I was hoping to do a picture post this week, but sickness has made that unlikely…here’s the scoop…

Alex’s new meds seem to be doing the trick for his ears, though I’m wondering if he’s starting to teethe again.

Erin was fine for a whole 4-5 days, and this morning, she has a runny nose again.  Great.

We found out on Tuesday/Wednesday that the families who were also at Monday’s picnic all had the stomach flu.  So I was just waiting for the babies to come down with it.  So far they haven’t.

But I did.

I started to feel yucky on Wednesday evening.  I woke up about 11:30 and, for the next hour, laid in bed wondering how much longer it would take for the end to come.  It did, at about 12:30, with my first session of vomiting since high school.  Boy have I not missed that activity.

I felt really crummy all day yesterday, mostly from lack of sleep, I think.  Thankfully, Eric was home all day (see next paragraph), so he helped some.  I got a 2-hour nap.  I felt better for a bit.  Started to feel worse in the evening again.  But no more throwing up.  And I got a really good night’s sleep last night.  So this morning, I’m doing much better.  Not normal, but better.

And finally, Eric.  He had been fighting a sinus-y headache that started last Saturday.  Then came home early on Tuesday (3:30).  Then he came home at lunch on Wednesday.  He didn’t go to work yesterday.  He intended to go in today, but woke up with what I had yesterday (no vomiting yet, though).  So he’s home again today. 

So that is our sick, sick household.

Thankfully, the babies haven’t been sick to their stomachs.  Praying that continues.  And now that I’m a little better, I can deal more effectively with everyone else not feeling well.  It’s really hard to take care of people when you feel like crap!

Anyway, hopefully, I’ll get a picture post done…maybe Monday.  Happy weekend to you all!
