A good laugh!

So, I am avoiding a few things on my to-do list this week (which means multiple trips to the chocolate chip bag already today-insert stomach ache here) and thought maybe a few laughs would get me through them. I know everyone of you has a funny mommy moment out there. I thought I would share mine and hopefully inspire you to share yours too....I could use it :)

Now I'm not the best at remembering every hilarious or jaw dropping thing my amazing child does but I do have one time that has been forever burned into my memory. My son was about 6 months old when I was home with him alone one day. He does not get sick very often, but on this very special day he made the dreaded throw up/gagging noise. I quickly picked him up, and held him in front of me with both hands to see if he was ok.

Then next thing I knew he was throwing up! I not only had his lovely, smelly vomit on the front of my shirt but it was also nicely placed all over my face! I wore glasses at the time and they were covered as well. I was frozen there for a minute as the possibilities of what to do next ran through my mommy brain mind. I did manage to run into the bathroom before I was forced to close my eyes completely. I under no circumstance was going to set him on the carpet, which I would have to then clean later! Do I set him on the floor or in the tub while I at least wipe my face so I can see (he is still a bit tipsy when sitting by himself so that was out)? Just stand there until help arrives so I dont have to clean anything (wishful thinking).  I opted to put him on my hip, completely covering my entire torso in puke so I could at least get a hand free to wipe us off.

Oh, it was quite a moment!  It is a good thing he is cute... :) I was definitely not laughing at the time, but I get a chuckle every time I think of it now!
