My Poor Stomach!

For the last few days there has been a sickness going on in our family. Kylee, Kearney and Ireland were throwing up all over the place. For two nights I got no sleep staying up with them as the took turns throwing up. It was SO NOT FUN!!!!! My poor dad got sick as did my sister, Jayci. I felt bad for all of them, but then yesterday I really felt bad for them. I got the same thing! I felt like dying!!!!! The thing is, we (Jayci and I) had promised to take our kids to the Davis County Rec Center. I so did not want to go. I just wanted to lay on the couch and be miserable. However, I did not want to listen to my kids cry about it for days and I wanted to spend some time with Jayci. So, as grumpy as I was (I have learned that I am very grumpy and have no patience when I am sick) I loaded up the kids and headed up north. We got there and the kids were having a great time. I, however, could not seem to sit still. I kept moving and fidgeting to try and feel better. It didn't work. Jayci suggested we go over and get a sprite to see if it would settle my stomach. We walked over to the concession stand and I had Jayci get my drink while I walked quickly to the bathroom. I didn't run because I was afraid that it would make me throw up faster. I finally made it to the women's locker room (I almost went in to the men's) and barely made it in to the stalls. Now, I was not planning on this detour, so I did not have shoes on. YUCK! That alone would have made me throw up. It was disgusting! It gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

So, I finished emptying my stomach and headed back out to our spot on the grass. I tried drinking some soda to help settle my stomach and about 20 minutes later I was leaning over the grass getting rid of all the soda that had entered my stomach. It was so embarrassing! Some guy came over while I was kneeling and heaving to see if I was okay. Another lady brought me over her ice water to keep. Thanks lady! It was a lifesaver. Thank goodness I had not eaten anything. Yuck! So, Jayci and I went in to the pool to help cool me off. It seemed to make me feel a bit better while I was in it. After a bit we decided to take the kids home, so we rounded most of them and our gear up. We went inside to get the rest of them. While there Jayci and her little girl and some of my kids decided to go down the slide one more time. While sitting there waiting I knew another round was coming. I had Kylee stay by my purse and ran to go to the bathroom. There was no way that I was going to make it, so I stopped by a garbage can. While I was in the process of being sick (it was major projectile vomiting) two stupid teenage boys walked past and said, in quite derisive voices, "NICE!". I so wanted to turn my head to the left and throw up on their legs. In fact, as I write this, I wish that I had done that! Can you imagine how great that would have been?! haha Okay, so now you can see the not so nice part of me. But hey, I didn't do it (although I really wish that I had) so that is the nice part of me!

Now, in case you are worrying about me, don't. I am feeling much better today. In fact, I am so good I am going to head off to a shrimp boil tonight! So glad I was sick yesterday and not today! Shrimp, crab and spice, here I come!
