oh my...the stomach flu

For those of you who are my faithful readers. he he!! how cute! I know I have like zero people reading this. Anyway, if you were wondering were in the world was I. I'll tell you, I have been sick with one thing or the other literally since Halloween. The latest of my illnesses... drum roll please, The Stomach flu!! aaaah
How I got it you may wonder, well, my child came home from school one Friday with fever and vomiting. I took him to the doctor and the doctor said it was a stomach virus...jeez, u think I thought to myself. 3 days later he was feeling better. However I somehow got it 1 million times worse than he did Thankfully because had he gotten the flu instead he would have been hospitalized. I will spare you the details of my misery but it was not pretty, the fact that I am always running on reserves and don't eat and sleep right only made it worse for me. My doctor told me had I waited a couple of more hours and she would have had to hospitalize me, I was extremely dehydrated. I was in bad shape and life goes on anyay, thankfully my husband took care of me and the kids and I was able to recuperate without having to worry about the kids. I had to stay away from my 4 month old cause God forbid he got it then we would be in trouble.
I am doing much better now and Hopefully will have many stories to tell you later on.

I thought I was back to blogging the last time I wrote, but it just seems like everything is happening all at once and when I got better...my 4 year old got very sick!
Fever and vomiting non the less...I am just ready to cry...really i mean that!
I don't know what is the matter with me?!
between my newborns chronic spitting up and pumpkindoodle throwing up I am so just overwhelmed, I have been thrown up on 6 times in half an hour. aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
lord help me, today i just feel insane
Ok, I'm crying...I cant help it.
ok..ok...you must think I am crazy for acting like this just because my kids are not feeling well.
Ok, I gotta get this off my chest!! ugh

Back Pain.....Back Pain, Anyone???

Holy Jesus, I must go see my Chiropractor bright and early Monday morning!!!
I am in extreme pain...Today, I could not take it anymore and broke down in front of my 4 year old. I tried not to, but the pain was so severe that I just broke down and cried, I feel awful for doing that. My son looked so worried.
He said "Mommy dont cry" "me and the baby are here to take care of you" and that made me so sad, that I had put that kind of worry on my child. So somehow I got a few breaths in and took some Aleve and put on a brave face. I stretched my back muscles and put a heat patch on, nothing seems to make this go away!!
ugh, I would not wish this on anyone
well, gotta go. I cant sit in this chair any longer.
Goodnight

Afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch...

This afternoon, I had a lot of fun with my family. Here is a picture of me and my family..Ta da!!
This a South Florida version of a Pumpkin Patch. Did you really think we have real pumpkin farms out here!! Nope...Oranges yes...Pumpkins NOOOOOOO!!! It's Florida and I love it.
I grew up in New York so I'm a Northerner at heart and I miss the Fall season, watching the leaves turn color and the cold weather, all those beautiful things. So I try to do a lot of fall oriented activities with the kids (my oldest one anyway!!) and teach them about the changing seasons.
This picture was made possible by the kindness of strangers who offered to take the pic for us since they saw that we were taking turns taking pictures with the kids. I thank them whoever they are...you guys make a cute couple, who knows maybe one of them will stumble onto my blog....
I told my oldest son to pick any pumpkin he liked so we can bring home and carve.....

After carefully examining the crop...this is what my darling picked. Ahh yes, I almost forgot.
The Hat!! his school had a pretend airplane trip and he had to bring luggage and pack it with clues pertaining to his destination. My son said he was going to NYC,so we packed. He went to school all decked out in his pilots cap and his junior wings. He takes after his daddy!! he he





Now, here is my baby...
It's his first Halloween and we are enjoying doing all this all over again with him. I am extremely happy to have him and since I dont intend to have anymore children, I'm trying to take it all in and not miss a detail.
"Isn't he cute!!!!!!!"
I am in love with my children and I feel so blessed everyday of my life when I look at the beautiful family God has given me the privilege to have. Now, I look forward to Halloween and trick or treating with my hubby and the boys.
Till next time dear bloggers...muah
