In like a lion...

Isn't there something about March coming in like a lion and out like a lamb? Well the lion is in full force and it's disguised as the stomach flu.

Last week I decided to take Dave on March 1 to a Blazer game in Portland as part of his 12 dates of Christmas. (it's a date night once a month that I plan) So we had his mom come stay with the kids for the night and went to the game and then spent the night at the Heathman Hotel. Kinda weird to spend the night at a hotel instead of my parents but we were after all on a date.

We picked up Abby from school and took her to meet Grandma in Tacoma. Not five minutes after we left she started to throw up and did so the rest of the night. Sad Sad Sad. I hate it when my kids are sick. I thought she was having car sickness, but nope, turns out to be the stomach flu. So we get home, of course abby is feeling better. We have a great night of Puss and Boots.

Saturday arrives and the boys go shooting and us girls hang out and work on some house things. That night we go see The Lorax. Cute movie. The family enjoyed it. Then guess what? Yep...kid number 2 gets it. In this case kid 2 is Sydney not Jacob. I thought we were doing good since she only got sick once. Yay!! Not so lucky she was worse the next night. So by the time Monday rolls around she has to miss school.

Monday Night or actually Tuesday morning kid number 3 gets it. That would be Jacob. I see a little pattern here. He was so sick for all of Tuesday. Today Wednesday he was better but still stayed home from school.

As I look at the time frames and patterns involved in this yucky bug, my calculations predict that Noah is next and it should be tonight. I'm wondering if I should take a nap now? And if this is correct it means Dave will get it next with me bringing up the rear. The worst part is he is supposed to go out of town. So he might be sick at his meetings and I'll be sick while he's gone. Boooo!!!!

But as Dave told me... I am not getting sick. I refuse to. So I'm going to hope and pray that the rest of us get out of getting the bug. I've been lysoling like crazy. I'm sure that's not a word. But I just invented it. :) So maybe that will help.

I'm also going to hope that the rest of the month gets better, because right now I'm not really liking the first week.
