Everyone:

Yesterday started as one of the greatest days ever. Seriously. But, the "greatness" lasted all of 5 minutes before it degraded into one of the least productive and grossest mornings of my life. After waking up, I heard my daughter call for my wife and I, and it sounded as though she were choking. I, being super-dad, ran to see what was the matter. She was laying on her back, asking to be picked up, and coughing a deep, but dry cough. I picked her up, and then all hell broke loose. She buried her head in the area between my neck and armpit and started vomiting. Oh my goodness, what a smell. Luckily, my chest hair doubles as a mop/towel and absorbed the majority of the puke. I caught the rest with arms, and held it there as I ran her to the bathroom to help her finish throwing up. From there, my wife came in and consoled my daughter while I changed the bedding and sprayed more Lysol in her room than any 10'x10' room should ever experience. After that, I toweled off, helped my wife and daughter get situated on the couch down-stairs, and went about my normal morning routine. About 5:15, as I was getting ready to exercise, my wife called me. She asked if I would sit with my daughter while she got some sleep. I was more than happy to do that, and upon me sitting down, my daughter laid her head on my chest and fell asleep. At 6:14AM I called my wife and asked her to get up so I could get ready for school. Upon my daughter hearing the sound of her mother's phone, she woke up from her slumber yelled something I couldn't really understand, but I believe was related to getting the phone for mom, and as I reached for her and pulled her back to me, she did it again. She let loose a violent burst of vomit that smelled of meatballs, macaroni and cheese, and yogurt. Once again, I took the brunt of it. After that, I scrubbed off 4 layers of skin in the shower and went to school... All I could think about all day, though, was how much I wanted to be home with my sweet baby girl.

She's still sick, but feeling a little better. She didn't puke on mom at all, luckily. 

This is what you do when you want to protect your carpet from puke... that's right, cover it with painters plastic during the time of sickness. (Check out the creepy eyes in the dark. Any guesses what it is?)
