Update on the yuckiness factor

Ok after talking to several people I think we have been struck by the flu this year. It looks like several people have already this year.Eve came home after throwing up at school yesterday. Cole came home from school yesterday talking about how he left athletics while they were lecturing how to squats right(don't miss those days) he said he thought he was going to throw up he just sat in the hall for a little bit until the feeling went away. I asked him if he asked to leave he said no he thinks they could see it on his face. I guess so generally you leave like that and they start yelling. But he is a good kid. So maybe they weren't worried.

Malcolm Came home had his christmas concert last night and I just could not get myself to go. I felt so bad. Mom took him and they really enjoyed the concert from all the different bands. Which I am glad.

So while they were gone I sat with Alex, Sebastian and Eve and watched Polar Express. It would have been 10 times better with Hot chocolate. But none of us could really handle it. go figure. Alex and Sebastian went straight to bed. wow which rarely happen. They were litterally out by the time their head hit the pillow.

I was laying in my bed and in comes Cole. "Mom I don't feel good... My head hurts, my stomach hurts, etc...." Cole is not a complainer. Generally when he is sick which is rare he puts himself in the bed and you don't see him until he feels better. But he has felt bad all week so this is unusual for him and I think he doesn't know what to do with it. I laughed and told him how I am not used to this. He laid in my bed for a while and we watched tv. Malcolm came in for a little bit. Then I sent them to bed. When I went to check on them. Of course they were playing xbox. Boys!! I looked at Cole who was shivering and still was wearing sweats. He says I know I don't feel good but if he is up I have to be too. Yeah whatever. Being mom the nurse he's mom feel this on my abdomen. Do you think there is something wrong..Then next thing I know he is jumping out of his bed because he is hot and takes his sweats off down to his boxers. I am Cole really stripping to your boxers with me here. Yeah your just my mom. ok... There are those moments when you have a small space of time with just one or two of the kids that makes it really worth all the late nights, puking,working 2 jobs. This was one of them. I said something and not using proper medical jargon and they corrected me you mean your colon mom. Yeah I don't know if that is because they both want to be doctors or because Cole has been reading medical books for fun. He hates to read but likes reading my disease books.

I still have 3 kids home today. Malcolm, Cole, Eve. Cole told me yesterday he WAS going to school. I told him I would make that decision in the morning when I went in to check on him even in his sleep he looked horrible. So I let him sleep and he is still sleeping. Eve they said had to be throw up free for 24 hours. Even if it was a migraine that caused it. Malcolm still was feeling dizzy and said he wouldn't touch the xbox today and that is how bad he felt. He knows he also misses his christmas parade tomorrow.
I have an appointment with the surgeon here in a little bit so we will see what he says hopefully I can drive again. I am still a lot more sore than I thought I would be. Now here I am with my back, neck and head hurting from the wreck. I never knew you could hurt this much after an accident. Boy have I spent this whole time compaining. SOrry....

Not my intentions just thought I would update the yuckiness factor. Maybe that will mean we won't get it later. hmmm what ya think? I will say this this is the first year I didn't get my flu shot and for a nurse that is a big no no...
Well off to the doctor.
