1st episode of airsickness

Sooo...Matt had his second flight today, boasting more advanced maneuvers and higher G's (5, as opposed to 2).  He threw up three times, twice in the same bag d/t a slight lack of foresight on his part (he is responsible for stocking his own barf bags for each flight).  The girls and I came home from a base housing Halloween shindig around 8pm to find him sprawled on the floor, moaning a bit, with puffy eyes.  The girls jumped on his belly a bit (he has extremely unusual/quasi-violent bonding rituals with them), which he said actually helped.

He did manage to muster enough energy to entertain his flight that evening with a large study/chitchat session at our house, collapsing, however, within about 15 minutes after they left...and pretty much ruining my attempt at watching "Grey's Anatomy" tonight as the study session was in the family room, and as he has also taken to sleeping there, in our oversized recliner--due to snoring/dry throat and GI issues that are severely exacerbated when he lies flat.  Normally I wouldn't mind, particularly as the kids wound down fairly quickly, even after realizing company was here, and still managed to go to bed nicely.  However, this has been a pretty crazy-busy week for me as well...and I was really looking to multitask holiday cream cheese on wheat ghost sandwiches with "Grey's", "The Office", and possibly champagne.

On a more fun note, these are the cute cream cheese ghosts!  My oldest is bringing these and carrot sticks in for her class snack tomorrow.  :o)
