von's to pick up a few ingredients for a Halloween treat I needed to make for a work potluck.

Penny and I made it to the baking isle when all of the sudden she threw up all over my shirt, then she threw up again and again to the point where both she and I were soaked.

Surprisingly, I remained calm. But after I found myself with a crying wet baby who was soaking in vomit I began to assess what I needed to do next. I looked up and began to search for help.

Three Von's employees passed me offering no help what so ever. There I was covered in spit up, standing in a puddle of vomit with a crying, upset baby and no one stopped to help. Even the people in line at check out we're snickering at my situation. I couldn't believe the inhumanity at the store. People were actually laughing at me. I finally had to stop an employee who went and got me a paper bag. After handing me the bag she had the full to ask me if I was going to continue shopping. Ummmm I was covered in vomit, how could she think I could finish my shopping?

I removed all of penny's clothes and my sweater and went home to care for my baby. Stunned, I still couldn't believe no one at Von's came to help me. I guess they won't be surprised that I will never ever patronize their store again.

I ended up keeping Penny home the next day. Then on Halloween I went to work and ate potluck. At 5pm that day I felt sick. I barely made it home before violently vomiting for the next 5 hours. I thought I was gonna die. I thought I had food poisoning. It was until 2 days later when hubby got sick did I realize a bug had passed through our house.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
