I have a similar one that I will be wearing to the pool this summer. My husband has not stopped teasing me about it, either. Well, years from now, when he's a wrinkled prune and I'm still looking like I'm 29, we'll see who's laughing. :) For the record, I think your hat looks great.

He ran to the bathroom and proceeded to vomit into the sink. Instead of letting him, oh no! Lord have mercy, I told him, "NO! NO! THE TOILET!" so dutifully he moved to the toilet - 4 feet away, while vomiting... I learned an important lesson. If it's going into a container, no matter what it is, if it's NOT on the floor, counter top or ME, just SHUT UP and let 'er rip! Nothin' says lovin' like cleaning up a 4 foot trail of, well, you know.... When my husband and I were fairly new into our marriage and we had one young daughter, said husband got stomach flu.

My 4 year old son had consumed a glass of chocolate milk and suddenly became ill and game me a Mother's Day gift we will all remember. I was puked on right in the middle of Applebee's and I was wearing a new dress. The dress was soaked! I never wore the dress again. Oh well....at least we make memories!

Although, I do count this as my "This is when I knew I was truly a mother" moment. Thanks for the blog, it often brightens my day! And helps me realize I'm not the only strange mom who overpacks and catches puke, among other things.

I do not look forward to that one day. Bless your heart, what a Mother's Day weekend. I'm glad she bounced back though and the day wasn't a total wash. I LOVE the hat. I think it looks very chic. I never got a chance to watch Sex & the City, but it reminds me of something chic one of those girls would wear (from seeing the commercials). Oh Lord, projectile vomiting.

So, in all of your over-packing did you pack an extra bathing suit? The things we do as mothers... we should really have a whole month to celebrate us! Oh I never laughed so hard.

The hand-catch method hasn't worked for me, but it did actually half-work for my husband once. Bigger hands, I guess. Enjoyed your post! Been there too!

Why did I think that there were only chlorine pools? And yes, I have been puked upon. Tis way gross. It happened in the winter. I had many layers on (we live in NE Ohio.) I told my husband that she had to be done when I had no more layers to shed. I didn’t realize that there were salt water pools. Why did I think that there were only chlorine pools?
