As I was laying on the bathroom floor this past week, I said I would give ANYTHING- N-E-THING to feel better. I was out of this world miserable. I swore I would cherish every bite of food, and I would be ecstatic to be back to a normal bathroom routine.
Now that I am back on solid food, and my body is getting back to normal, I am so thankful for every little thing. I am so happy that I am feeling better, and that I was better in time for Aidyn's party. :) Thank you Jesus!
I think I forgot to update you on just WHY I was sick..... Here, I thought I just had the regular old flu. I was cursing my luck, as I sent my cousin out in search of Airborne, gator aid, vitamins, and anything else to flush it out of my system! When she got to the local Walmart, she stopped by the Pharmacy. As she was telling the pharmacist about my situation, the lady stopped her, and said that it sounded like I had food poisoning. She asked if I had eaten out anywhere recently. When my cousin told her that I had eaten at the subway in walmart, the pharmacist said.. "Wow, another one of the ladies that works in the pharmacy department just got food poisoning from there!" WHA?!
As soon as I heard this I promptly called subway and filed a complaint. I was very polite, but wanted to make sure that they figured things out before another person got sick. They took down everything I ate, and they were not nearly as compassionate or nice as they should have been. As we were finishing up, the young teenage boy said: "musta' been the mayo."
I'm assuming it was the common denominator in all the cases. YUCK-ATTACK!
Part of me was relieved, because I knew the sooner I got it out of my system, the faster I would be over it. The flu could have lasted MUCH longer.
It still will be quite some time before I go to another subway- no amount of Mayo is worth going through THAT again. *ugh*
Even still, I am so thankful that I am feeling all better, and that I am able to eat again. Speaking of which.... there is some spinach and artichoke dip in the fridge that is calling my name... :)
Hope ya'll are staying healthy, and enjoying your Monday!

A bad case of the HORRIBLES!
*LOUD SCREAM INSERTED HERE*
Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Here is the list:
1. I have something wrong with my butt. Thats as far as I am going to go. Its gross.. I am best friends with preparation H.. and well GROSS!
2. I got diaherria yesterday. You better believe that was SO much fun. Esp. because of number one! At one point I was on the floor bawling. I was in so much pain.
3. I threw up. I hate throwing up. Gross.
4. I made my self drink pink pepto bismol. (gag) That only made my puke turn pink.
5. I am supposed to be leaving for Iowa for Aidyns Birthday part. :( I don't know if that's going to happen.
6. Aidyns birthday shirt NEVER got in the mail! Which means NO train shirt for his TRAIN Birthday party.... REALLY!?!?! REALLY?!?! ugh!
7. I am not packed. At all. No laundry done!
8. My room is a mess.
9. I didn't make Aidyns cake. I ordered one. (yesterday-even before I got sick!) Does that make me a horrible mother? Oh well, it's better then no cake!
10. I didn't make the train cookies, I was going to hand out at his party.
11. In fact NOTHING is getting done that was supposed to get done.
12. I am feeling better.. but I am scared to eat. I ate soup this morning.. now its a waiting game. Am I gonna crap it out?!
13. I am really hoping things get better, but at this point, I just want to burry myself under mounds of blankets, and disappear.
14. I haven't been able to visit your blogs OR comment. That makes me sad!
15. I just want pizza.
THE END....
I feel a little better now. Just pray! I really don't want to ruin/miss Aidyn's Birthday.

Sleepless nights, cuddles, and pink eye.
I know that most first blogs should be traditional, in the fact that I state that this is my first blog, and yada yada, shareing a little bit about me....but I suppose you'll get to know me little by little as you read my blogs. Not to mention that my life is a chaotic, and I need time to pour my crazy life out for all to read. Somehow its theraputic.
Yesterday, as I was driving home from working at group home #1 (I work at two..) enjoying my long forty minute drive (I drive slow on purpose...that and I got a ticket less then a month ago. stupid cop.) scanning the radio for some tune... soaking in the sun. Praying that spring will come faster, and snow will melt, and hateing that I had to set my clock an hour ahead the night before. Then I decided to call the ex. Yes, during my blissful relaxing car ride, that I usually use to call friends and family (that i tend to get along with), crank country music, sing off key, and take time to myself, I made the stupid decision to call my ex. Not just any ol' ex... my babys daddy. He then promptly told me that there was a quote unquote "bank error" and so child support was not put into my account. *sigh*. Not a big deal, had I not paid an extra large amount to try and get a inch closer to paying off one of my credit cards. So for 24 hours I freaked out about whether or not i'd have tons of over draft fees. yuck. I hate money. I hate babys daddys that dont call the day they find out that the money that was supposed to be in my account wasnt going to be there, and then somehow blames it on me, and most of all I hate that I ruined my theraputic car ride.
So then..... well then I got home and my beautiful blue eyed boy had two big pink puffs around his eyes. Nasty green goop on his eye lashes and in the corner of his eyes. Leading to my very fist encounter with pink eye. *sigh* i blame daycare. I couldnt get my hands on him fast enough. I just wanted to cuddle him and give him kisses. I felt so bad. Luckily he loves g-ma and g-pa as much as mommy.. (well almost ;) ) I then tried to call in some favors from my co-workers of group home #2 so I could stay home that night with my little man. Of course all that "you scratch there back, they'll scratch yours" crap my manager told me when they hired me was full of it. Cuz no body would work for me, and no body had a real good excuse. So an hour and a half later I was back out the door to work again. It always hurts my heart to leave my boy.
I got home around 9:10 after working in a chaotic group home by myself. Sick of bickering and drama. Ready for my relaxing "full size" bed. Ready for sleep. Sweet dreams.. filled with hot passionate love making with an exotic foreigner. That never happened either. *sigh* Instead my sweet little boy was still up. Usually spending time with him is my favorite part of the day. What isnt my favorite part of the day is my sweet little boy sick. He was so uncomfortable, and his poor little eyes were even more pink and goopy. We spent the next few hours up, watching childrens movies, and cuddling. Even though he was in pain and sick, he' was all to eager to watch baby einstein and dora. For the hundreth time. He eventually fell asleep... by this time.. I'M WIDE AWAKE! I watch 3/4 of a movie before passing out.
I was up several times through out the night, but all and all got more sleep then I thought I would. I rescheduled my in home patients for today, and me and my little man spent the entire day together. It was so nice having a day off. My baby's daddy called, after getting everything figured out. I called the bank. No bank errors. Everything worked out for the best. We even had a nice conversation, with friendly banter and chatting about the new things Aidyn has done. He seems genuinely interested, and excited to have him... I'm not ready to let him go again....
Tomorrow is off to work again, and luckily my scheduled shift is for the evening, so grandma can watch aidyn again. Back to chaos again. Even though my little man was sick today, it was still really nice spending time with him. Maybe we need to take a sick day every month. As long as there is no puke involved.
