You don't know what you got, till it's gone!

If ever "Ya don't know what ya got til it's gone," was true,....it was yesterday. And what was gone, was MY HEALTH! UG, I'm not sure about any of you, but this little flu virus that is going around is a nasty little bugger.  The good thing is that it only lasts about 7-8 hours of uncontrollable elimination of everything inside of you, and you get to stay in bed all day, but I can't remember the last time I barfed and WASN'T drunk!

Ok, so I am trying to look at the brighter side of things here...give me a break.

But for real, what the heck is this bug?  Everyone is getting it and it spreads like wild fire!  It has no mercy and is not happy until you are completely empty of any and all.  Oh, and it doesn't care if you are 5 1/2 months pregnant and can sit on the cold bathroom tile floor and it doesn't care that when you are pregnant and barf you also lose control of your bladder. REALLY?!!!



Soooo, yeah, I was a walking, lying, sleeping, barfing, peeing nightmare yesterday.  Thank God for Jim, literally.  He stayed home all day with Emersyn, Cody and Skylar.  I am not sure if it was because he knew there was no way I would be able to take care of anyone, or because I told him how my last husband left me with a sick kid and I have truly never forgiven him for that? Either way, he stayed and left me to run back and forth to the bathroom to rid myself of life.

Finally we called the OB/GYN to make sure that a 5 1/2 month pregnant person is allowed to barf for seven hours straight and not kill the baby.  I just wanted to check.  I mean, they act like you have to eat and drink and yadda yadda or you are going to forever ruin your unborn, so I was thinking total annihilation on my body, could be bad.  But the doctor said I could barf for an additional 4 hour before we needed to be concerned. Is this in a medical book somewhere?  So of course, I stopped barfing, just in time.

And today I am back with the living.  I am just waiting for Jim and Skylar to get it.  Cody came home from school with it and Jim got to deal with all of that nightmare last evening. Oh, he is a good husband and dad.  He then taught Cody about sitting on the toilet and barfing in a garbage can, as the opposite plan isn't well...uuummmm, quite as sanitary, get me?

So now I'm just tired, sore and glad that THE bug has left me.  I mean, I like a house guest and all, but this one had to go.  So much for my day off, I would have rather went to gymnastics with Emersyn!
