Oh, The Things That End Up In The Bed

by Leslie

Last night, it was puke. Puke in the bed. Courtesy of a sick Julia.

More than a few nights before that, I had a different bedtime suprise.

I had been sleeping soundly until I rolled onto my side and felt that my hip was wet. I thought, “Man, I must really be be sweating.”

As I began to wake up, I realized that it wasn’t just my hip that was wet, so was the bed. And my underwear.

That was when I freaked out.

I jumped up, felt myself all over and began to scream, “Oh no! Oh no! My water broke! My water broke! It’s too early! Oh no! We’ve got to get to the hospital!”

Then, Julia tugged on my nightgown and said sleepily, “Sorry I peed the bed, Mommy.”

It was her first nighttime accident.

I have never been so relieved. I shouted, with glee, and maybe even burst into song about how Julia peed the bed. It was much like the reaction Evelyn had in Fried Green Tomatoes when she learned that Mrs. Otis had died rather than Mrs. Threadgood. (And if you’ve never seen that movie, well, then you know what you need to do this weekend: watch Fried Green Tomatoes.)

Thankfully, Julia is feeling better, so I’m hoping for a night of slumber without the kind of interrutptions that require a sheet change and/or a shower at 3 a.m.

I’m glad you’re feeling better and that Julia peed the bed instead of your water breaking. Who would think that you would be happy about a night time accident.. lol Hope Julia continues to improve and that you have sweet dreams.
