We have had a nasty vomiting bug hit the Seven Cherubs house. It has been living here all week.
To keep myself sane I have been doing a lot of singing.
Crazy, delirious sleep deprived singing.
It kind of goes like this:
Wilson Phillips {Hold on} : I know that there is tummy pain, but Naomi hold on for one more day and break free from the spew buckets, Yeah, I know this is painful but hold on for one more day, and vomit free days will come your way.
Sir Mix A Lot {Baby Got Back}: I like small chunks and I cannot lie, you other mother's can't deny, that when a child throws up with a small chunk spew it totally makes your day!
Cee Lo Green {Forget you}: I see you sitting around with your bucket and I know you will spew and I'm like forget you, clean your own bucket because I don't want to spew, forget you.
Mariah Carey {Always be my baby}: You'll always be important to me, I love you indefinitely, boy please don't throw up on me, Ooh darling cause you'll make my washing pile crazy, and this sickness will linger on.
Adam Martin {Lonely Boy}: Oh, oh-oh I got sick kids that keep on spewing, Oh, oh-oh I got a washing pile that keeps on growing, I'm a washing Mum, I'm a washing Mum, Oh, oh-oh I got a sick kids that keeps on spewing!
Foster the People {Pumped up kicks}: All of my kids with the spewed up chunks, you'd better run, better run, straight to the toilet, All of my kids with the spewed up chunks, You'd better run, better run, faster than a bullet.
Cupid {Cupid Shuffle}: To the bucket, to the bucket, to the bucket, to the bucket. To the toilet, to the toilet, to the toilet, to the toilet. Now puke, now puke, now puke, now puke. Now clean out your bucket, now do it by yourself!
As you can tell I am not myself. I think I need some serious help!
Thanks for reading this far. Really.
I am going back to singing as I have four kids home today.
I usually don't comment but this is one of the most hilarious blog posts I've ever read in my life! Thanks for making my day, i'm going to come back to this when the stomach bug comes to our house (as it eventually will!). And I'll have something fun to sing to help the days pass by. Ha ha ha, you are soooo funny and such a good mom.
ReplyDeleteHilarious Naomi! Hope everyone feels better soon. Xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Naomi, I've been reading your blog for a little while now and always feel inspired when I come here. Thanks for making me laugh today, I thought I was having a crap day with my newborn number 4 baby but this put things into perspective! Vomiting bugs are my worst nightmare! Hope you're all better soon!
ReplyDeleteLOL - very well done.
ReplyDeleteVomitty kids are the WORST. And you have half a tribe out with it. Hope the kids start to feel better soon, and hope you don't come down with it!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, it will get better! lol. With 7 of my own spew bugs are my worst nightmare! Especially when my 3 year old tries to run away from himself (and the horrible feeling just before vomiting) thus spewing over everything he comes in contact with! I too have been known to 'sing'due to delirious lack of sleep during the 'spewing season'. Hope they are all feeling better very soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me laugh. I read it to my husband and he gave a little chuckle. I hope the kids get better soon.
ReplyDeleteI had a vomit booy home today as well, thanks for the laugh!

BAHAHA! Sorry, bit late. Catching up on the last month or so in my reader. Oh this is so funny. I do the exact same thing, changing the lyrics of songs all the time, particularly when the going gets tough. And no going is tougher than when there is a spew bug around! I hope the singing helped!
