- Garbage bag, over the pillow, under the pillowcase.
- Mattress protectors: 10 bucks and half an hour of wrangling the thing on over the mattress, no scent of barf embedded in the mattress forever. Barf smell sucks.
- Cover the couch in towels, top with kid, keep a bucket handy.
- Lysol.
- Backup DVDs or a preschool cable channel is worth it when you're trapped in the house for 2 days.
- Have Sierra Mist, chicken soup, saltines and chocolate in the house at all times. (The chocolate is for me.)
- Buy a comforter that fits in your washer.
- Woolite Oxy Deep carpet cleaner works.
- When puked upon, remove clothing and get dressed again before trying to change her sheets. Half-asleep naked moms on Benadryl are not effective linen changers when shivering so hard we can't stand up.
- Be thankful you bought the mega-mini-van-jogging stroller so at least you can get out of the house for 20 minutes to walk the dog.
- Bake a cake to cover up the smell of puke. Eat the cake.
Sigh. She's recovered, thank goodness. And so far, no one else has caught it. Phew.
