A Life SO Ordinary
Friday, Nov. 29, 2002
Tonight I was babysitting for a family at my church. The dad owns his own construction company and is loaded!
Well, anyway thats not the point of this entry. Usually the kids Zach, 14 months and MacKenzie, 6 are really well behaved and not spoiled.
Unlike the kids i usually babysit for during the week who get on my last nerve. At least Mac (MacKenzie) and Zach are sweet and cute kids.
Tonight i was watching them while their parents went to dinner and a movie. I thought it was gonna be an easy night, but I was so wrong!
The night was going good... Me and Mac decided to watch Benji in her room upstairs. We were in there for like an hour and we were having a good time, but Zach didnt want to be cooped up in there so i took him back downstairs to feed him and let him run around.
I gave him his pizza and set him in the high chair. I rolled him right next to the couch and then a few seconds later he gushed out vomit...
I cleaned him up and washed him off and layed him down for the night thinking he just "spit up" or something...
He was screaming and crying so I went upstairs and got him and let him hang with me and Mac while we ate our pizza in the living room.
I had just sat down and stood Zach next to me. I started eating and I turned away to look at the TV and then all of a sudden I felt warm, gushy stuff run down my pants leg.
He threw up on me...
Now normally i dont mind throw up... I'm not a queasy kinda gal and i dont get grossed out all that easy either. But this was abso-fucking-lutely disgusting! Excuse the cursing, but i thought i was gonna lose it there.
I walked over to the kitchen and called their parents and told them what was up. They said they'd be home in 20-30 minutes and dont worry about the carpet. Meanwhile Im walking around with puke on my leg and I immediately start thinking on how to deal with this.
I tell Mac not to pick up, touch, or look at Zach funny while I go wash off my pants in the bathroom in the front hall.
I get out of there and throw my pants in the dryer. I'm walking around the house in my undies waiting for my pants to dry up a little when i think that Zach is gonna hurl again. I grab him and hold him over the sink, but its a no show.
As soon as I set him down I hear them shut the car doors... I haul ass to the laundry room and by chance, shut the door a little bit before i go in and open the dryer. As Im opening the dryer Ed (the dad) walks in and Mac is like "NO Daddy Wait there!" (did i mention that Mac is the sweetest lil' kid?). I was so close to Ed seeing me in my undies... I was mortified!
I get my pants on and walk outta the laundry room right when Renee (mom) comes in the door. We talk a few minutes and they say they are sorry about Zach puking on me (so am I).
They offer me some sweats and I take them 'cause my pants are still wet and its freezing outside. They pay me well so all in all it wasnt too bad getting thrown up on. Although Ed almost seeing me in my underwear would have been embarrassing to no end, but god smiled on me this time and I would just like to let him know i owe him BIG.
