Friday; I had to make 24 cupcakes for the school "Monster Mash" Family dance. Tory got off work a little early and got packed up for the scout camp out he was leaving for at 5:00. He watched the kids after school because I volunteered to help decorate the gym for the party. Then when I got home he left. That evening at 6:30 we were all dressed in our costumes: Me- Jessie from Toy Story, Camrey- Tinker Bell, Chase - a fire man, Tyler- Mario. We went to the school and had lots of fun. When I got home at 8:15 I realized we lost a tinker bell slipper, so I got p.j's on the kids and went back to he school... lucky me we found it! So Camrey got to bed at 9:00 instead of the usual 7:30, and the boys in bed at 9:45 instead of 7:45! Camrey woke up at 4:30 starving because she didn't eat her dinner and the boys were up "dark and early" at 6:45! (You put them to bed 2 hours later and they still wake up before the crack of dawn!)
Tyler got the flu bug around 2:00 Saturday just about a half hour before Tory got home. He was throwing up about ever 15 min. I didn't even have time to eat a bowl of cereal before I was running to catch the next wave. So Sat night I slept on our old queen mattress (p.s.... if I haven't mentioned it, we finally got a new mattress for our bed a week ago!) in the living room with Tyler. Lucky for me he was done throwing up by 8:00, Not so lucky... at 4:00 a.m. I started throwing up, then an hour later so did Chase!
So for the next 2 hours I took care of Chase while I my self continued to be sick. Finally at 7:00 I was out of energy and Tory had to take over!
I am so grateful for my husband!!! He totally stepped up and took care of everything. I was in bed literally all day Sunday. Thank goodness today I feel well enough to take care of my kids, (not entirely better, but good enough) and Tory is back to work. He got a flu shot this year, so hopefully he will be spared. And little Camrey had a short flu bug last Wed. or Thurs. so hopefully she won't get it again!
PS. Mc Donald's is by far the most painful thing I have ever thrown up!
With Tyler being sick I didn't get a chance to grocery shop and we were
out of food, and I was starving. So I asked Tory to run to Mc D's and
get me a burger... Had I known what was to come I never would have asked!
