So it started on Friday when I was waiting in the lobby of the school after SuperGames for the kids to finish up.\u00a0 My phone rings and it’s Andy.\u00a0 Apparently Blake’s teacher called him (not realizing that I was already there).\u00a0 He was in the classroom sick.<\/p>\n

So I find him, he was about to puke.\u00a0 I call Andy to pick us up because I had walked over.\u00a0 I take him home and get him settled in my bed so he can rest up for the soccer party we were having that night.\u00a0 I thought he was probably just over-heated from playing outside all day in the sun.<\/p>\n

I went to a friends house to pick up Cole and when I came back Blake had puked in my bed.\u00a0 UGH!\u00a0 Our washer was dead and the new one was not scheduled to be delivered until today.<\/p>\n

He feels a little better and is able to join the party.\u00a0 There were three doctors at the party and the wife of one suggested I give him Dramamine.\u00a0 So I gave him some and he was wolfing down hot dogs and cookies by the end of the night.<\/p>\n

Now since he recovered so fast and because I thought it was just the heat, I didn’t do my normal “someone in the house has the stomach flu so I am only going to eat bananas (or any other light food for a couple days”.\u00a0 I do this because I had a really bad experience one time when the stomach flu ripped through our house- I thought I was in the clear, had a HUGE meal and puked it all up.\u00a0 And not to be super gross or anything, well let’s just say it was a lot of puke and it was really gross.\u00a0 Tasted the whole meal twice.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I didn’t think it was the stomach flu, once again ate a ton- and by early Sunday morning I knew I was in trouble.<\/p>\n

It was the stomach flu alright.\u00a0 I too took the dramamine, but didn’t bounce back like my little friend Blake.\u00a0 Spent the day in bed instead, but at least I didn’t puke all day.\u00a0 Instead I missed going to the Memorial<\/a> (no I am not a golfer but we had free tickets and some of our friends were going) and to Cincy to my nieces graduation party.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41
\nNow Austin is on the couch with a bucket by his head. \u00a0 I just gave him the dramamine.\u00a0 Apparently your body doesn’t need to keep puking when you have the bug (unlike food poisoning, where you have to get the poison out) who knew?<\/p>\n

The good news is that I am feeling much better and the delivery guys just delivered my new space age looking washing machine.\u00a0 Bad news is I have no idea how to work it and it appears to hold twice as much as my dryer (that I didn’t replace).\u00a0 That could be tricky.<\/p>\n

In other news it the last week of school for the boys- yay!\u00a0 Well yay until they all start fighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
