1. You must wait until Mom has just sat down before you need her to do something for you.
2. If Mom is eating, you must ask her to share it with you. It does not matter that it's one of the few things she can tolerate digesting....she'll be eating again in a half hour or so, in which case you can share again.
3. If Mom has just thrown up, you must take advantage of the opportunity to ask for something you really want. After all, there is only about a 15 minute window while she doesn't feel nauseous.
4. While Mom is laying down supposedly resting, you must not ask for anything.....unless you need a drink, a snack, to watch a movie, to play with a friend, help opening a door, help finding your shoes or jacket or socks, toilet paper in the bathroom, etc.
5. Hugs and kisses are still acceptable at anytime.

LOVE THIS!! :-) I should just make these my house rules too, that way I wont get so cranky or impatient - I will just have to change my attitude to praise and thanks that my kids are following the rules. :-) Hope you get feeling better soon...but I think you still have 5 months...or wait - maybe 2 1/2 years before it slows down again. :-)
HAHAHAHA, totally! I hope you get feeling better soon :)
Hmmm...sounds like the same rules apply at my house when the mom is trying to take a nap...like that's ever going to happen.
