Silvercrest79 – A little of This and That

Friday we had to go grocery shopping with all three kids like we normally do. It is such an unpleasant and slow task now that Becca likes to “walk”. About half way through I started to feel icky and I wanted to go home, when we finally got done it was about 8:30. On the way home I told Tim “I don’t feel good at all!”. By the time we got home I had the big “D”. I checked my email, put Kayden to bed, and went to bed myself knowing the worse was yet to come. Sure enough it did, about 11 something. I’ll spare you the details but lets just say it involved a bucket, the toilet, and trips into the bathroom every hour all night. I couldn’t even keep water down. Finally at 4am I asked Tim if he could go to Walgreens (thankfully only two blocks away) and get some Gatorade for me before he went to work. I have a tendency to get dehydrated quickly and then need I.V. fluids (which aren’t an option when you are one of the however many million American’s w/o health insurance). At 6am when I was sure he wasn’t going to go and get me any, he did. I drank a little and after that I only had to barf once.  

 As the day progressed I gradually felt better. I made it to my hair appointment (the one of two a year I get) and had my hair highlighted for the first time ever.

I’m only away now because I was awakened by Kayden yelling “MOMMY!!!! MOMMY!!! I barf!!!” from across the hall. After I gave her a shower and was rinsing her sheets off in the tub she said, “Smells like Daddy’s” (LMAO remember my post from a few days ago about Tim, the new van, and the 12 hr flu bug?), to which I replied, “Yes, that is what barf smells like”. After half hour plus of that funness I was wide awake and for some reason started thinking up new words to the Twelve Days of Christmas about a friend’s ex-girlfriend. That is how I got here… they were too funny not to write down so I decided to do it before I forgot.
