3/19- Clara and I drive 10 hours to Pecos. Clara pukes in the car.
3/24- Clara gets stomach bug. I get no sleep that night.
3/25- We miss our flight to Albuquerque due to the puking.
3/26- We make the 7 hour trip to Albuquerque by car. Not knowing Clara had an ear infection. Get into doctor that night who prescribes medication.
Next ten days- Medicating a 2 year old who doesn't particularly want to be medicated.
3/28- Find out I'm pregnant.
3/31- Find out Chris lost his job. Book a flight for Chris to Albuquerque. Pick him up from airport after a 30 minute delay.
4/1- Make the 17 hour trip home in one day.
Next several days- apply for unemployment, sell boat, put in applications, update resume, up with Clara once every night, deal with severe sore throat and allergies for me, coughing and allergies for Clara, go to baby shower, help host another baby shower, try unsuccessfully to potty train for one day before wondering what the heck I was thinking, etc., etc.
4/5- Chris' grandmother falls and is hospitalized. Clara pukes out at the Quinn house because she ate far too many carrots and grapes.
4/14- Clara pukes in carseat.
4/15- Chris' great aunt, who raised his dad, has a rapid decline in health and hospice is called. Clara pukes all over herself, Daddy, the rocking chair and floor.
4/16- Clara pukes in the kitchen mostly in a dog dish (thanks to Mommy's lightening quick reflexes). Start spotting and realize something's not right.
4/17- Miscarry.
I really hope the next month doesn't hold quite so much excitement. Or puking. Not sure what's up with the puking.

I can only say "Amen" to what Linda said.
Nana in the north
I'd say "Holy Crap" but "Holy Puke" sounds a little more accurate. Bless you guys, We are keeping you in our prayers.
Let's declare April 21st, "Start over day". New fresh start. Ready? GO!
Becky, I like your idea. I'm declaring it "Start Over Day" here in Albuquerque. Also - thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog.
