Mommy training......

I always thought that God gave me Sally, our little girl dog, to get me ready for motherhood. I have always been a HUGE wimp when it comes to getting sick, a.k.a throwing up. I hate it....not that anyone likes it at all, but I will actually lay there for hours feeling horrible and nauseous, just to avoid having to get sick, and when I do eventually have to get sick, I cry the whole time. Even now, at almost thirty, I bawl like a big baby. So, Sally, I thought was my way to learn to get used to the whole thing, since babies do a lot of that. Sally has the world's weakest stomach. If she eats just the smallest bite of something other than her dog food, she gets an upset belly. I have spent many precious moments of the last 5 1/2 years cleaning up after a sick Sally. (The one that sticks out the most in my mind was the time she ate TWO whole sticks of butter I had sitting on the counter.....talk about gross!!!! ) Anyways, you would think that by now, I would be used to it. However, I still have to remind myself not to toss the poor child off of my lap, or run out of the room whenever she gets sick. Its horrible I know.....I am horrible! I have not, I promise, tossed her off of my lap yet. I just close my eyes tightly and hope that it is over soon. The reason that I am telling this story is because that is exactly what I have been dealing with lately. She is just starting some finger foods, so we have been choked a couple of times so far, and that is usually followed by her getting sick, wherever she is. Heck, she will even throw up if I put something in her mouth that she does not like. I thought for sure that my mommy training with Sally would help me through this stage, but I am still having some major issues with "barf"! I know....I know....it will only get worse as she gets older. I hope Tim is ready for all of that........
