The lameness

You'll be glad to know that all barfing subsided on Sunday. But due to the Night of Misery and the subsequent Early Morning Exhaustion, we didn't go to church, we didn't visit Phillip's mom and we didn't go to the big first birthday bash at Gymboree, which I was totally looking forward to because 1) we are too cheap to go to Gymboree on our own and 2) it was a KOREAN first birthday bash and have you been to one of those? IT'S A PARTAY.

Also, even though I was keeping my banana and Gatorade down, I still felt like crap. I sort of forget the whole 'recovery' part of things. I spent half of my day in bed, which, while undoubtedly an improvement over an entire day in bed, was still lame. And I was so very very tired. It's sort of disturbing when moving your child from his crib to the changing table leaves you gasping for breath.

But! Today is looking up up up. Oh, except for the part where Phillip thinks he is sick (though, has he barfed yet? No!) and is lying in bed with his girlfriend, MacBook Pro, and staying home from work. Will keep you posted on the barfing for I KNOW YOU WANT TO KNOW.

I really want to write about sleep, but the Voice of Reason in my head is telling me I should wait until I'm confident The Plague has left the building. It's entirely possible that the huge drastic annoying increase in whining and not sleeping is due to The Plague or the general chaos here in Camp Cheung, so we'll wait and see...

In the meantime, can I complain about The Children's Place? Remember I ordered 100 things for $5 (or something like that) and I was SO EXCITED and YAY ME and everything? Well, first I got an email that said my credit card was not authorized to make the purchase. Which, WHATEVER, Children's Place! So I redid my whole order (with the same card) and got a very nice confirmation email. Excellent. But this morning I get an email with an apology for the craptastic performance of their website and also OOPS, we can't fulfill your order, here's a free shipping code, better luck next time! Except, the email isn't even that clear. I had to read it three or four times to figure out if they really did cancel my order or if it was just going to take a lot longer to get here. And you know what? I'm STILL not sure. Yeah, I understand it was a super good sale (it got ME to whip out my wallet!) and there were a lot of cheap stay-at-home moms deluging the site that day, but COME ON. I am of the opinion that this is UTTER LAMENESS and I REALLY WANTED THAT PINK COAT.

I suppose I could go to the ACTUAL Children's Place and buy things that actually EXIST. Harrumph.

I was just going to say something about obnoxious about the lack of barfing, but my husband is curled up in a little ball in bed and looks way too helpless for me to be MEAN on my WEBSITE. Someone should go buy him some Gatorade, huh?

Going to the shop to buy actual clothes is highly overrated. I hope you get your online ordering straightened out!

Let's just hope he doesn't puke on his girlfriend! Seriously.

Also, what good would the actual Children's Place be with your free shipping code? Maybe you could have them mail you your purchases so you don't have to haul them out to your car.

Oh Maggie! Sorry for all the ickiness! I hope your big baby gets better soon: Gatorade cures all!!
