Just a quick update. Yes, I'm still alive. I might be about 10 pounds lighter though. TMI warning. IF you can't handle the talk of being violently ill, please just skip and wish us well.
The last 48 hours have been, well, not fun.
I started to get a cold on Sunday. Monday, Leo started throwing up.
On Tuesday, I felt ill, but was good. That night, Zoe tossed her cookies...in the van. UGH! By 12:30 that night every kid, but Leo, was throwing up. I joined the fun early Wednesday morning. Poor Dexter, I felt the worst about him.
Steve has a major cold, a sad tummy, but lucky for him, he never got to join the, iPuke club. He stayed home Wednesday, so I can stay in bed and make mad dashes to the bathroom, with bowl in hand. He got to stay in the living room covered in sick babies and kiddos.
Thursday morning, everyone was ok...but Jake and Zoe. They both needed bowls in the morning. By the end of the day, everyone was feeling good. But Steve. That cold of his isn't very fun.
This morning, only Zoe needs a bowl. In fact, for the last three days, she has spent it either on the couch or on the floor, with her head in a bowl. She has a fever, and can barely keep anything down.
Today, I'm going to take it easy. Even though I have a mile high stack of dishes that needs to get done. Not to mention all the crackers that are on my floors. Oh and the freakishly high pile of laundry that is waiting to either be folded or washed. I think I'll just rewash everything and start over. But that can wait.
I don't want to over do it. I'm good at doing that. I over do it, then I get super sick. So, today, I'm forcing myself to be on the couch and cuddling with my little girl that just can't seem to kick this bug. And nurse a baby that is growing like a weed. While having the tv on all day long to try and keep my kids quiet so I don't piss off the neighbor. (Is it wrong of me to wish that she comes up here to yell at me, and then I fantasize about puking on her? Wrong? Probably.)
So glad there has not been any school for the last three days. I'm just hoping everyone gets better by Monday. And that my house gets back in order by then too. But that all depends on how well we all feel.
THANK YOU to everyone that has stopped by and wished us well. That has sent healthy vibes and prayers our way. And to a few of you that sent your cures. If it was just a cold, I totally would have tried a garlic tea concoction, but just reading it made me ill.
I'm saving it for later. I know I'll get a cold again. Kids in school and it seems like people in our church will just let their sick kids go to church and share with everyone. NOT COOL PEOPLE!
Anyway, thank you for your kind words and well wishes. I'm sorry I'm not commenting or responding to emails. It's just all a little overwhelming right now. And in fact, I'm shutting everything down as soon as I'm done writing this. Looking at this computer hurts my head.
I'm hoping to be back on Monday, for my Mormon Monday! If you have a question about my beliefs, shoot me and email this weekend, and I'll answer some questions for Monday. K?
Until then, have a great weekend! =)

hugs feel better soon
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. As I type this it seems like I am sick, too. My whole body has started aching but can't tell if it's from working out too much or the flu...anyhow not fun being sick with a house full of kids.
Oh, you guys are sorry cases. I'm thinking your new diet plan may not be the best way to go. Sending healthy thoughts for your family and praying your Zoe gets better soon.
So glad you all are starting to feel better. Find some family or friends to come in and help you out with the laundry and dishes so you can take it easy! But if that doesn't work... just get to them when you get to them. :)
Oh yikes, there is NOTHING worse than tummy troubles. Give me a stuffy nose and a sore throat any day over that. Yuck yuck yuck. I hope you feel better FAST!
