Good Morning. Obviously I'm home and not heading to Boston. Hunter stopped vomiting at around Midnight and is feeling somewhat better today. He is still exhausted and very pale. He is also having pain from his foot issues that had him in tears
Nick had the runs at around 10 pm last night and then fell fast asleep. We heard him run for the bathroom at 2:00 and he emptied his tummy. Amazingly he went right back to sleep and he hasn't thrown up since. We got everyone up and through the shower this morning. Nick decided that he wasn't well enough to travel so we arranged for my Dad to stay with him since Mom was going with us anyway. Soon after making that phone call I started running...in both directions
At that point there was no way that I could travel either. Chris and Mom were still going to take Colby and Hunter, but then Hunter decided to stay home and rest so we bagged the whole trip. I called Bernadette hoping to give them our tickets, but they are all sick too
We called several family member in an attempt to give away the 6 tickets to no avail. Much to my suprise my brother called and said they would go. We thought that impossible as SIL's parents and grandmother are staying with them for a few days. SIL's brother and his family are coming to town tonight and I guess he family wanted to rest until then so that freed them up. Mom and Colby ended up going with them. Colby wasn't sure he wanted to go since the museum won't be happening, but he finally decided that it might be fun. I hope they have a quick and safe trip and that they totally enjoy it. The rest of us will do a lot of sleeping today. Chris isn't sick...yet, but only Colby got sleep last night so we can all use the rest.
I'm certainly hoping that luck turns around soon for all of us. Between loss of jobs and illness we seem to have had more than our fair share here.
I cannot believe that Lindsay's employer would do lay offs right before the holiday. What ever happened to Good Will toward man
I hope that she and all others in search of employment can secure something soon. With this economy it may not be the perfect longterm placement, but any gainful employment until things come around.
Good golly, there's a reason we don't get to go to the full price movie theater often....although we also don't get all the snacks we got this morning.
