Default Re: It's 12:13 a.m. (00:13 for you Europeans) and my kids are vomiting

Hm... Sick-Kid vomit I'm alright with on a general level...
It's that "Oh, I drank too much, oops" vomit that makes me hate the world.

Sometimes I consider not rolling them over.

But then I realize I can bribe them with the tales later and get things.

Probably because it derails my night... I usually feel like I have to play mom and help them (mostly only if it's someone any younger than me).

I get them starchy things and water, a little bit of something sugary (pop tarts work well), and lay them on their side and stay within ear-shot the rest of the night until I know they're okay.

Ugh.

I usually drink again the next night by myself while watching TV or something (glass of wine is nice) or with one or two people that're over.
