I’m sitting her this evening, the house is finally quiet and I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday.  It seems like it should be Friday by now.  

After a wonderful Father’s day Ben decided to get the flu bug that Becca had last Wednesday night and again on Friday night.   Little Becca only threw up twice, but Ben, he threw up ALL NIGHT LONG!   He didn’t actually feel better until about 3:00 on Monday afternoon.  He felt better and so we thought everything was ok.   He went to Bible Camp on Tuesday and was excited to go back today, except for one thing – he threw up this morning, just 5 minutes after Walter left.   Yes, the parent who handles puke had left and I had to put on my big girl panties and deal with it.  I only left the room a few times gagging, but I kept it together and didn’t puke myself.  Praise the LORD!

So this morning I had to cancel Becca’s haircut because I didn’t think Ben could stay in the car and watch a movie without throwing up everywhere while she got her hair done.  (Don’t think I’m a bad mom for even considering it, it wouldn’t have been hot, the police station is right across the street, the van door would have been open and so would the door to the beauty shop.)   I called in to work and canceled Ben’s ride to Bible Camp. 

Around 10:30 or so Ben asked to get up off the couch and get dressed.  I knew he was feeling better when around 12:00 he asked for something to eat.  He’s been fine every since.

So while it seems like it should be Friday there is still a lot left to do in this week.   Tomorrow the kids go to Michelle’s while I go to work.   This year we are just giving up on Bible Camp, I don’t want him to go and then have him not feel well and be sick on Friday.   Tomorrow afternoon I have to go over to Redding for a meeting and then get us ready to go camping Sunday afternoon.
