24 Hour Bug!

Our trip home from CT did not go as expected!  My plan was to give Noby lunch at my mom’s house then head out so maybe he would nap in the car.  Everything looked good as we were heading towards the Mass Pike.  I decided to make a quick pit stop at Starbucks to get something to keep me awake on the ride home.  As I pulled off the highway I heard Noby coughing, as I turned into Starbucks I turned around to see him puking ALL over himself.  It was gross, Sooo gross, and sad at the same time.  He didn’t know what to do, he just kept puking on himself.  Of course there was no parking spots in the small parking lot of Starbucks so I ended up having to pull out  and illegally stopping on the side of the road.

I pulled Noby out of the car, stripped him down to his pull up, and then attempted to clean the puke covered car seat.  Of course I didn’t have any napkins in the car, so I used almost an entire pack of baby wipes to attempt to clean it.  Thank goodness we were at my mom’s for a few days and had some pjs in the back to change him into.  I also found a blanket to clover the car seat until I could clean it for real.

Now as I said before we were parked illegally and as people left Starbucks you could tell they were pretty annoyed with me.  I got a lot of dirty looks, well until they figured out what I was doing, then they looked sympathetic.

Once we were ready to go, I pulled around into Starbucks to get my, now WELL needed coffee.  I ordered, pulled up and paid.  I got my change, my straw and pulled away.  I got back on the highway, turned to take a sip and realized that I FORGOT MY COFFEE!!!!!  UGH!  Now I debate, do I go back, do I just forget my $5 coffee?  If you know the highways in Springfield you know that it’s not just an easy on easy off to get back to Starbucks.  BUT I knew I needed that coffee!!

We made it home with no more problems.  However Noby did get sick twice more at the house.  Friday, Noby woke up feeling fine, like nothing happened at all.  I decided to keep him home from school anyway and we spent the day watching tv from the couch.
