Hello there! Hope all is well and that you had the best holiday ever! Is it just me, or did this year completely FLY by!?! After this past week, i am beyond ready for a fresh start!
Apparently Santa thought I was a naughty girl because this year, for Christmas, he gave me a cold. Not just any cold. The knock down, drawn out, down for the count kind… and, man, it was not fun at all. There was no “Rocking around the Christmas Tree” or “Jingle Bell Rock”-in over here. The excitement of the Christmas build up quickly disappeared & before I could blink, the holidays were gone. Today is the 7th day and I’m still not over it, but luckily the worst part has passed.
So, on the 23rd, we were doing our normal ‘run around crazy, last minute spazzing, while getting things together’ out and about adventure. When we got home I started feeling a little nauseous. We watched some football and went to bed. I really didn’t think much of it because my body is a weirdo sometimes. I woke up around 4am and just knew I was gonna get sick. I headed into the bathroom to wait it out. No sooner than the feeling finally arrived, here comes my 9 year old running in to steal the toilet. (Bless his heart.) I ran to the doorway of our room to wake my husband and then rushed downstairs as fast as I could to our other bathroom.
I spent the next 48 hours in a state of BLUR. Thats the only way I can describe it. I was exhaused, miserable and just a hot freaking mess. I slept and threw up. That’s all. Zach would wake me up to make me drink (sip) pedialyte and I would cringe bc nothing would stay down.
So, poor Hubs (aka. “Husband of The Year”, aka. “Santa Freaking Claus”) packed up all the babies by himself on Christmas Eve and took them over to his Mother’s house to visit with family. (Even Jace, our 9 year old who was still sick – he was at least functioning) Then came home and finished up the kids & our families Christmas gifts, along with tidying up the house for company in the a.m. (He slept 2 1/2 hours)
Everyone came over to our house Christmas morning. I sat through presents but that was about the best I could do. I missed all the events that evening as well.
Poor Jace got sick again night before last. Four days later! What is this evil funk and how do I make it stop!?! Online, I’ve missed posting content & I’m so behind on collabs. I have ZERO drive to do anything right now and feel like total poo!
So, if you’ve been wondering where I am.. I’m here. Hiding under the covers & praying that we are all healthy by the time 2020 gets here! 🤞🏻
❤ Bianca
