Teaspoons and Egg-Timers

I'm home sick today. Actually, the girls both continued their barf-fest overnight and I am taking a sick day to care for them. I called the triage nurse and she gave me a recipe for getting them hydrated ever-so-slowly and introducing food ever-so-bland. It entails water, measured by the teaspoonful [2-3 max], administered every five minutes [timed, so I don't have to keep track of it] for 8 hours. Feeling like a duck in a shooting gallery, I'm watering, washing, timing, cleaning, back-and-forth, back-and-forth, all day long.
