A blog about everything and nothing

This past week has been nuts. It all started last saturday night. Jenny, Jack, Alivia, me and a family from work went to see Sesame Street Live at the scott trade center. Alivia had alot of diet coke, popcorn and cotton candy. At about 11:00 that night she came into our room, climbed into our bed and threw up...in my bed. great...I proceeded to give her a bath, change the sheets, change her, ets.. at about 12:30 I hear her coming again so I jumped up and met her at the top of the stairs in just enough time for her throw up down the stairs. Again, I cleaned her, cleaned up the stairs and changed her again. She was fine the rest of the night and all day sunday. It began again Monday morning and of course of all days, I had to be at my HQ office at 8:30. She got up around 6:30 and again had gotten sick. I wondered if she was still sick from all the junk she ate saturday night so I gave her a bath, got ready for work and headed on my way. Rob was already at work. I drove through sonic for some drinks and she threw up again....in the car. So, I called Rob and luckily he was able to meet me at my work and he stayed home with her that day. Tuesday and Wednesday were fairly normal. Thursday is when it started snowing hard here so I left work at about 1:30. My car was already covered in snow and I really didn't want to end up in a ditch so I figured I would go while it still wasn't too bad. My bowling league got cancelled that night as well. On friday we woke up and the snow was to the middle of the tires...on the escalade!! Again, this is a day I was supposed to be at my HQ office at 8:30 (never fails) I called my boss and told him there was no way I could get out and wasn't going to be able to make it. He called me back a few minutes later and told me that he would offer to give me a ride but didn't want to drive on my road either! As you may or may not know, I live on a private street that is not maintained by the city so it doesn't get plowed unless we pay for it. Not to mention my driveway is straight up hill and the road is down hill...anyway. So we stayed home all day. It should have been a great snow day stuck at home but it was far from it. I started feeling sick, rob was coughing all day and then alivia had diarrhea. I had to borrow diapers from my neighbor. I only had 5 pull ups left which wouldn't have been a big deal except she went through all five of them by 9:00 AM!!! I called my neighbor who has 6 kids so I knew she would have extra diapers and she did-thank god! Rob and I were supposed to go out of town saturday morning for a bowling trip and were really looking forward to it. Rob woke up saturday morning and felt even worse then he did on friday. We got everything together and was able to get out of the driveway. I was so behind at work, I stopped by there first and did some work while he slept in the car then we dropped alivia off at my mom's house. We also had to go to his work and get his wallet because he left it there on thursday not thinking he wouldn't be at work on friday. We finally got on the road and got to springfield, il at about 2:30. I still wasn't feeling 100% and he wasn't even feeling 25%. He ended up bowling pretty decent. We went back to the hotel and stayed there all night. At about 9:00 our friend called me who had brought his son with him, he said that his son wasn't feeling well and he wanted me to sit with him while he went up to the store and bought him some medicine. I thought to myself, if this kid gets sick on me i'm going to lose it. I had been cleaning up bodily fluids all week and just didn't want to deal with anyone else's kids!! Everything was fine and I went back to my room. We woke up sunday morning and still didn't feel well. Rob was going between burning up and freezing. He somehow managed to bowl a 299 game!! He got done at about 11:30 and we headed home. He sleeping on the couch right now while the superbowl is on tv and I'm trying catch up from everything that I didn't get done all weekend. Alright, time to put liv to bed and pray I make it through the night with no messes from anyone.
