This Figures!!

I was looking forward to today! I rarely get a break from all of my kids, especially because my dh is gone alot. Today, two kids would be in school, and my dh was going to take our youngest with him while he drove around a fire truck all day for some fire department function. I would have several hours to MYSELF!!! As luck would have it, I woke up around 2 a.m. with the worst stomach cramps - I caught a bug! I've been puking all morning, and every fiber of my being aches. If I sit still I feel somewhat ok, but the minute I stand or move around....UGHH! So now I have to spend my whole day either in bed or on the couch. This figures!!

But isn't it better to being sick with out the kids?

That so figures! Whenever I plan for one of those rare mornings, either I get sick or one of the kids gets sick or the car breaks down, or the weather's lousy. . .really, I know I sound like a complainer here, but it's happened so many times that I have tried to re-train myself not to plan Anything for those days when I'm supposed to be alone!!

Feel better

Oh, I am so sorry you are not feeling well! Proves you need a day off, though!! Maybe another 'mommy day' can be planned in the near future to make up for this one! Hope you feel better by this evening!!

Bummer! I hate it when that happens.

This afternoon I was going to either do a couple errands or take it easy since I got all my chores done this morning, but then during lunch a tooth of mine broke (and I really mean broke), so it's off to the dentist for my fun afternoon.

This is SO true! Thanks for pointing out the brightside! It's hard to see the silver lining when you're head is stuck in a toilet bowl!

I thought I was feeling better, but just realized I'm not. Going back to the couch now and gonna finish up a good ol' Lifetime movie!

Oh man I hate having a stomach flu. It reminds me of being pregnant especially the last time when I was sick for almost 12 weeks and was in and out of the hospital for dehydration because nothing would stay down.

I would rather have a fever of 102 and chills than a stomach flu, so I mean it when I say I feel for you and know what you're going through. I'll be thinking about you and hoping you feel better real soon. Oh, and I'm glad you didn't have the kids with you. It's hard to take care of yourself when you're sick, let alone someone else. BE WELL!!!!!
