Sick Day

Viva woke up before dawn complaining that her stomach hurt. Sweet Dub gave her some water and tried to get her to go back to bed, but no go. By 5 AM, he got me up to tell me he was going to work and would try to come back by 8 so I could go in turn. At 7:30 AM Puke-a-Palooza began, after which Viva climbed into my arms, clung to me and would not let go until Sweet Dub got back at 8:30. I went to work for an hour (during which time Viva threw up again, but since there was nothing in her stomach, it was just horrible retching), went to the market for crackers and popsicles, and came home. At 11:30, Viva threw up again. She is miserable, and a bit feverish, and I'm not feeling so great either.

I hope it's not the flu.

Oh man! I started teaching 3 weeks ago and have already been sick, the kids are sick, the staff is sick, and now the WMD's preschool is passing something around. I hope Viva is better and that you aren't getting a bout of it!

Viva's vomiting has stopped and the fever is gone. After a couple of days of feeling queasy myself, today I feel pretty much back to normal. Thanks for all your good wishes!
