Well, it has happened. The stomach bug has finally hit our house and this is after almost a year without a single person being sick. I feel terrible typing this right now, but I made a commitment and I'm not going to quit when I hit a bump. With that being said, I make no promises that any of this will make a bit of sense! LOL
Well our day was as normal as normal gets and I was really starting to enjoy the calmness. After we picked Jaxon up from school and got everyone home it was time for the younger 3 to take naps. So Jaxon sat at the table and did his homework, I looked through his papers and the other kids were off in dreamland. I get a phone call around 4:15pm and it was Allen saying he was on his way home. This is a typical call from him and we just chatted for a bit and then I went to let Jaxon play Xbox for 30 mins. I sat down on the couch for my "me time" before dinner gets started and I hear something in the distance. I thought it was my phone so I walked into the kitchen and saw that I had missed a call. It was Jeanna so I called her back and sat down at the computer to email her some new pictures.
About 5 mins into the call, I heard a noise that I would rather never hear. It was Asher and I knew I had such a mess to clean up. I'll spare you the details of that drama, but I was thankful that Allen was almost home. Lyla was now awake and screaming. I had to get her and help Asher to the bathroom without stepping in nasty. It was not such a fun thing, but we made it work. Thankfully, Allen made it home just minutes after all the drama and he took Lyla so I could clean everything up. (LUCKY ME!!!) LOL What a nice guy, right??
Allen has never been one to step up and handle things, when the kids are sick. He is always so mean and wants to stay FAR away from it all. I turn on my "super mom/survival button" and get in there and take care of business. I'm good with doing that. It usually works in our house. But about half way through it all, I start to feel very sick. I have yet to have an issue, but man I am a hot mess now.
My poor Asher sat in the bathroom for 2 hours straight. I have never seen him this sick. I just want to hold him and love on him, but he won't let me. He tells me, "Mama, you can't be sick too. Don't hug me tonight." He is just perfect! I think he is going to make his wife so happy one day! LOL Allen and Lyla ran to the store for us and got supplies. We have chicken noodle soup, 7-up, Gatorade, Pineapple (the most important thing!!), and tons of fresh fruit for the other kids. What a blessing to have the extra money this month, to get these things that weren't on our grocery list. I am so grateful that God knows just when to give us a new obstacle. HE never gives us more than we can handle! WOW, that is incredible, isn't it!??!!!
Off I go to relieve Dad of his watch. He let me slide in here to blog really quick. He gets so nervous when the babies are sick. It's almost a bit funny to see him fumble around. LOL Hopefully better news tomorrow. I have a feeling it is going to be a very long night. . .
