If she could talk.

March 20, 2011

We believe we should all love where we live.

We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

She hardly ate a thing all day.  She was cranky.  We thought she needed a longer nap–it didn’t work.  Once Brandon, Stephanie, and Matt came over for dinner she perked up.  Running around.  Showing off all of her clothes–bringing them into the living room one at a time.  She danced around as Matt and Chris played the guitar and djembe.  She let Brandon chase her around and squealed as she tackled a blanket just as he was about to “get her” every time.  If she could talk, she would have probably said, “Mom, I don’t feel so good” as she walked toward me and chucked.  Out of her nose and mouth.  Right into my lap/plate/shirt/arm….she got some on her too.  It just kept coming.  Tears were coming out of her eyes.  Chris almost lost it, too.  I felt sad for my little girl–I guess that’s Mommyhood for ya.
Not sure why I’m smiling.
Don’t worry, she seems to be doing just fine now.  After I showered, she bathed and went straight to sleep.

    Poor baby! I feel so bad for her. Crazy how stuff like that doesnt gross you out when its coming from your own kid. Youre such a good mom. Look at you wearing that barf with a smile! ;-)

  2. Bonnie says:

    Yes, the joys of motherhood! Hope she’s feeling better!

    Sadness! You look so happy to have been thrown up on.

    Oh.
    My.
    Goodness.

    Some how (knock on wood), we’ve avoided that part of parenthood so far.

    Poor Greta!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, you know what though? Brinley did throw up in my hands on our road trip back to Florida after Christmas. It was a mix of crying too hard, tired, sick, and she gagged on moucus and threw up in my hands. It was eventful. It is funny how the mom genes kick in because I was not grossed out at all or I probably WOULD have gagged if it was someone elses kid. Those things just don’t matter as much when it’s your OWN kid and all you want is for them to feel better.

    Hope it was just a one time thing…feel better Greta!!!

    I feel so bad for her too. I hope she does feel better and it doesn’t happen again tomorrow. Thanks for dinner!

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
