Last Tuesday night we ate at El Pollo Loco (no surprise right). About 45 mins. after I ate I told Scott that I didn't feel right. I didn't know if I really felt sick, or if I was dehydrated or if I was still hungry..you know..sometimes it's hard to distinguish those feelings. Anyways I went to bed at 9 like normal and at 12 I woke up and threw up. At 1 I pucked again. Did that for about another 4 times. I was drained by morning. Scott came in to tell me he was leaving for work at around 7 and I told him I couldn't even sit up. I was dizzy, sick..felt horrible. Felt almost as bad as when I had mastitis. I told Scott that there was no way I could watch the kids today. He quickly got Wendy to watch the kids. (Scott's sister) and she so willingly did it. I owe her a million thank yous.. Before he left he got me a glass of ice water and another glass of sprite. Anyways after everyone left the house there I was all alone. At around 11 I went to take a drink of water and it was gone. I sat up in bed and quickly realized that I was still very dizzy, and nauseous. I put my two feet down on the ground and told myself that I could make it to the kitchen and once I was there that I could sit down. That is what I did. Made it down there and sat down on a chair. I looked at the water dispenser and finally got up the courage to get over there and fill up and immediately went back to the bed, not really feeling so hot by now. As I layed there in bed I felt helpless. By 9 that night I was sitting up in bed and by the next day I was back to normal. The reason for this post is for a couple of reasons.
First..no mom should ever have to get sick.
Second..I am so glad that I am healthy and don't have an illness that puts me in bed all the time..
Third...being sick made me realize how much I still needed my mom..or wanted my mom to look after me when I am sick. Five years ago when I was in Arkansas getting my face surgery there was only 2 people that I wanted there more than anything and that was Scott and my mom. There is nothing that feels better than your mom taking care of you and I hope I can pass that on to my own two kids.

Gosh Shawna! Was that the El Pollo Loco on Yucaipa Blvd? I love that place! Those experiences really make me thankful too for my health!! Love the pic of Chase on your blog!! Why did you have to have face surgery? We had a great time camping last weekend in San Clemente. The weather was absolutely PERFECT!
I don't think anything is as bad as having mastitis. I literally thought I was dying. It's a good thing no one else got sick. I hate when I don't feel well and my kids are sick too. It is hard being away from family when your sick, you have to just suck it up and work through the agony. One time I was dragging myself across the kitchen floor to make lunch for my kids when I was like you, puking my brains out. I couldn't even stand-up.
