Mommio: Big Family Secrets

In the never-ending fight to get back to "normal" around here we have yet another roadblock...kids throwing up all over the place.  This is one of those things that happen in a big family that you never get to see on those tv shows and you can't really understand it unless you have experienced taking care of a large number of tandem heaving children.  When one vomits- especially in the middle of the night, you know that there is a LOT more to come.  There is never time to get to them all and the house smells horrible because every time you think you have the laundry under control another member of the house manages to throw up on five blankets, two pillows and seven stuffed animals (all at the same time).  I imagine it wouldn't make very good tv.
I think we large families need a special sick room for these occasions...tiled from floor to ceiling with all disposable blankets, pillows, etc. and built in buckets that suction all grossness somewhere far away immediately. And this is where the extra mom lives.  I bet those Duggar people have one.
