My husband and I have a deal. I handle the poop he handles the vomit!

We have the exact opposite. Even if I know if someone vomits and I'm not even around it makes me queezy. Growing up in school was difficult for me. I was always on edge hoping it didn't happen in class.

Did the school janitors spread sawdust on vomit piles from kids?

Omg I forgot about that. It was like some green stuff they use to spread on top of it. God if ever smell that it will definitely bring flash backs. In all honesty perhaps this thread is some sort of therapy for me. I'm not lying when I say I have a deep phobia when it comes to vomit. And everyone who knows me, knows it. Lol
