Have you ever had one of those day's where you just can't get on top of the pile of things that need done? Well, lets just say parenting 2 toddlers at the same time is always a challenge. But, when they get sick, Its 100% harder. 

Leah (my 3 year old) decided to catch a one day bug. Complete with fever, chills, the craps, puking and of course you cannot forget the all day screaming.  

I laid her down for a nap and thinking I could get a nice nap in myself went and laid down.  After only a 1/2 hour or so I heard coughing. Problem was??? This didn't sound like normal coughing. I ran in to check on her and find her throwing up everywhere.  

I mean come on, puking toddler is every moms worst nightmare. Right? Yeah, So I thought. However, I was quickly proven wrong. 

I put her in the bath and got her all cleaned up and let her sit in the bath to let the fever go down. 

God, decided to teach me a lesson about leaving a toddler in the bathtub when she is sick.  She took a massive dump right in the bath water.  And it happened so fast that there was absolutely no way I could have gotten her to the toilet in time. 

So, not only did I have to dig the 3 year old out of crap filled bath water, I also had to stick my hand in the water to drain it. GAG!!!!!  I totally could NOT stick my hand in the water, The amount of germs going thru my head was just way too much. So, what did I do? I of course grabbed a tall glass candle jar that was sitting on the counter and used that to drain the water. And threw that away. 

Yes, My lesson has been learned. Never leave a sick child in the bath water when they have an upset tummy as well.  

Do yourself a favor. Learn from my lesson. 

However if you have already learned that lesson the hard way, Please share your story below. We would love to hear it.
