Well, I guess it was my turn to be sick today. I woke up with a stomach ache, and freezing cold. Will thought I was nuts when I asked him to turn off the A/C. I'm just glad that it didn't turn into what the kids all had last Sunday. Holy cow. Can we say PSYCHO!!
We went all the way through church last week and got to Sacrament Meeting. Sabrina told me after the opening song that her stomach hurt. I told her she would be ok, and to lean up against me and cuddle. She seemed ok with that answer, and did so. A few minutes later she turned around and said she needed to go to the bathroom. I told her ok, and she snuck out the side of the pews. All of a sudden I hear this vomit sound, and I turn around and there is Sabrina frantically trying to hold her hand over her mouth to keep it all in and from going onto the poor Missionary couple sitting there. I frantically dumped my purse out onto the pew, and raced to put my empty purse under her so she could finish throwing up in my purse as we tried to quickly go to the bathroom. While I was in the process of doing this, Vanessa had leaned forward and threw up into the pew ahead of us. She quickly got up and left to the bathroom with us. Will was obviously mortified, and came out a few minutes later, and got some paper towels. He kindly and quietly cleaned up all the vomit, and got rid of everything. I finally got them all cleaned up, and sat down to estimate all the damage, and try to get my contents that were in my purse into a plastic baggie. I then stood up, and it was apparently time for round two. After this next cleaning up, it was time to go home for sure.
All the kids stripped down, and got into their jammies. Isaac then started to complain as well, and the it was his turn. I on the other hand was getting more and more nervous that I would have to call in sick to my first day of a new job the next morning. I was praying that the kids would feel better soon. We all camped out in the front room each child with their own big round bowl next to their head, and their poor little tired bodies next to it. You could tell they were all so exhausted by all of this. I was tired just from trying to keep up with each of them. Will had to be to school early, and so I told him to just go to bed, and that I would take care of things downstairs. All through the night each one of then took turns into their bowls. Thank goodness around 4:30 in the morning they all stopped and fell asleep. I woke to the alarm I had set at 7:30 and got myself ready for the day. When I was done with my shower I came out to see two little super thirsty and super hungry girls ready to go for the day as if nothing happened. Isaac then woke up in the same hungry and thirsty mood, but feeling wonderful. I couldn't understand it, but was so very grateful they were better.
So apparently it was my turn to be really sick today, and everyone else was ok. It is now almost 11 pm and I'm starting to feel much better. SO it must be some little 24 hour flu bug. Thank goodness it is going away. I don't like the flu bug when it hits our home. So now with this holiday weekend almost over, we will try to get to the Zoo tomorrow, and do something fun with the kids.
A blog about my family, my life, my designs, about who I am. Mostly a blog about Second Chances and the wonderful things that come from that.

You might have caught something at the funeral. Because Lisa's boys had a 24 hour flu during the reunion, and Trent and Taitlin had a 24 hour flu the day after the reunion. You are lucky all three had it at the same time, so as not to spread it out. You win for the best sacrament meeting entertainment I've heard yet.
Oh, and what's this about a new job....? Do tell.
The one week that we weren't there, and we missed it! J/K. That must have been terrible. How in the world did you get up that early?
