She's a Quick-Sick-Chick

Joely seems to have a habit of getting sick—as in "get-a-bucket-over-here-quick-or-I'm-spewing-on-the-couch" kind of sick—and then bouncing back minutes later like it never happened.

Like today, for instance.

As I wrote earlier, she woke up this morning—the day of her birthday party—feeling a little puny. She tried to eat a little toast for breakfast, moped around a little bit saying she still felt yucky, sat on the couch…and hurled. On the couch. And did I mention she managed to hit the ottoman as well?

But thirty minutes later, after a bath and a new, clean outfit to wear, she was wrestling with her brother! And she was fine the rest of the day. Why can't I bounce back like that when I'm sick?

Joely's funny this way, though. She rarely has a lingering illness (thank the Lord!), so when she's sick, she's only sick for a day or so—or as in this case a couple hours or so.

But I'm not complaining. I'm really not. I'm so very thankful that my kids are as healthy as they are.

I'm just saying it's a little strange is all. As Dr. Seuss would say (in Fox in Socks), Joely's just a little Quick-Sick-Chick.

    Does she have sinus problems…..my niece does that same stuff…..and after she pukes, she is fine. She has terrible sinuses….I'm sure it is drainage that makes her sick. Anyhow, it is quick fix for her…..lol. I just hope it doesn't turn into other stuff that teen girls think will keep them skinny…..know what I mean? I'm glad she is fine….is the birthday party back on?

    Saw the above comment and thought it interesting that her niece does this as well. One of my nieces is like this–it is the oddest thing how she can 'need the bucket', do her deal and then be fine…

    Hope she is feeling better!

    Blessings!
