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.
