Tuesday night, I finally got the full-fledged version of this stomach flu.
along with Jason.
again.
what the…..
Zander began throwing up next and then Zachary.
again.
then by the next morning, Zoe woke up puking as well.
so there we all were, all five of us. five pathetic excuses for human beings.
taking turns throwing up and running into the bathroom.
I actually ran out of bowls!
I resorted to going down to the basement and bringing up buckets!
I won’t tell you how many times I had to clean my sofa AND my couch in just one day.
and I also will not tell you how many times I had to clean my wood floors.
I hope vomit doesn’t eat the finish off of them.
right now, Zander is sitting up watching Rugrats and Zoe and Zachary are going on their 10th nap today.
Jason is trying to rest in the bedroom, inbetween trips to the bathroom. he still has it coming from both ends.
I, on the other hand, am feeling a little better.
well, let’s just say, good enough to blog to you about Summer Barffest 2007.
I have a raging headache and I don’t recall the last time I put food in my stomach.
but I’ve been able to keep everything down for about 6 hours now.
so no complaining here.
I hope none of you get this terrible, nasty, evil, plague flu epidemic thing.
it’s truly horrible.
depending on how the whole family feels, I may not blog again until next week.
we’ll see.
let’s just put it this way, if everyone is not better, I just won’t have the heart to share it with you.
again.
enjoy the rest of your week and take care of those nice healthy bodies of yours!

I think it might be time to visit the Dr. You might have something more serious than the flu since it keeps coming back!
Hope everyone is feeling better yesterday!
thanks, Heather!
don’t worry, if everyone isn’t better by today, I am calling poison control.
or an ambulance.
;-P
I so hate to see everyone sick, especially since everyone is also sick at Grandma’s so I can’t help you and you can’t help me. Papa is still vomiting after more than 36 hours & I think he needs to visit the doctor. The rest of us got better after about 12 hours but haven’t eaten, are living on Ginger Ale and water and our stomach muscles are so sore it hurts to just bend over. Peachy when you have to clean out puke-bowls and wash bedding. Here’s hoping we’re all well by the weekend!
I got all the bedding nice and clean at 9:30pm and sent Jason to bed.
by 4am this morning, Zander had crawled into our bed and threw up in it.
what was the point of laundering???
we moved him to the couch to sleep and he puked on that, too.
Jason is trying to work today and the kids and I are just loafing on the couch, nibbling on soda crackers and sipping water.
I’m too afraid to eat breakfast but I HAVE to get rid of this headache!
hope you’re all feeling better soon.
I am so sorry! Me and mine are sending much love your way. Get better soon: )
so sweet of you, Galadriel.
thanks!
