Ewwww

So as mentioned before my first week of work and the kids I take care of now are both sick.  What is the joys of taking care of sick kids?  There is a 90% chance that you are going to catch what they have.  So yesterday morning around 6 a.m. I rolled over in bed only to be woken up by the all too familiar feeling of needing to puke.  I laid there for a second still slightly asleep thinking to myself "No, I'm not sick.  That can't be".  Only so a minute later I could rush out of bed and barely make it to the bathroom in time.  

It was horrible...

So I tried to call and text J. and C. unsure I would be of much help to them as I kept having to rush to the bathroom what seemed like every 10 minutes.  I could not reach anyone though.  So I sucked it up got dressed and headed to work.  I didn't want to just not show up.  It is only my second week after all.  I ended up having to stop half way there to get sick in the bathroom of a Circle K which was disgusting.  It caused me to be nearly 15 minutes late.  Then not even 5 minutes after I got there I got more sick than I had been all morning in their bathroom.  On top of being overly embarrassed I was begging in my head that she would just let me go home.  Which she did I didn't even ask as soon as I came out J. said she really thought I should go home and she completely understood because she has been sick all morning as well and so had both the kids.

Well relieved just doesn't seem to express how I felt.  I mean I feel terrible and I feel like this is making a horrible impression but since they are all sick as well I am sure that they understand.  =(

So I wasn't able to make it all the way home before I needed to stop again.  I decided to head to my old apartment which lease doesn't end until next month.  I thought it would be nice to have the privacy of my own clean bathroom.  I get there though and surprisingly my Mom is there with her ex husband.  Well I am sure we can all guess the irritation there but there was no turning back.  So for the next half hour the had to listen to me get sick until I was steady enough to make it the rest of the way home.

I have been sick before had the stomach flu, food poisoning.  I have NEVER felt like this before though.  I didn't eat or drink anything yesterday yet I continued to puke every hour despite there being nothing left to get rid of.  It was like I could not control my body to not go through the motions of getting sick.  On top of that I hurt.  Like everything just hurt the bottoms of my feet, to a massive head ache, my stomach feeling like it was trying to collapse on itself and my back screaming at me.  I couldn't stand up or else I needed to get sick and so I spent all day in bed on my back.  Thankfully today I am feeling better.  Still a bit queezy but not in pain anymore and not getting sick.

Back to work on Sunday.  I understand now why the kids felt so bad.  Time to try and get something in my system and start a BRAT diet.  Banana, rice, apples, and toast.  Well maybe not the bananas cuz me thinks they are gross.  But everything else sure.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful Valentines Day and that your health is with you.
