Par For The Course

I got the tummy bug. I knew I was in trouble last night when I woke up with a belly ache that just wouldn't give. I tossed and turned from 1:00am till about 4:00am when Noah came in for his usual, "I had a nightmare and I wet the bed" routine. He needed help with his clean pajama shirt and that did me in. I sent him back to bed, told him to hit play on the c.d. player and ran for the bathroom--just in time. Probably the nastiest barf I've done in years. My body aches. My belly aches. My joints ache. I'm exhausted. It was all I could do to get the big boys to school. Caleb is finally napping and poor Denver is planted firmly in front of the TV, again. And all I really wanted to do this week was take Denver on a hayride to pick apples and make homemade apple pie with him. He's been so neglected lately.

Anyway, I knew this would happen especially with Mark out of town and me being almost in my ninth month. I always get stomach flu during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I never barf during the first trimester, always during the last trimester or very shortly thereafter. Not fun, especially this time around--I'm already completely miserable. Barf is the last thing I need. Anyway, I'm hoping this is the last of my troubles for awhile and that things will start looking up from here on out. Otherwise I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Still want to trade, Kak?

Shana--I am so sorry! Do you need me to come back up there to help out?

 

Dang it! The universe is seriously picking on you these days. Feel free to cuss colorfully (in between barfing sessions) without fear of karmic repercussions--you've earned the right to feel seriously abused. Please let me know what I can do to help.

 

Yes! I'll trade! Seriously!

 

Wow . . . God must think the world of you and your family. Job would probably give you a birdie for the course. (Hopefully there haven't been too many exchanges of birdies with Eddy the plumber) Honestly though, I think it's clear that you love your family and because of that God will give you the strength you need to prevail.
