I'm back

Okay, technically, I didn't get all of the stuff done on my list. I still need to clean my room and mop my floor. I know what you are thinking - Erin, you had 4 days and you only got 4 things done - 3 of which were done on Wednesday. Its true. Let me 'splain...

Wednesday, I felt pretty crummy, but I still managed to get some of the less strenuous tasks done.

Thursday, I felt really icky. And, Ana came down with something as well. She wouldn't eat anything, and she had the runs all day and I was throwing up all afternoon. Dave had this major test in O-chem, so he was gone most of the day. He still helped me get started on the dishes that night. (Thanks honey!)

Friday, Ana is still sick. Dave took really good care of us, though. He got up with Ana in the morning and let me sleep. Ana threw up on him in the morning and still wouldn't eat anything pretty much all day. She was pretty lethargic. She fell asleep on the living room floor over an hour before her usual bed time and napped again for a few minutes in the evening. (See picture) She had the runs too. But I did manage to get the dishes done (except for a few things.)

Saturday (today), Ana was up at 6:00 am. I tried to put her back to bed at about 6:30, but by 7, she was crying again. Dave got up with her, but she just kept saying, "Mama," and I couldn't sleep hearing those little pleas. So I got up, and she threw up all over. Then I went to our Primary Program Practice, Dave put Ana down for a nap and finished the dishes, and we spent the afternoon watching past episodes of "Chuck" to get caught up with the current episode. Ana seems to be feeling better this afternoon, and she is eating, which is good. I'm pretty tired, and I felt that although my goal isn't completely accomplished, I wanted to blog instead of cleaning up all of our playing cards Ana found earlier this afternoon.

So, I'm only somewhat of a slacker. I am going to get the floor mopped tonight after Ana goes to bed. Next week is a busy week and I want the house to be really clean before we leave so that I don't come home to a mess. It feels good to finally be caught up with the dishes, and to have a clean bathroom. Those were the main priorities. So, now I'm going to enjoy my time checking out your blogs. Happy Blogging!

Don't you love Chuck? Anyway, i think you did good getting some of your goals accomplished. A little is better than nothing, and sick kids are an excuse for nothing getting done.

You can say that again... all of it.

It sounds to me like you got plenty accomplished considering how sick you guys were! It is not fun to have a sick little one, but to be sick yourself on top of that is just plain miserable! I hope you all get feeling better soon. I have to agree with having the house clean for a trip. There's nothing worse than coming home to a messy house, with bags to unpack and laundry to do besides! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
