Ivy Tied Up |

I’ve been non existant since Saturday evening. The virus my husband has found its way to my kiddos. Saturday my kids went to a birthday party. Saturday night my son got up at 11pm and started vomiting. It went on all night long into the next morning. Sunday he started running 101 fever. He was okay after it broke and started bouncing off the walls. Monday morning I had a ton of errands to run. Shipping ot be done, school clothes to be bought and my oldest woke up complaining her stomach was hurting. She sat there telling me she was going to be sick and next thing I know she is vomiting all over my house.. It was a day from hell. It was horrible.. She kept on and I felt so sorry for her. She would look at me and cry. Beg me to make it better. She even asked me to take her to the doctor. But there is nothing the doctor could do for her. Its a stomach virus that lasts anywhere from 24 hours to 72 hours. And once your over it your over it. She was so upset. She was hurting and I couldnt fix it. She was miserable and I was miserable for her. The only request I could do for her was to hold her head while she got sick. So all day monday I sat next to her and held her head up for her. And scrubbed the carpet. Tuesday she felt a bit better but not totally so she laid around all day. Dh is working nights. He came home tuesday morning from work throwing up. He did that all day tuesday and all day wed so I was busy taking care of him and the kids. It hit me Tuesday evening. I didnt have a choice but to keep going. no one else was going to help me. And no one else was going to take care of me or the kids. I doped myself up on nausea meds which helped some and then today it hit me full force. I spent hte day hauling kids to school and home and being miserable while trying to do it. It’s been one hell of a week. The lil one has it now. She is miserable and there is nothing I can do. I’ll write tom about the kids first day of school (diva went to 1st grade and bug went to Pre-k) when I’m feeling better..
