Only at night!

Well this household has been hit with a stomach bug, at 11pm last night my little Rhiannon was up from her sleep and very fussy, she just wanted me, I knew that moment she was not well she was very pail in color and cried uncontrollably then came the OMG moment and yup it was everywhere.......all over my bed and her and the floor. as i yelled for Eric to come and help with puke duty (he was on the computer at that time), he cleaned the puke that hit the floor and I attended to the puke covered child, i tiny part of me celebrated when  noticed it was not in her hair, so a bath did not have to happen just a quick sponge bath, and lots of hand sanitizer after she was settled in a bed on the floor near my bed, i then went to start laundry that was all my bedding her PJ's and some towels and face cloths, I don't like the smell of puke laundry sitting and after a child pukes I will smell it until its washed, so at 1am that's what i was doing, at 2ish am she woke again to puke but this time i had my puke bucket ready to catch the flying mess, i think i did well because  did not have any puke anywhere but the bucket, 1 point for me, yay. lol and by the way the rule in this house is if i have to attend to the sick children and hubby gets to sleep, i get to wake him to empty the bucket and wash it out. lol. that's my reward for catching the puke in the bucket. :D
she did not sleep from 2-5:30am and he only thing that helped my poor baby was to rub her back and sit near her while she dry heaved.
As much as I wanted sleep, I felt my time was better spent soothing her, sleep will come later, i will live though the day and hope for a better night tonight.
My fingers are crossed that this is just 1 kid and not anyone else but if not than I guess puke duty will be my night time job for a bit..........IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT NIGHT!  I am not letting my guard down yet.

UPDATE: A few hours after posting this, Edina was at school when she started to feel unwell, she did not puke yet but she says she feels yuck in her tummy,she is home from school until she is better, hope tonight is not a repeat of last night, because this mommy NEEDS some sleep really bad.
here is to a restful night.........i hope.
