Vomit and Diarrhea

You guessed it...our week has been full of vomit and diarrhea. Monday was good though - the kids and I went to Gymboree, which is always fun. Then on Tuesday I had my check-up with the oral surgeon. My test results came back as inflammation/irritation and NO cancer cells - YEAH!! My lymph node is still swollen though and hurts but I guess it will go away soon. I got our of my appointment early (the doctor was an old classmate of Jim's so we didn't have to wait at all and was in and out in no time) so I took the kids to Stride Rite. After buying 6 pairs of shoes, we went home (Sophia and I like shoes).

Everything was normal until that night. Sophia woke me up saying, "I have to pee!!!". I was so happy... no more night time diapers!...that is what I thought until I opened the door to her room and was hit with a terrible smell. Yep...diarrhea. We went to the bathroom where she then vomited. Luckily it was in the toilet. The funny this was she didn't cry or anything. Sophia acted like it was no big deal. She went back to her room and slept until 7. Then it started. Diarrhea, vomit, diarrhea, vomit...vomit some more, diarrhea. And it stunk!!! She not longer thought it was a big deal anymore either. When her stomach hurt, she let me know...as well as the neighborhood. It always seemed that James would scream and cry at the same times too. I think it was either sympathy crying or he was scared because she was crying. Sophia got really sick and dehydrated. Jim even got concerned around Friday (it takes him a while before he gets concerned about medical things). Well, now it is Sunday. She is still vomiting and diarrhea but she is laughing at times and played with my high-heels tonight. I think tomorrow will be a better day.

In the middle of all of this, we had an open house today between 3-5. It went well. Despite it being Palm Sunday, Spring Break, and storming out, we had about 8 couples come. 3 were interested. Apparently one man from Chicago really liked the house but he has to show it to his wife first. Another couple had already seen the house and came again. They need to sell 2 other houses first (I guess he owns one and she owns one and they are wanting one together). The kids and I just drove around until Sophia vomited again. I saw it coming though and had a bag ready. After that I decided driving around was not a good idea so I took the kids home. We still had 45 minutes left to our open house so we sat in the car in our garage and watched a movie until the showing was over and everyone left. Now I am sitting here wondering...why are we selling the house again. I LOVE our house in the spring and summer.
