My week in a nutshell....

Where do I start? Let's see, early Sunday morning I woke up so nauseous that I couldn't sleep. I just laid in bed hoping that it would pass. It felt like eternity. I finally just got up and hugged the toilet until I had nothing left inside. I HATE being sick on my stomach!!!! I would rather be sick with anything other than that. All I did Sunday was sleep.
We also found out some terrible news this past week. Britt's Grandma Cody has really started to go downhill. She had gone to the doctor, and her cancer is in the most progressive state. The doctor gave her 2 weeks to a month to live. Please say a prayer for her. She is the most thoughtful and caring person that you would ever meet. I just pray that she doesn't have to suffer.
Monday rolled around and I felt much better. Tuesday, Ashlyn was running a fever and didn't feel well. Wednesday, still running a fever. Her fever would break and then come back. She was pitiful. Britt stayed at home with her all day Wednesday. As for myself, I woke up Wednesday morning at 6:00, and I was in the bathroom sick from 6:00 on. I went on to work, but I felt SOOOO bad. Thank goodness mama Mary Ann, my boss, had some medicine for me to take. It took a while but if FINALLY started working and I felt much better.
Thursday everything went pretty well. It was a little crazy at work, and I had a migranine, but other than that I can't complain. Oh wait, I forgot to mention that when I picked Ashlyn up from the babysitter she had spots all over her face. Some sort of rash. I didn't think much of it at the time.
Now, let me tell you how today has started. If it's any indication of the day ahead I'm in BIG trouble! I woke up at 3:30 am sick again. I was in the bathroom for at least an hour. I took some medicine and finally went back to sleep. I got up a little after 7:00 to get ready for work. At 7:30 the phone rang. It was Britt's dad. Something was wrong with his grandma, and he needed Britt to go out to her house and help her sister ,who had stayed with her last night. So Britt headed over there. I was so worried that something bad had happened. Well, Britt was supposed to take Ashlyn to my Mom's house this morning. It was already 7:40 by this point, and I was going to be majorly late if I had to take Ashlyn all the way to Mom's and then to work. So I called mom and got her out of bed. We arranged for her to meet me at Western Steer to pick Ashlyn up. I got Ashlyn out of bed, and she had bumps ALL OVER HER BODY!!!! It looked like chicken pox, but I know that she's had the chicken pox vaccine, so I didn't know what in the world it was. Now mom not only had to meet me at the crack of dawn this morning, but she also had to take Ashlyn to the doctor.
Mom just called and told me that the doctor said that is was some sort of virus. Maybe like 5th's Disease. This is where you run a fever for a few days and then break out in a rash after the fever has gone away. Crazy huh? The doctor said that the rash means that she is actually getting better, so let's just keep our fingers crossed. She is in a wedding next weekend, so I don't want her having bumps all over her body while walking down the isle in her beautiful dress.
It's only 11:00 now, so I'll keep you posted on any other occurrences that may happen throughout the day.
