when i woke up this morning, i knew exactly what emma was feeling when she woke up thursday morning.
wow. it was so bad. every inch of my body was aching and hurting and my lungs felt so heavy and when i would cough, i sounded like an 80 year old who's smoked many packs of cigarettes every day of their life. and for the record i have never even smoked one cigarette. then came the ugly. throwing up for about the first half hour solid i was awake.
all the while, emma and noah are telling me 15 things they want to eat, drink, watch on tv, what they want to wear, etc, then noah set the alarm off and the alarm company called... yes... all while i was throwing up into the kitchen trash can.
gross mental picture. i'm sorry. i just didn't want to deprive you of the gory details.
and also to point out how AWESOME it is being a "single" mom with zero help when i'm dying with sickness.
AWESOME.
so, i ate some bread, drank some ginger ale and as soon as i was sure my stomach had calmed to the point that i could safely medicate myself, i downed 800 mg of ibuprophen and a dose of mucinex. then a few hours later... dayquil... and just a few minutes ago, another big dose of ibuprophen.
so, now i feel vaguely human. a little foggy and my brain is not quite as sharp as it is on my best days, but i am at least capable of posting this blog.
the main reason i wanted to post this blog is because i finished these today...
mine and tony's his and hers hats. ha! :) and he HAS to wear his. ;) like i said... part of the marriage contract. lucky for him, it's super awesome.
here's me modeling mine.
trust me when i tell you that you do not. want. to. see. my. face. at this moment.
i look very droopy with frizzy un-blow-dried hair and my face is super splotchy with no make-up. yuck.
emma also wanted a pink version of the kerchief i made last weekend, so here's that as well.
hopefully tomorrow will be a better, less sick day. however, noah still hasn't had this virus, i'm assuming it's the flu, so i'm sure it'll be coming after him at any moment. i just hope i'm well by the time he starts with it so i can actually function to take care of him. : /
