Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck...

It seems as if every week someone different in the family is sick. We will get everyone well for a couple of days, and then someone else comes down with something. Yesterday morning Angela woke up throwing up. She continued about every half hour until noon, and then didn't for a few hours. She took a nap for a few hours and then was sitting on my lap at dinner time (she still didn't feel great) and threw up again. I had something going on that night so I left while she was getting cleaned up in the bathtub, and Rich said she didn't throw up again. She went to bed at the kids bedtime (an unusual occurance- she is usually a night owl) and we didn't hear from her until about 10:30 pm when she woke up throwing up again. Again 1/2 hour later she was throwing up, and then again in another 1/2 hour...

We decided to make a bed for her in our room since we can't hear her really well in her room and didn't want her to throw up in her sleep and lay in it... (it looked like she had a little bit the previous morning).

She then slept well for a while. Angela woke up at 4am and was hungry so I sat out in the living room with her for a little over 1 1/2 hours while she ate some crackers and then finally went back to sleep. I decided that I could go back to sleep and then be extremely tired (since I went to bed at midnight- when she was up throwing up) from only getting another 1 1/2 hours of sleep, or I could just go ahead and go exercise.

So I did. I only had an hour before I needed to be back home for Rich to go to work, but I got a quick 30 min on the elliptical, and I made it through almost the entire weight machine circuit. I didn't want to wait for the last two machines that people were on...

I KNOW I'll crash this afternoon. Hopefully Angela will take a nap and I can lay down and get one with her then since I really only got a slim 4 hours of sleep (4 hours from when I crawled into bed and when I crawled out- I never go straight to sleep- it usually takes about 10-15 minutes, and I woke up and heard Angela getting a glass of water in the kitchen for about 5 minutes before I crawled out of bed to try and get her to lay down again).
