My little Florence Nightengale

So Monday I don't know what happened...but I got SICK! We went to Joey's office after daycare to pick him up for FHE. He recently got a new office so we went up to see it. Joe asked if I was OK and I kept saying I just didn't feel good. I thought it was because I just hadn't eaten enough for lunch (pork ribs weren't sounding good so I stuck to the veggie and bread route...) I thought I'd be fine as soon as we got something to eat. Couldn't wait that long as I lost it just outside the building. I felt better for a bit and we went to the Pastry Pub for dinner. I had half a veggie sandwich and a sprite, but it still wasn't sitting well. We went to the park and sure enough....lost my dinner right next to the playground. My apologies to the lady that was sitting there with her baby...I tried to make it to the bathroom, but it wasn't happening. Then I couldn't stop sneezing (I think the veggies irritated my allergies...). We dropped Joe back off (he had some more work to do) and I headed home. I don't know what the deal was, but I didn't get two blocks down the road before I had to pull over AGAIN! I got home, put a movie on for the kids, took half a unisom, a zrytec and some water. Couldn't keep that down either. I took a bath and was fine, but as soon as I stood up I was sick again. I finally gave up and just layed down.

Kelley was the sweetest little thing all night. She kept coming to check on me, asking if she could get anything and was the best little nurse I could ask for. I couldn't get a hold of Joey at work because his phone hasn't been moved since he has. So she was it. She told me "Momma...if in the morning you aren't feeling good and just want to lay down, just let me know and I can handle the daycare kids until Misty gets here." She also put Tyler to bed for me (story and all!) and picked up the living room for me. She got me water, a hair band, a cold washcloth, the thermometer, tissues and tums. Then this morning about 6:30 AM she came in to see how I was feeling (much better thanks!) I couldn't have got better care if I had paid for it!

Big thanks also to my brother, who ran to the store to get some noodle soup and tylenol for me. Also to my dear hubby who didn't get home until LATE and then had to put away laundry and make the bed as I had been totally unable to do so. You are the best!

So we let Kelley come with us to the ultrasound yesterday and she told the tech "I'm tired because I didn't get to bed until really late last night. I had to take care of my mommy and clean the living room." That sounds a little strange not knowing the backstory ;)

The saddest part of the story is this...I think I must have been "sick" sick (as opposed to baby sick) because Kelley did the same thing all night tonight. Poor thing! She had been invited to a "late night fancy nancy" party and everything. I felt so bad for her! Hopefully she recovers quickly and is fine in the morning.
