Please come visit tomorrow too as we have a big day happening!

Well last week was the big "THROW UP OF 2010"!  It was horrible!  Apparently, Maggie's daycare has had the sweep of the stomach virus.  Most of the kiddos have had it and some of the moms with two moms going to the ER! 

Last Wednesday, Maggie was in bed and I heard her screaming?  I ran in there and she had thrown up all over herself and my bed.  She was so scared, I am assuming she had never done that before.  Bless her heart.  I felt so sorry for her.

Sidenote:  This was the main fear that I had being a new mom - I didn't know if I would be able to handle throw up without doing the same.  Apparently, it really doesn't matter when it is your child as you only care about them being upset and getting them cleaned up.  WHEW...

Back to the story, Got her cleaned up, stripped the bed, put on clean sheets and laid down for another try at sleep.  Repeat came 3 hours later - this time on me too.  Rinse, repeat, literally!  (Note to self, 2 sets of sheets are not enough)  Maggie got back to sleep, this time on her mattress from the crib on my floor.  I slept on a bare mattress with a blanket - hey, who is going to wash sheets and dry them and make the bed so late?

Thursday morning came and all was well.  No fever, happy child, drank a lot of water, etc.  She went to school only to find out that there was a virus going around - really?  LOL

Got home and she was fine that day.  Went to bed early Thursday night and at 4:00 a.m., I awoke to the fun virus. Mine came with body aches, chills, headache and fever.  While huddled over the toilet, I feel a little head resting on my back.  Maggie was out of bed and came to see what was going on and was trying to hug me.  HOW SWEET IS THAT????  I took her to daycare and made it back to the subdivision before throwing up all over myself in the car - did I mention that this was FUN?  What is it with kids bouncing back in a few hours and us adults taking 3 days?

I literally died on Friday - called in my daycare mom troops for some help and Charlotte's mom, Heather came to the rescue.  She volunteered to pick Maggie up from daycare on Friday and keep her overnight.  What a lifesaver as I will say, it took until Sunday morning to recover.  Thank you Heather and family - you were a much needed guardian angel.

On Saturday, we watched Auburn win the SEC Championship game and head to the BCS National Championship game - all is right with the world again!!!!

So aren't you glad there were NO pictures????  Remember to check back in tomorrow!
