Rough Times

Last night Maddie started throwing up around 11pm.  Of course it was the night before the zoo field trip that she has looking forward to for weeks.  I was really excited too because I was going to chaperone and I thought it would be a really great day for the two of us to spend together.  Then I got sick about midnight.  Claire was throwing up the day before, and then this morning Jude started.  Yuck.  It has been a rough couple of days, and thus far I'm not feeling any better.  Poor Maddie must have been sick twelve times last night, and I was up to seven.  Jude only hit three - but add on Claire's couple of times and that is a LOT of cleaning up.  

Rob has done it all - on very little sleep.  While I was in one bathroom he was in another with Maddie.  He's cleaned the sheets, wiped the mouths and kept up the house cleaning and dishes.  What a good man. So forgive me for cutting this short and not even worrying about the writing.  I'm too pooped.  I've spent most of the day in bed - and plan to get back in there as soon as I possibly can.

BDEM:  In all of my sickness and grogginess, I have had such a good afternoon just watching Claire.  She is getting so big and is such a hilarious kid.  Even at my absolute sickest that kid is able to bring a smile to my face.

Water:  Pure water?  None.  I've had about a half bottle of Powerade, and a little bit of sprite.
