New Years!

Where I wanted to be...


Where I was...


These did not help!


This was my New Years!!! How was yours????? I hope everyone had a better New Year's than Derek and I. Even though Auntie Patty was here and we should have been having a great time counting down the time to the end of the first decade of 21st century, we did not:(
It was really such a sad week! On Monday night Derek was headed up to bed when Emma went, "Daddy!" From that moment it was all downhill. She was up all night throwing up, watching Sherk and laying with me on the couch. Finally, for what seemed like forever to come, Tuesday morning, she stopped and we thought it was done. Patty headed down to Emilee's that morning to see the kids before she left. Then BAMMMMM, 12:30 am I got SICK!!!! Six hours in the bathroom, Derek had to stay home from work on Wednesday to take care of the kids while I slept for about 24 hours. However, on Wednesday Patty came back, then BAMMMM she was sick! She went to the ER after a few hours in the bathroom. I thought I was done on Thursday, NOPE I was not! Thursday night it was another 6 hours in the bathroom! Derek did not even give me a kiss because we had no idea what I had caught! IT SUCKED!! So, by Friday morning I was still feeling like crap and nothing stayed down, I was dehydrated, so I went, "screw it, off to the ER." I was thinking it was going to be so packed but I got in and out of there in 2 hours exactly! Of course I knew there was nothing they could really do for me, but I just needed to be hydrated. They filled me with 3 bags of fluids and took some blood and off I went. After that I was able to keep things down, the toilet was no longer my second home and now that it is Saturday I am feeling golden. I really hope that everyone had a better New Year's than we did, but I do have to say, "good job Derek, you were a champ!"
