Last night my son Jack wasn't really acting like himself, didn't eat much dinner, said his tummy hurt and then bam around 1000pm as he was going to bed he puked all over the place. Immediate panic for me. Tom came up and dealt with the chunks and the bedding and I dealt with Jack...poor baby.
Turns out my sister Megan who was also here yesterday also was puking last night....and no they didn't eat anything the same - its the flu.
So fast forward to today, I am totally panic stricken as I always am when one of my kids has the stomach flu. I feel like I am getting sick, even though I'm probably not. All I can smell is puke even though its all cleaned and I've lysoled everything and washed all the bedding. Jack is fine today and he always has been my puker so I should know not to get so worked up. Anyway I'm totally off food today - I only had a handful of carrots around 1000am and just now I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup- the real stuff, not my homemade so lots of sodium and some crackers for just a bit more sodium. Still feeling kind of gross but I know its just in my head.
I didn't go to the gym today. Rita had suggested yesterday that I take today and Sunday off to rest which is fine since I am crazy sore from yesterdays workout.
Supper tonight I have planned grilled shrimp with garlic and tomatoes on lettuce wraps with roasted asparagus and quinoa but at this point I can't even think about food.
I bought the kids the movie Rise of the Guardians so we are going to have a movie afternoon and then hopefully I can think of dinner again.
