This week was already going to be kinda rough. The only time we got out of the house was on Monday and that was a very abbreviated trip because *someone* decided to throw a fit in the middle of the grocery store. I’ll give you a hint…that *someone*’s name both starts and ends with A and she’s 2! A quick check of the weather told me that we wouldn’t be getting out again this, because we were supposed to get snow and wind chills of 25-30 below zero! No thank you!

So I braced myself for a week of cabin fever and kiddo’s bouncing off the walls. Little did I know, I’d have to deal with a lot more than that!!

On Tuesday night, Kelvin threw up all over his bed and started having diarrhea. I was up nearly all night changing diaper after diaper. Not fun!

Luckily, that’s the only time he threw up. I can handle diarrhea, but throw up is really nasty. I’m lucky if I can clean up the mess without adding to it myself.

Unfortunately, Kelvin’s diarrhea was only the beginning. On Wednesday night, Ava started throwing up all over her bed. It got all over everything, and even went behind her bed. I’m so thankful Chad cleaned that up! My stomach could not have handled it.

A few hours later, I started throwing up. It was chaos….all night long. Both Ava and I were puking our guts out. Kelvin decided to boycott sleep and just toddled back and forth between the person hanging their head over the toilet (me), the person in the bath (Ava) and the person changing sheets and cleaning up puke (Chad). Not one of our better nights!

Yesterday was pretty rough, too. No more throwing up, but everyone was still dealing with diarrhea. My goal was just to make it through the day (which I did…barely).

Today, Kelvin is the only one still dealing with diarrhea, but all of us are still fighting to get our energy back. Hopefully next week will be a better week. The flu should be behind us, and we’re supposed to have temperatures in the 30′s, and even 40′s on some days! It’s sad that 30′s seems warm, but it sounds wonderful right now! I can barely wait!
