we have had 3 people at work in the past week have the stomach flu.. the kind that leaves you weak, miserable and pukey and poopy for days. I will be really pissed if I get sick. I HATE throwing up.. I cry every time.
As I was getting dinner ready tonight.. and putting some canned pears on Kate's plate I suddenly remembered my mom would always have us drink pear juice after throwing up. She said it would coat our stomachs and it would help get the bad taste out of our mouth. Did anyone else's mom do that? I have heard of a couple other people saying their mom's did it too.. Every time I am sick I instantly want my mom to be there with me. Jim is wonderful and takes care of me too.. but there is something about your mom being there.. rubbing your back... holding you.. that makes you feel better.
I really don't want to get sick..

OH MY GOSH!!! We were just talking about this the other night when poor ol' Colleen was puking at The Reel. I totally thought I was the only baby who becomes incapasitated when I puke. I've only done it when I was 6 and 10, both times projectile madness. Now I totally can't function if I think I'm close, and just want my Mom there. I do a cold sweat thing and strip down and lay on the cool floor to try to calm myself down. My Mom didn't do pear juice...interesting. I love that you're the same way. Erica hates it too. Stay well, my friend. :)
Puking sucks. Tho I do have friends that do like it and prefer to do it to "feel better". That's crap. I have puked 5 times, three being because of alcohal. The other two times - not great. Never heard of the pear juice. My mom made me drink it "just because" it was good for you - yeah, all that sugar syrup - good one mom. She's the best! :)
