Things I've Learned While Being Sick....

1. As soon as you finishing washing the sheets and put the clean ones on the bed, your 5 year old will puke on them again within minutes.

2. Orange Gatorade stains light grey carpet.

3. Pre-made Jello is expensive....6 small servings for $4. But worth it when your stomach's upset.

4. Always keep Gatorade, chicken noodle soup and saltines in the house- you never know when you'll need them!

An update...after my post on Monday Kylie started puking too, in my bed, all over my bed and the carpet, the pillows, etc. Yuck. And just as soon as I put clean sheets on the bed she puked again on the bed.

I called in sick Monday and kept Kylie home. It's now Tuesday afternoon and my stomach still feels funky. I absolutely had to go to the grocery store today as we were out of the girls' milk, and I needed more Gatorade and chicken noodle soup. I felt very weak in the store, felt like I was going to pass out. I was feeling nauseous and the grocery store is the WORST place you can go to when you feel that way. Just seeing all the food, and smells....I'm surprised I didn't hurl right in the store.

Right now Steve took Kylie and Sophie to Skyline Chili for dinner with his parents who are in town. They were going to stay at our house a few days, but with our stomach ailments they decided to get a hotel room...good idea.
