sick with the stomach virus

I got sick yesterday with the stomach virus. The only reason I feel like sitting at this computer blogging right now is b/c I sat down to write one message to my hubby at work, and now I feel too bad to get up from this spot, so I decided to have a pity party instead.

I woke up yesterday not feeling well, but thought it was just from something I ate, as I do this often, and I could still function a bit. Clay left with the 3 bigger kids yesterday afternoon for a bit, while the 3 youngest took a nap. Then it hit me hard. I felt so sick, I couldn't even move. I layed there the whole time he was gone, and when Miss M woke up, I asked her to please just sit in the chair. Then I heard C wake up, and wondered what in the world I was going to do....and about that time everyone got home.

My family had to chip in, and care for things as best they could. As I layed in our bed that is downstairs, amongst the chaos, it was making me crazy that I couldn't get up. I had to keep calling out to everyone to tell them what to do, and just that was so hard to do. My house is a TOTAL disaster right now, and I only feel a little better....as in, I can sit upright today, but I still can't move much. And, Miss M woke up throwing up. I jumped up and took care of her, and asked Clay if he would please take Z to daycare, I would keep C home with me. Then I sat down, and realize the adrenaline had worn off, and I couldn't care for either baby today. So Rachel got C ready for me, while I fixed his bottles, and Clay took 5 kids to their destinations for me.

My sweet Rachel brought me a wet rag, and a glass of water right after I threw up yesterday without being asked. Now that is love. :-) I seriously considered allowing one of my kids to stay home and take care of me! I would have but they have already missed too much school from being sick, and I am sure this stomach bug isn't going to stop at just me and one child.
