Ok, Monday night My one year old is throwing up all night, Tuesday my soon to be four year old wakes up with a stiff neck - horribly painful. Wednesday, he has a stomach ache and a reflux attack so I keep him home from school again. Thursday he feels ok and goes to school. Luckily , I get in almost all the shopping for his birthday party on Saturday. Lasst night, right after supper, he begins throwing up and continues to do so until about 11:00. Of course, he's only 4 and never made it to the bathroom. I finally had an understanding of what the janitor at school had to go through.
Wakes up in the middle of the night to throw up.

Wakes this morning, has a half a pancake for breakfast and ... well you know.

Anyhow, his birthday party is tomorrow. We rented a room at his preschool and his whole class is coming! I still have shopping to do, but I can't take him out. So .... I am stuck!

Thanks for letting me whine. I *know* many of you are dealing with worse problems than mine, so I feel a little childish venting about this, but I just have to.

It just seems like whenever I plan something, I can't get it done. Does wonders for my self esteem...

{{{{Ame}}}} It is so hard when everyone is sick. I hope he feels better for his party tomorrow. Last winter, it seemed like there was always someone in our house who was sick. We have been lucky so far this year, no one has been really sick. I am knocking on wood!

Hang in there. I hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Vent away! I've BTDT and it's NO fun! {{{HUGS}}} I hope your son is better and you don't end up postponing his party.

Whine away! I've had too many instances to count of planning something and then having things come up (no pun intended ) that interfere with it.
I have since started taking the phrase "Go with the flow" to heart.

I hope he is better tomorrow and whatever this illness is goes away before the holidays.

Happy Birthday to your son!

Ame,

I have a good idea, let's runaway okay?

How about somewhere really warm with no husbands, no children and a few cabana boys. Beach, sun, drinks. We can sleep all day if we want to. Go out for dinner every night. Swim in the pool listen to the ocean, and shop, shop shop for shoes!

You pick the place and I'll meet you there.

Oh Ame, my thoughts exactly! I don't have any sick kids right now, but I can relate to that feeling all too well. {{hugs}} This too shall pass!!

Heaventree, can I stow away in your suitcase??? Please?

I'm so sorry, Ame. It does seem like things always come up at the most inconvenient times. I hope everything comes together for the party.

What a nice dream, Heaventree! Let's go!

Thanks everyone for the hugs and support!

Luckily, he was fine for his party and we had a great time.
