Throwing up is not fun

12-19-11


Sick sucks.

Friday afternoon, I got a call from the school. Bobby had thrown up in his classroom. Such a shame, since it clearly came on suddenly. Ken and I had been at the school earlier, helping his class with making cookies. Poor kid.

Bobby was sick all night. Ken sent Dax and I out to go see the lights. We met up with Stephanie, Dave, Sabrina, Kam, Dylan and Taylor to see the lights. It was a fun evening with all the kids. After the lights, we went over and met up with Sean at Denny’s where 4 5 year olds did amazingly well considering how late it was.

Bobby felt a little better Saturday morning, so we opted to go to Grammie’s. Ken got a little sick on the way to his tournament, so all day Saturday, I was terrified that I would be next. Bobby did get a little sick outside Don Jose’s, but the day was good. We got home and I ate light, since I knew it was a matter of time.

At about 3 am, my time had come.

I kind of wish I had eaten more since my entire sick experience was all dry heaves. It was awful. I ended up staying in bed all day Sunday. It was the only place I could be without feeling worse. I slept. I have not slept that much in ages.

My stomach stopped purging around noon. I am still wiped out, though. I had an appetite this morning, and opted to eat something I knew actually sounded good. I got a couple of chicken tacos from Del Taco. I wonder if they were a bad choice, but I am still ok, so I guess this is a good sign.

I don’t know if lunch will happen, though. I have a salad, but my appetite is back to nothing again.

The only plus about being sick is that you don’t eat anything, which I am sad to admit is nice when you are on a diet. LOL!

I still have some shopping to do. I think Ken and I will handle it on Friday night after the lights. The boys are staying at my parents’ house so perhaps we will take advantage of stores staying open late and use some of my Christmas bonus to finish some of the Santa stuff.

As much as it pains me, I will not exercise today. I am still in recovery mode from the sick, so I will try to rest. If anything, perhaps we will take a leisurely walk with the kids and dogs.

I keep getting waves of ick, which are really not fun. I am managing. I will be home soon enough.
