a really crappy day, made better with some help

Jill, Holly and I were all sick over the past 24 hours.  Holly started first, then Jill, then early this morning.

Jill's mom pam came over around 6 or 7 and helped out so much.  She cleaned up, took care of Jill and Holly and entertained Lauren, who got her sickness out of the way a week ago.

Pam took Lauren home with her and she is going to spend the night, which helps a lot.  Lauren was just bored and wanted attention that would could not really give.

My mom came over and helped out to.  Made me feel better just hearing her voice, even when I am nearly 40 years old.

My stomach feels rough, but I seem to be keeping stuff down at the moment.  I am getting ready to go to bed and am moving very slowly.  I am hoping I do not have to do any more puke cleanup throughout the night.  But if so, I am hoping I can dig deep and do what I need to.

This was clearly very bad timing with Jill going through chemo and me having to really watch my PTO days . . . but if life were always awesome, it would get boring.  This night will make help motivate me when Jill is puking from chemo.  How being nauseas basically shuts you down.  And all of this will make the end better- when Jill is better and we are on a family vacation down the road.

Thanks to all that are thinking of us.
