Tessa's improving...phew

Well, we all slept in this morning after our two hours awake in the middle of the night, and we seem to all be doing okay. Tessa hasn't thrown up again, and woke up in pretty good spirits. We made a trip to Costco for some basic supplies and a hand-held carpet cleaner (which they didn't have in stock, only online) and then followed up with a trip to Target for the same thing for $5 more (well worth it to get the barfy smell out of the carpet - Resolve and a scrubbrush just wasn't doing it). We came home, had lunch, cleaned the carpet...and now we'll wait to see if it has done its magic (while wet, it looks great, but it's DRY that we care about it).

We are also on our third (?) load of laundry - sheets from both of our beds (since Tessa came into our bed after the incident and, in retrospect, we hadn't gotten it all out of her hair...yuck), including Tessa's comforter and bedskirt and pillow sham... and then all the PJs, rags....let's just say that it's a lot of laundry.

This is NOT how we'd planned on spending our day. While at Costco we bought Tessa a video (Clifford) and I think that tonight we'll have a very mellow movie night - something we never do as a family, as Tessa usually gets about a half hour of TV or videos per week, but I think that today calls out for an exception. I doubt her brain will atrophy from one night in front of the TV, and that's what I'm counting on! :-)

I'm wishing I had more exciting news, but lack of barf is pretty exciting to us in this household today. Yikes.

I hope that today finds you better!
