I spoke too soon....me and my big mouth

Jase and I joke alot about the fact he cant say too much, because he tends to jinx things.  Well, for work stuff anyway.  He was on ship, returning from - Thailand I think it was, or maybe the Phillipeens?  Anyway, the seas had been pretty calm, and the last 24 hours or so before they were due in, Jase says "Wow, we've really gotten to enjoy some pretty calm seas.  This ride hasn't been bad at all."  Then, yup, anyone that knows us knows what happened next.... a seriouse storm and the boat tossed about till nearly everyone tossed their cookies.  yuck.  So he tries really hard to watch his words.

When it comes to yard work, I've learned to watch what I say.  With OUT Fail, if I say - Oh, I'm SO glad I've got tomorrow off, I can get the bushes trimmed, or the lawn mowed -- It will RAIN.  Seeing we were in sever droubt conditions when we arrived, lots of people wished I'd said that more the fall we arrived here.  Anyway, So I now just wait on each day and run out to do yard work when I can sneak it in.

So I said I needed the fun to begin.  Yeah - I've been experiencing the WRONG kind of "FUN".  I got Randy off to seminary yesterday morning, and about 30 seconds after he got out of the car, I felt a killer wave of nausa.  Within minutes I was fighting off the watery mouth that let me know, no matter how hard I fight it, I was NOT about to win the battle of being VERY very sick, VERY very quickly.  I made it in the house, to the bathroom, and the past 30 hours have been a big blur.  I feel like I've done a million situps AND have given birth.  Sorry guys, you'll not have a clue how much I'm REALLY saying my body hurts...lucky you actually.

So, I know Randy, Curtis, and Robbie have been sick - they're all home due to the manditory -- 24 hours after throwing up, rule.  I know I had to bring Craigan home about 20 minutes after he got to school yesterday, but he only threw up right after I got him home, so we fudged our way thru the rule.  Zacky had been sick over the weekend and poped back to normal within a few hours.  The big kids are loving having time to play video games, and yet ME.... I never can have the quick bug the rest of them get, can I?  We all got sick with this about 2 months ago, and I got it HUGE then too.  And got it TWICE, on it's way in AND out, sheesh.  So, just sitting at the computer for the last half hour has me working up a sweat (we thought the fever was gone, dang it).  I have to say, if any ONE of us in the family HAS to get sick THIS bad, I"m sure glad it's me...and that it happened with my long streak of days off. 

I had wanted one of Jase's nieces to come here to visit for a few weeks to get her in a neutral environment, and to enjoy some extended family time.  I really wish she were here to help on a day like today.  (I'd day I want my Mom, but I wouldn't wish her to fight off this sick...yucky!)

I love my husband, poor guy took the couch and did NOT take his sleep meds so he could tend to the sick family.  He's soooo tired today.  If it weren't for his therapy appointment he'd still be asleep for a nap now that I've dragged my butt out of bed.

Okay everyone, take your vitamins, eat your fruits and veggies, and STAY HEALTHY. :o)   (and say a prayer I can get my house sorted in time for our move....oh boy do I need it if this doesn't go away soon.)
