Why moms can't get sick

I think I wrote about Inara getting sick on New Years Day. I thought she was fully recovered, so we ventured out a couple days this last week. The most fun was our tumbling class on Wed night. I enrolled her in this new class even though we do My Gym once a week to give her another outlet for getting all her energy out. Sometimes, moms just need this. Anyways, Thursday night she started acting cranky and was refusing food again. Friday, she was full on sick again. Even threw up once and had some bad diapers. She seemed better Saturday morning, but then I ended up getting a really bad headache and didn't feel good. By that evening I had diarrhea and vomiting, which lasted until 7am Sunday morning. I HATE BEING SICK!!! And as a mom, I can't get sick. I have a little one to tend to and a house to run, so no sickness allowed. It wore me out though. Hugging the toilet 7 times will do that to a person. Thank goodness Shawn was here to take care of Inara. I sooo couldn't have survived without him. And the poor guy had a horrible night's sleep on Saturday with me getting up every 30 minutes running to the bathroom. I suggested he sleep in the guest room, but he said no, he wanted to be upstairs in case I needed him. He was almost ready to drive my butt to the ER, but I refused to start the year off with a trip to the ER and a nice medical bill to boot. I was finally able to keep some liquids down after Kristi graciously went to the store and got me some Immodium. Thank you soooo much, Kristi! Shawn was worried if I would be able to run after Inara today, so he called out sick for work and thank the lord he did. I wasn't feeling 100% yet, and Inara had some horrible diarrhea explosions today. Lets just say her sheets and about 4 pairs of jammies are freshly cleaned now. Why can't my mom live closer to help in times of need? Lets just hope we are on the mend and that Shawn's great immune system prevents him from coming down with this horrible bug. And to top it all off, Jason comes into town in a couple days, so I really hope our house isn't contaminated come Thu so we can spend some time with Uncle Jason.
