2008 Blow Out..Welcome 2009
To say my last night in 2008 was a BLOW OUT would be an understatement & I don't mean BLOW OUT in a nice way...
Yes we headed over to our American Friends home... in hopes of what would become an annual tradition... New Years at their home & a brunch on New years morning with the 2 families....
Leanna made all of the yummy dinner, & I had prepared the brunch for the following morning...
The night went along well as we rang in 2009.... We ate/drank.. & were merry as we lit fireworks with the children....
Not long after midnight I felt a sudden URGE to run to the bathroom... Nice... too much CAVA (Spanish wine) from Leanna's friendly neighbor? I wasn't sure... but decided to call it a night
I crawled into bed in their guest room without even saying goodnight to anyone, only to be awaken by Bjørn... telling me Eva had just thrown up all over herself... & me... (she had crawled into bed with me & gotten sick...) NICER....
we got the mess cleaned up & managed to get a few hours of sleep....
I awoke a few hours later & tried to hold a friendly conversation with our hostess...when suddenly i needed to excuse myself again.. I KNEW this had nothing to do with any Spanish wine.. I was seriously SICK....
So as I am hiding out in the basement trying to figure out how the hell Bjørn was going to get me home before I yaked all over the rest of my friends house... they were waiting BRUNCH on me...
I made a mad dash to the car while Bjørn scooped the protesting kids into the car, all the while PRAYING I wasn't going to puke in their driveway as well.... The kids of course, were pissed at me... for ruining their morning play date & breakfast... ( I DOUBT we will be invited back next year as they spent their entire day disinfecting their home from my family's FUNKINESS...SORRY)
We manage to finally make it home after pulling over 3 times, only to have Dane puke all over our driveway... What a way to kick off 2009...
First Eva , then me, then Dane & finally Bjørn... the entire family in one go... Today was the first day we have been up & out & bleaching the house to try to clean out all of the yuckiness...
On the bright side, we ought to have most winter illnesses out of the way....
I am happy to say goodbye to 2008... I learned to count my blessings this year... as a family we endured our fair share of stressful moments.. Bjørns accident /Eva's illness but we pulled through it all & I hope became a little stronger as a family this year.
Here's to everyone having a happy, peaceful wonderful 2009.... (I am thinking positive people....)
(Sorry about the long puke post, seems that is the only thing that has been going on over the past few days.... )

Happy new year! Let's hope 2009 is good to all of us!!
Have a great weekend!
I am happy to hear all is well and bleachy smelly now.
If your friends don't realize you had no control over this situation and hold it over your heads, they are not worth it!
Happy New Year to you!!
well, of course, we were in a bathroom in the middle of Denmark, but I can definitely say we are your empathetic friends on this one....
ugh.
I am glad we are all on the road to health again. And maybe you are right.... this is it for winter !
I don't remember the last time I threw up. And I don't think I want to...
Here's to feeling better in the new year!
Happy 2009!
Glad everyone is better now.
Happy New Year!
Spanish wine sounds yummy.
I am so glad that you and your family are feeling better! All the best for 2009!
Here's to wishing you a happy, prosperous and HEALTHY New Year!
Hope you're all feeling better.
Hopefully your friend's will understand.
And you owe us like, a gallon of bleach!
Just kidding. We still love you and will gladly have you here next New Year's for more Cava. Btw, Xander got sick on friday. We'll see who's next...

So was anyone brave enough to eat the food the sick lady prepared?
Hope it was over in a flash. How awful!
