Seriously, how long is it going to last?

First it started with Shayna. Sore throat, fever, cough. Then my Dad got it. Then Britton, then my Mom and finally me. But when I got it I just had to get the stomach flu on top of it. I guess I felt I had to out do everyone else.

We worked really hard on getting my Parents and Britton feeling well enough that we could go to the RSL game last Saturday. We succeeded and I think we all had a great time. I know my Mom and Britton didn't feel the best but they were troopers and made it through. I'm so glad we were able to go because it was the last game of the season.

I was so sick on Monday that I missed Britton's parent/teacher conference. I hate that I missed it. I felt so bad for not going but Britton let me know that it would be ok. I knew that he would have a good report and there would be nothing to talk about but I love hearing other people say how wonderful my child is. I was really disappointed I missed out. Tyler went and got to hear all the amazing things Britton has done so far this year. Britton is one smart kid.

I started with my nasty sickness in the middle of the night on Saturday/Sunday morning. I missed two days of work and I still feel like crap. My Parents are still struggling to get better and now Shayna has a rash all over her body. It looks like we will be taking her to the Doctor for the second time since this all started.....YIPPEE!

So anyway, the reason I am writing about all of this is because I owe a HUGE Thank you to Tyler. He really deserves the Husband/Dad of the year award. I layed on the couch for three days straight and he took care of everything. He made sure the kids were well fed, bathed, had their homework done, got their half hour of reading in, made it to Parent/Teacher conference, got the kids clothes ironed for school, took Shay to ballet, went grocery shopping and all the while was taking care of me by getting me drinks and medication and making sure I was covered with blankets and getting me the small amount of food I could eat. He even went and bought me a smoothie. And you know what, he never complained, not once. He is such an amazing Husband and Dad. I owe him BIG TIME!!

Right now I'm just hoping and praying he doesn't end up with this.

Thanks for everything Tyler, you really are the BEST!!!
