can't stop

So I don't find it very fair that my brain tends to go really deep when it's late and I'm in bed and I'm trying to go to sleep. Nevertheless, that's where I find myself tonight. I should be dead tired and falling asleep quite easily.

Last night right after my wife went upstairs to go to bed, I was downstairs in the kitchen cleaning out the humidifier. She told me that she was feeling a bit under the weather and with running the heat I thought it would help a little to run the humidifier. So, as I was in the kitchen, a little 4 yr old (my oldest daughter) came peeking around the corner. She had already been in bed for a couple of hours so I asked her what she was doing up. "I need a drink of water." I told her ok but it was gonna be just a minute while I was finishing up what I was doing. That was fine by her so she sat down on the floor just at the entry of the kitchen. As I was finishing up, I heard a strange noise from her and looked over. She looked at me with a playful look on her face and I thought she was just making cute little noises with her mouth. I turned away to finish up and just a few seconds later she spewed. All over the floor. Well I overreacted like I usually do and said something like, "Oh wow! Oh man, wow! There it is!" to which my wife called down asking what happened. When I didn't answer she quickly came downstairs just in time to see her first born unload for a second time on the tile floor.

Throughout the night my oldest child threw up multiple times, keeping all three of us up most of the evening and early morning. We were scheduled to go out of town today and visit grandparents and great grandparents, but now that was out of the question. I have a strict "do not travel with vomiting children" policy. So we stayed at home and did nothing - it was great. Except that most of mine and my wife's attention was spent watching a close eye on my 4 yr old to make sure we heard not gurgling sounds and feeding her very bland and safe food.

We made it through the day and most took naps, well all took naps but I took the shortest at about 30 minutes. I don't really feel like I accomplished anything today, but I did spend some QT with the fam.
