A House of Sickies

When I picked up Nolan from school on Thursday he wasn't feeling well. He had the flu. He was feeling better by Saturday. He hadn't thrown up at all during the day. Then Saturday night he woke me up in the middle of the night. He had thrown up again. What??? Guess he wasn't feeling quite better yet. As I was cleaning up the mess, I realized I really wasn't feeling too well either. BUT moms aren't allowed to get sick, I thought. :P I stayed home from church with him on Sunday. Nolan didn't throw up at all. It was my turn. Monday, today I was still not feeling well. Up all night throwing up is quite exhausting. Nolan went to school. About 45 minutes later I get a phone call from his school. He wasn't feeling well. Adam went to go pick him up. He seemed just fine to me, but we gave him another sick day anyway. Adam took Annika to work with him. I was able to get some rest and have an excuse to crochet. :) A lady from New Jersey bought one of my Boston Terrier Hats. After she received it, she said she loved it so much she ordered 4 more. I love crocheting, but I might be a little Boston Terrierd out once these are done. :) I'm also having lots of fun selling things on etsy. I've had 9 bows sell so far in just a couple of weeks. 4 of them went to Australia... Hopefully, it'll keep getting better. ANYWAYS, so Adam was sweet enough to have Annika all day so I could get my strength back. I was feeling a little better by 2:00 or so and told him if he was busy I could have her home. They got back a little after 4. Adam made some homemade chicken noodle soup at his work and brought it home for us and then had to leave right away. Annika had a couple of bites and then puked. :P Ugh! I was grateful it didn't happen while I was sick too at least. It's so hard to take care of sick kids when you're not feeling well yourself. This is the first time Annika's caught the flu. Poor baby, didn't quite know what was going on. She is asleep on my floor. I am paranoid that she'll wake up gagging on her puke. :( So, I might not sleep too well tonight. It's definitely a lot nicer when they get old enough to run to the toilet instead of letting it out ALL OVER!!! I hope we don't have to postpone her blowing out her birthday candles on Wednesday. We'll for sure need to postpone a party though till everyone's done being sick!!!
