I Was Ready to Be Tested for Swine Flu...

or for the poor pork producers the H1N1 virus! We have all traded around a stomach bug this week, well and part of last week.  Bruce had to pick up Meg early last Wednesday from school as she was puking. She seemed pretty fine when she got home and for the rest of the day but then that night she puked all in my bed! I <3 it when they do that, nothing like having to wash sheets at 3 in the morning. Then I was pretty certain that everyone else was going to be okay and she was just puking because she was a bit phelmy, and she is a gagger. Then Sunday morning as I was getting ready for church I wasn't feeling too great. I couldn't miss though my mom and I were singing the special music it that morning. So I went and I didn't feel good at all through Sunday school. Then by the time church was over I felt pretty awful. I ended up on the couch at mom and dad's and didn't eat lunch. Slept on and off all day Sunday. Fast forward to about 11 o'clock Sunday and Cooper pukes all over the carpet in the living room! YUCK! Bruce cleaned that up, I <3 Bruce! I still didn't feel good Monday and neither did Cooper we spent the day on the couch, him on one end and me on the other. I still wasn't feeling the greatest Tuesday, still was icky on Wednesday, but we all went to church. Fast forward to early morning Thursday, Alex comes and tells me she just threw up in the bathroom. Whew I thought at least she made it the bathroom. I put her in bed with Bruce, and I went and slept on the couch. When I got up Thursday morning I got the most unpleasant surprise. Alex had mad it to the bathroom but totally missed and puked all over the toilet and bathroom floor! What is worse than cleaning up puke at 3 in the morning? Cleaning up  puke that has sat there since 3 in the morning! BLEH!  I gagged a few times and that was the closest I came to throwing up during this whole ordeal! Bruce wasn't feeling too hot last night but he went to work today. I hope we are all over this thing! My stomach is still not up to par, but I feel better. Alex really didn't want to go today but I made her, cause I am mean like that. I am all filled up on my cleaning puke quota for the year though, so I would appreciate it if from now on this little gems would just  pass my family on by, thank you very much!

Be Kool, Meg!!

Meg has had some type of bug for the past two days. She started running fever again tonight, so I went to Wal-Mart and found these Be Kool Patches. They have this cooling gel on them and then they stick to the forehead and helps cool them down. Here is a link. Anyway, she loved the thing. She loved the thing so much she won't take it off! Thing is I am hoping she is not running fever tomorrow so that A. she can go back to school and B. I can get my hair done and c. I don't have to take her to the dr and have her pick up gosh only knows what other germs!! YUCK! I am afraid I am going to have to pry it off her head so she can go back to school. She actually looks pretty cute, but really not the fashion statement I would want her to make. So here's hoping Meg is better tomorrow and her love of the Be Kool patch has ended. If you have a kiddo that is sick and running fever I would highly recommend these, they were pretty dang awesome! They make them in adult sizes too! They really should have to pay me for this endorsement as I know millions of my adoring fans will run out and buy soley on my recommendation! LOL
