Just Venting

I'm feeling the need to rage a little. Blogs are funny. Mine is for the good, usually. Today, the not so good.

Adam got me a new laptop for my birthday. I'm enjoying this new little toy. The chance to sit almost anywhere and be connected to the internet. It's been fun at night, when the house is asleep, to sit in my bed and watch missed shows from the day or week before, look at Pintrest, Facebook, or read blogs.

Tonight, the house is asleep and I'm feeling the need to vent. I might not even post this, maybe save it until tomorrow and then decide to post or not. I consider myself to be a pretty upbeat person. I get annoyed at things sure, but who doesn't. I can have my negative moments that sometimes last for days....sometimes weeks, but I eventually snap out of them. Well, I'm in a slump...maybe this blog post will help me get over it.

My kids are sick. Really sick. Not just a cold/stuffy nose/cough, but a stomach bug. The nasty kind, the kind that overtakes your whole house, the kind that keeps you coped up for days....maybe even a week, the kind that makes you keep your kids home from school and your husband home from work.

Elley woke up early Thursday morning throwing up. I hate throw up. That poor girl threw up for 12 hours. 12 hours! She laid on the couch saying, "mommy, my whole body hurts."

Please let it only be Elley, please! Molly threw up later that night. She didn't get it as bad as Elley, Molly has only thrown up twice. Instead, Molly gets the other end, which Elley gets too. Barf and poop, what fun for me! So, here I am...holding bowls and wiping butts. Holding bowls because, 1) Elley doesn't like to use the toilet, and 2) after the 2nd or 3rd time throwing up theres really nothing left, why run to the bathroom? Oh yeah, and why is it that we had to have lasagna for dinner the night Elley became sick. She barfed all over the stairs. Yes, barfed up lasagna all over the stairs.

Friday was Molly's birthday. 3 years old, wow...what a big girl. We had a little party planned that we had to cancel. Poor girl, sick for her birthday. We went out to eat that night anyway, Buffalo Wild Wings...the girls love that place, they hardly had a bite.

Saturday they were feeling better, YAY...maybe we're getting over it. Not the case. Elley uses the bathroom. She calls me in and says, "mom, I think I just peed out my butt, and it keeps coming."

Molly wakes up Sunday morning and has had an accident in her bed. She just couldn't hold it. And we're not talking pee. I put her in the bath and run upstairs to take all the bedding off. She calls for me but I'm too late, she is now bathing in it.

By lunch they are starving. Elley throws up lunch. By dinner they are starving. Molly throws up dinner. More laundry, more poop, more whine.

And let's not forget Addison. How do you keep her sick sisters away from her? I tried the best I could. She's had 3 poopie diapers today with a diaper rash to go with it. Did she catch the bug? I don't know. I don't think so. I hope not!

I hate it when the kids get sick. I've gone a little crazy in the last few days, and so have the kids. Elley hates not being able to go to school, play with friends, go to birthdays, go to church. But mostly, hold Addison.

We have a trip planned for tomorrow. Nothing huge, just a few days in Twin, but that's not looking so good right now.

Sickness never is planned. There is never a good time to be sick. But this bug hit us hard. Lucky for me, I didn't get it. I guess I'm not really out of the woods yet. Adam called in sick for tomorrow so he'll be able to help with the kids, although, he's got his own bug issues going on.

My hands are so raw from all the washing and disinfecting. After this I'm buying new tupperware. (that's what we've been puking in)

This past week has made me thankful for good health. I'm ready for this to be OVER.

Ahhh, I feel better. Sorry for those who read this, just needed to vent a little!
