the good, the bad and the ugly

in chronological order:

bad: alix is moody yesterday after the pick-up from daycare and doesn't want to eat at the dinner table. then she throws up her lunch and afternoon snack on herself, her placemat, the table and the floor. the stomach flu has been going around the daycare center this week so i change into sweats and prepare myself for a long night ahead.

ugly (or good or pretty frickin' hilarious, depending on how you look at it): pearl (our dog) 'cleans up' (if you know what i mean) the barf from the floor and alix's booster seat.

good: alix sleeps through the night without getting sick again, eats breakfast with gusto (water and cheerios-we're not taking any chances), AND keeps it all down at which point brian and i decide that she is well enough to go to school.
