Lofty Goals

It’s 9:12 a.m. and I have already loaded the kids in the
car, driven half the way to school, watched my son vomit twice all over himself
and the car seat, turned the car around, unloaded the kids, cleaned up a
massive amount of vomit and put the car seat covers in the wash. It’s been an eventful
day. I’m hoping that this vomiting episode is
just a short-lived stomach bug and that my son’s throwing up episodes are over. I’d prefer to spend the rest of my day
completely vomit free. We’ll see what
happens.

On a much more positive note, my daughter has been pacifier
free for 24 hours with hardly a complaint. She asked for it at naptime and at bedtime yesterday but passively
accepted my refusal to give in to her request. This may be a surprisingly painless process. I have two goals for today:

• Keep my daughter’s pacifier out of her mouth and her sight.



• Keep myself, my son and my daughter vomit free.

Wish me luck.
