I will Survive !!!

And I did. Ugh, has anyone experience this lovely virus that is traveling the valley. Or were we are the beginngin of it? OMG !!!! That is all I have to say. Last Saturday when the hubby dearest got ill I thought, gee someone out at work was sick and didnt go home. ( I hate that, if your sick. GO HOME!!! Don't share your germs with the rest of us ) Then Jelly Bean got it, I was getting nervous.. Bam, there goes the lil man off to the pediatrican.. and the same night.. Horray.. My turn. I had a complete nervous breakdown because we were on our last night of graveyard and I knew that I couldn't be home alone to care for the kids while I was throwing up.. Forget it. My mother in law kindly came over and promised to stay and help with the baby, my dear sister took Jelly Bean home with her since she was well at this point. But about 1030ish. My MIL started being sick in the sink herself. Now what good was she going to be. I called Justin and told him to come on home otherwise the chances of someone dying were high. I couldn't gaurantee who. Thank goodness he did come home. I spent 80% of the night hugging my porceline buddy. I did get a tad bit lucky. I knew what was in store for me ahead of time so at the first signs I popped some Immodium Extra Strength and prayed very hard. Whew, it worked. It did take an entire day to regain some energy and even today 4days after I am feeling drained and dehydrated. I can tell the kids are still getting over the last hump as well, Lil Man is cranky and snuggly and Jelly Bean is very whiney and is wanting to sleep. Poor kids, I know that took ALOT out of them. It's amazing how fast this stuff travels, I can no longer count on one hand how many people have/had it in the last week. After this I was able to prove that you can use an entire can of Lysol in one afternoon. Amen to feeling better.
