When you're sliding into 1st and you feel a sudden burst......

Yup, Diarrhea ...courtesy of the stomach bug and/or the bad chicken I ate...Not sure which, but it doesn't really matter....I woke up Monday early morning and found myself doubled over in the bathroom sweating, and instantly full of anxiety (and NOT because everything causes anxiety for me)....But because all I could think was "oh no, this is not happening now, on a Monday, when I will have no one to help me if I am in fact sick (because let's face it, if you've had the stomach flu, food poisoning or alcohol poisoning ---- you know when it's normal poo or something is wrong with me poo)!

So by 7am, I was on my 5th trip to the porcelain God and was wracked with cramping that was ridiculous.....meanwhile my 2 year old and 11 month old were demanding breakfast, a diaper, a potty break.............so this is how the next approximate 48 hrs went.....


trip over baby gate to get there "in time"
bathroom - while in pain, tears, sweating, yelling to the kids on the main floor, that I was almost done, please don't hurt each other, be nice, stop yelling for me I'll be right there.....
trip over the baby gate coming back down....sit on couch
then telling kids, please don't bump mommy, please stop climbing on mommy, mommy needs to sit still, no mommy cannot get up right now, no wait, I will get you a snack in a bit
trip over baby gate to get there "in time"
rinse....repeat.....

Day 2: both boys woke up sick and crying....snotty nose, tired, crabby - so now they have bibs on to catch the drool, snot, tears & Mommy needs a diaper in order to function unless I could possibly spend the entire day in the bathroom? I ate Oyster Crackers and drank warm liquid jello (an old Mom recipe) and was in bed by 7:55pm.

Day 3: Feeling MUCH better, glad it's over, glad time does really fly by when you look back at it.....but seriously Mom's SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SICK...EVER. PERIOD.

***until their children are old enough to take care of them!

So in my description of my blog, I said sometimes beautiful, sometimes gross....this is the gross one ;)

Happy Hump Day!
