stomach bugs

Why is it that the stomach bugs always seem to hit in the middle of the night? About 3 o'clock this morning I was awaken by the sounds of someone throwing up. It was Zack. He had eaten a bunch of hot Cheetos yesterday so the carpet in his doorway is now PINK! Because I gag easy Jim is the puke guy, so he helped Zack into the bathroom and cleaned everything up. Just when he was done with that....Jade threw up! He helped her and got Jade and Zack both settled in the front room. He then went into the bathroom and threw up!!! It's hard to sit around while someone is throwing up but at the same time you can't always do something to help them. With kids you can clean them up and help soothe them but that just feels weird to do with a 37 year old man. I also, as I said, gag easy not with sights but with smells. Jim walked by with the trash can someone had thrown up in and I gagged. Not exactly "Mom of the Year" material. Oh well. That's why God gives us spouses, to balance us out and to make up for where we are lacking! Jim and I compliment each other in most areas. There are a couple of areas where we are too much alike and that can get us into trouble at times. But mostly we compliment each other.
