Last Friday afternoon I was ready to take on my to-do list and accomplish a million things before our visit from Dobbie and Papa. All that went out the window when Pumpkin woke up from her nap screaming and throwing up. I spent the next 4 hours holding her and watching helplessly as she continued to vomit every 10-15 minutes. After she had stopped we headed to pick Daddy up from work and I sent him in to the grocery to get some things and noticed that my stomach was uneasy. That uneasiness quickly got worse and turned into the flu like Pumpkin.
Saturday Dobbie, Papa, and one of our nieces were on there way to see us, knowing we were sick and to come at their own risk. I was feeling so out of it that when they arrived I was laying on the couch in my pajamas, not showered and I didn't care one bit.
On Sunday after a flurry of packing and getting meals stocked up for Hubby, we headed with Dobbie and Papa up north to their cabin. They had some things they were wanting to do on it and asked the girls and I to come too. After arriving Dobbie and I headed to Wal-Mart to get some groceries. Half-way through getting our groceries, I found Dobbie leaning on her cart saying, "I don't feel good."
We quickly headed back to find that my niece was sick also. The girls and I quarantined ourselves in a bedroom under the request of Papa who said, "Do not leave this room!" I listened to the sound of sickness most of the night while Papa cared for his two patients. The next morning we decided I should take the girls to Gigi's house until they were feeling better as Peanut still had not gotten sick and we didn't want Pumpkin to get it again.

So instead of spending 3-4 days together we really only got to spend 1 day with them because of THE FLU. YUCK! Hubby even got it and was on his own as we were up north. It was nasty stuff.
We were disappointed that most of us were sick and run down and that we didn't get to spend much time with each other. It was still so good to see them. We miss them so much.
