My husband used to wake me up when he came home from work in the middle of the night to tell me he was home...ummm, HELLO! I'm sleeping here! He soon learned if he valued he life not to wake me unless it was a life or death situation. I sent my sister a link and her reply was "you mean you didn't write this." I hope it's all right if I put a link on my blog...hopefully we can get more people to pee their pants, spit up whatever their eating/drinking etc. If it's not ok, just let me know and I'll remove it.Gary and Shelice Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04768549934741913931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748034823145399984.post-32789312896899247382008-07-01T02:57:05.620-04:002008-07-01T02:57:05.620-04:00Trying. to. catch. my. breath.---laughing. too. hard......<BR/><BR/>Don't forget that in addition to catching puke, poop, and snot--you will also be repeatedly bit and peed on too! :) Ahh...motherhood!<BR/><BR/>And what's this about you being in the army with a weapon?

I'm up on average every morning anywhere between 5-6 am, so my alarm clock is called "Gabriel".

I am also unable to get up in the morning. Chronically, habitually, miserably unable to get up on time. I NEVER sleep better than I am right when that blasted clock goes off. This morning, I was so rebellious I slept right through it for the first half an hour. I was 20 mins late to work.

I am so glad to know that I am not the only goddess of snoozing (if you weren't meant to snooze, then WTF does an alarm clock have one??). Every single morning I hope for those almighty 5 more minutes. . .<BR/><BR/>Puke has been projectiled on me. I have been bled on by my daughter's chin. But I must say, I have managed to escape getting pooped on. I know I'm a parent - but that kinda freaks me out. I mean I used to throw away Allie's outfits when she was a baby if she had huge blowouts as I knew there was no way I could manage to bag them without getting poop something and there was no way that a washing machine could save them. ..Mommy Merylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07515639857250083715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748034823145399984.post-67452684334810203952008-06-26T18:31:05.862-04:002008-06-26T18:31:05.862-04:00Cap'n, you ARE saucy! Great post!<BR/>I don't think I signed the waiver at the hospital to catch my daughter's poop, so maybe I'll check out the return policy for the little bugger. For some reason I won't wake up to my child's cries, but hearing the cats vomit (on the computer keyboard, no less) wakes me instantly!Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231189382322458961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748034823145399984.post-77339409722748880812008-06-26T18:28:50.850-04:002008-06-26T18:28:50.850-04:00SO funny and true!!<BR/>My DH is very hard to wake, so I 'm always the first one to take care of sick kids in the middle of the night.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03899065934620506700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748034823145399984.post-45009364912171899032008-06-26T18:04:01.739-04:002008-06-26T18:04:01.739-04:00Oh yeah, it is utterly amazing how there is some perverse maternal instinct that has us reaching for the rapidly spewing bodily emissions. :P<BR/><BR/>I try to avoid the uncomfortably-full-early-morning-bladder issue whenever possible, myself, but then again, I'm usually up before 6am.

Although rather than having the instinctive "throw up catch" down I tend to automatically dodge it. Does this make me a bad mom? You'd think it'd make me a cleaner one, but somehow I still manage to get thrown up on almost every time.

My oldest had been up puking all night and the first round landed in his bed. I had thrown all the sheets and blankets into the washer and when the cycle was finished, i opened the lid to find bits and chunks of freshly laundered hot dog all over the wash tub. Without a second thought, i reached in and picked them out one by one, and kissed my former prissy self goodbye.Cara Starrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15146799347212623126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748034823145399984.post-22063547162350535912008-06-26T16:30:27.786-04:002008-06-26T16:30:27.786-04:00Why is it that our first reaction is to catch it in our hands?
