poly problem.


aiden's floor is done, with only 2 coats of polyurethane.  we quit at 2.  wanna know why??  because the winter is the worst time to mess with poly.  you can't ventilate your house and then your son ends up throwing up from the fumes. 

true story. 

he did round 1 on sunday night.  we had retreated for the day to the basement, but shortly after bedtime, aiden's tummy erupted.  we thought it was 'cause the kids had pizza and chocolate milk for lunch.  i mean, really...that makes me wanna throw up!

i re-coated the floor yesterday morning and he threw up again in the afternoon.  that's when i knew exactly what the cause was for his sickness.  i also was starting to have issues with it.  then round 3 hit at 4 this morning.  that's also about the time we decided to not have the kids continue to share rooms.  we were going to let them share and make his room a play room.  i had everything reconfigured; decor, furniture arrangements, etc.  then he started yelling for us at 4am. his poor sister was woken up, as well.  today it's 36 degrees out, all the windows are open, heater is on.  oh, well.  you do what you can to keep them from getting sick, right?
