Let me start off by saying, this was supposed to be spring break for the kids, and my boyfriend had this week of as well. Okay, now I can tell you what all has happened…
It all started on Sunday night. On Sunday night, I was heading to bed, and the kids were able to stay awake a bit longer. We also had our other 2 boys over. So, with 4 kids in the house and my boyfriend playing D&D with his friends, our house was kind of full. I was laying down for a bit over 10 minutes when I was informed by my boyfriend that our oldest was sick.
Starting out with our daughter throwing up and having diarrhea at the same time, my night was sure to be interesting… oh how right that statement became. She soiled blanket after blanket, underwear, her clothes, my clothes, and sheets. Then, our oldest boy started to throw up.
Now, this was getting horrible! With 2 sick kids, the fact that I still had work in the am, and my boyfriend had company over and was on vacation…. I was just hoping that I didn’t get sick.
So, our son was only vomiting. But, he was throwing up so much that eventually it was just bile and stomach acid. The whole time he is sick, I was having to carry our daughter to the bathroom and place her in the tub. She could not even walk, it had gotten so bad. Then, it started nearing, I guess, around 5 when our next to oldest son threw up and had diarrhea too.
3 out of 4 kids were sick. I automatically had him strip out of clothes, down to his underwear, and sleep on the floor with his blanket and pillow. Now, once the first boy got sick, and between me taking care of everything, I taped plastic bags to our daughter’s bed. I, also, had her strip to her underwear, and I had our oldest boy in a sitting up position to sleep.
I took care of our sick kids until well after the sunrise Monday morning. Our daughter’s sickness started easing off around 7, our next to oldest son only had that one episode, and the last time our oldest son threw up it was around 9:30 Monday morning. At around 7am when my alarm went off, I went ahead and called out of work. I still had sick kids and they needed to be taken care of.
I finally got sleep after 9:30ish and only slept a total of about an hour. I was exhausted when that day was over. When Tuesday morning rolled around I got up and went to work. I still didn’t sleep much Monday night, but I couldn’t miss another day of work. After I got home on Tuesday, my boyfriend had to leave and go do work, even though he’s on vacation. While he was gone, I was still doing laundry, and cleaning, I started to feel bad…
While trying to put clean bedding on our daughter’s bed, I had to run to the bathroom. Yep, I was sick… and so, it began. The horrible pain associated with whatever stomach bug this was, was the worst pain ever. Once I started, I went ahead and told my boss that if it didn’t subside then I wasn’t going to be able to make it in on Wednesday. And, I am glad I did that earlier because it didn’t subside. I was in bed by 7 pm Tuesday night. I was freezing at first so I got in the shower and sat under the water, washed myself, and warmed up. Around midnight I took pain meds and my muscle relaxer to ease the pain. I stayed in bed until after lunch on Wednesday. I was still in pain and running to the bathroom every so often. My lower half was inflamed and hurting to the touch, due to all of the bathroom time. At least the pain meds and muscle relaxer helped. Wednesday night was a bit better, for everything. On Thursday morning I got up around 9:30ish and showered, shaved, and then went to work by 11. (Me and the teenager switched a few hours because she had her rehearsal dinner and impending wedding on Friday to get ready for… as well as her honeymoon cruise…she will not be in again until the 28th.)
I worked Thursday until 5. Once I was off of work I drove home, rinsed off, and then proceeded with getting ready. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that on Monday we had to cancel our dinner and dessert plans with our friends… so our “rain check” was rescheduled for Thursday night. Yep, after getting ready we headed to see our friends. I was feeling so much better and when we got there we had fun! Yes, lady play and wetness were a ton of fun!
So, last night after we got home, we went to bed and slept. My alarm went off this morning and I prepared to be at work until 5! Yep, a full day of work for me today. When I get home I will be with the kids… by myself tonight, once my boyfriend leaves for the game/card/hobby shop. Then, when he gets done there, he and his friends will come back home.
Tomorrow, Saturday we shall get up and spend time with our kids. I am also hoping that he will ink me tomorrow, hopefully anyway. Then, tomorrow night, after dinner, and after we take our youngest daughter back to her grandmother, we will be getting ready to attend the club! Yes, the club! Tomorrow is pirate themed. I get to wear my pirate wench outfit again! I am excited about it. We have not been to the club in over a month.
Oh my, I forgot to tell you all about last weekend and Friday! I guess another post is on the way!
