It still has not ended.

Why can't we get over this. I am so sick of it. Last Wednesday my Grandma came into town and we were all excited to get to spend some time with her. We had all kinds of fun plans but when I got home from work Shayna told me she wasn't feeling very well. She wouldn't eat dinner and about a half hour later she started throwing up. She threw up every half hour until 3:30 in the morning. We finally got a little break until it started happening again at 6:30 am. Needless to say she did not go to school and I did not go to work. I woke Britton up at 7:30 to start getting him ready for school. He couldn't eat his breakfast and was complaining of a tummy ache. I decided to keep him home from school as well which was a good thing because at 8:45 he started to throw up. Friday they were feeling a little better but I kept them home from school just to let them rest. I spent all day. And I mean ALL DAY disinfecting my house. Door knobs, light switches, you name it, it was cleaned. The flue bug really creeps me out so I always go on a disinfecting frenzy. Britton started doing really well and was getting his appetite back so on Saturday afternoon we let him play in his soccer game. Shay still wasn't feeling great but she had not thrown up since Thursday morning so I thought she would be ok to go. We met my parents and Grandma at the game. This is the first time I was able to spend any time with my Grandma since she got here. The teams tied 1-1. Britton scored their only goal. It was a fun game to watch. Very intense. As soon as we got in the car Shayna started throwing up again. I was a bit frustrated at this point because we had a big Thanksgiving meal planned with my Grandma. We won't be here for Thanksgiving, we will be on our way to Nebraska. That's another story for another day....So instead of heading over to my Parent's we went home to rest for a bit. Shay was feeling much better. She said she just had one more bug in her tummy that she needed to get out and since she threw up she thought she would be just fine. So Tyler went out and rented her a movie and we headed over to my parents house and had her lay down to watch her show and we got to visit with Grandma and eat a very delicious Thanksgiving meal. Shayna and Britton were even able to eat some mashed potatoes. At some point in the middle of the night on Saturday Tyler woke up with a terrible sore throat. Sunday morning he wasn't feeling that great and was talking a couple of octaves lower. The kids were doing really well until about 5:00 PM when they came down with a nasty bout of diarrhea. Gross I know but I'm just trying to explain why I am so frustrated and tired. Here we are today, Monday morning and Tyler went to work, the kids went to school even though they don't feel awesome. I'm just waiting for a phone call, and I am at work trying not to puke. Yep. I feel like crap again. I hope I am just feeling like this because I am stressed over the kids not feeling well. We have missed so much work and school this month that I'm a little overwhelmed. I hope that we are all back to normal by Thursday. We sure do have a long ride!

After all that I feel a little better, Thank you blogging world for letting me vent.
