That was my text Sunday night to Michele as were hosting a Super Bowl Twitter party called #FootballForWomen. Thanks to all who came and tweeted along!
But, it's just not a party until someone pukes. Well, technically it's still a party even if no one tosses their cookies, but poor Mags had a horrible stomach bug. We thought she was over the worst of it, until it started up again...all over her bed and Chris.
I gave Chris the choice of bed, night table, stuffed animal and carpet cleanup OR child cleanup. Since he and Mags had just bonded over puke on their shirts, he chose her. While I was feverishly scrubbing the carpet and stripping her bed, I could hear the game going on in the background. My mind wandered and the following chart was what came about in my thoughts. Enjoy!

Great job, Mel! This was perfect. Maybe there needs to be vomit in your house more often. You know, for inspiration.
