Sick and Tired...

I thought this morning when I got up that things were just catching up with me. I felt nauseous, but seemed to feel a little better when I got around. It was a long day, just didn't feel up to par, but not really bad enough to go home. By the time I had bus duty, I was feeling pretty yucky again, and I went straight home and went to bed. I stayed there until after 8!

The kids were great. Rachel was taking great care of me, and cooked supper. She took my temp like 3x (no temp). I was very glad she stepped up because I was feeling terrible. Not to give too much info, but I ended up with probably the worse case of diarrhea ever.

I had to be really careful this morning because when I mentioned I didn't feel good, Tye freaked out. He started crying, saying...but I don't want you to be sick. He looked at me, almost terrified. I reassured him I would be ok.

But there was no hiding it by the time TJ dropped him off tonight. He crawled up in bed with me and rubbed my shoulders. He kept saying he would take good care of me. He brought me water and read me some bedtime stories, even brought me some socks and walked me to the bathroom. He told me he thought he better stay home tomorrow to take care of me. He kept checking on me about every 5 min., and told me just to holler his name.

I finally drug myself out of bed around 8 and decided to try the jacuzzi and see if my tummy would feel better. Tye was saying he was sick and he needed to stay home. I was just starting to let the water out when Rachel pounded on the door and said...Tye just threw up all over your bed.

Sigh. So now I feel bad for half ignoring him! Next thing I knew, I was throwing up too. I have to say though that right now I feel better than I have all day, although that still isn't that great. Rachel put him in the bathtub while I got things cleaned up and battled getting sick myself. When I peeked in on Tye, he said...you're going to have to take care of me. I told him not to worry, that we could stay home together. Then when he got out of the tub, he said...we need someone to take care of us.

Yeah, Daddy. We need Daddy.

At least we have each other, and I had so much help from Rachel, and even Amberlea in them just keeping their voices down and being self-sufficient. It is a little depressing that I missed one of my night with my girls because I was too sick. But I would have been in big trouble if I would have been there alone with Tye.

I am hoping my tummy feels better in the next few hours so that I can just rest tomorrow. Hopefully Tye's will be short-lived too.
