Sick

These last few days have been horrible! Layla, Jack and I have all been sick. It started Monday with a dinner time trip to Costco where, after her hotdog dinner, Layla vomited in the nearest trash can...then again in the car on the way home, then again in her bed while I was cleaning up the car, and yet again in the brand new sheets had just put on her bed.  The rest of the night Layla was up dry heaving about every 45 minutes. Fun night! 

The next day, Jack woke up in the morning and from every nap with diarrhea all up his back, in his hair, and all over his sheets. So during the last 24 hours I had given at least 4 baths, changed sheets 5 times, cleaned up a smelly car, and started a massive pile of laundry.

Then last night, I got sick. Usually I am blessed to avoid whatever illness that sweeps through my family, but not this time. Last night I felt like I had been punched in the stomach and spent most of the night--with maybe just a hint of drama--writhing in pain. Today I felt a little better, but with no appetite I had a hard time keeping up with my kids--who magically felt better just as I got sick.  And so today was a movie day. I think the television was seriously on the entire day. I feel bad, but when the mom gets sick...what can you do? Right?
