Mother's Day/JR's birthday

Every year we go to the beach for Mother's Day. This year would have been our 5 year trip...unfortunately, we got sick. Logan was having some issues last week so I kept him home on Tuesday. I let Amber and Dj know ahead of time so they could make other arrangements for Mark, but they chose to bring him here (right now they are probably kicking themselves!) I did my best to clorox everything Logan touched, and to keep him upstairs away from the baby....but yeah, by Friday, my throat was swelling, and I noticed Mark had some major mucous going on...as did Landry! Fortunately for Logan he was all better! Like I said Friday was not so good for me. I felt like crap, and I had 3 kids to take care of. I was NOT operating at 100%. We went outside to blow bubbles and to color on the side walk with some chalk, but I just wasn't doing well. I was visiting the toilet about every 20 minutes. JR and I decided to see how I felt saturday morning, but we let our families know that we probably wouldn't be making it. On Saturday I woke up at noon...yeah, I know! I couldn't move my body. Everything hurt. I thought maybe it was just stiffness from being in bed too long, so I tried getting up. I walked to the bathroom and did my business, but by the time I got there I was covered in sweat. I decided that making it back to the bed wasn't that important so I fell asleep on the toilet! Yeah...I know! I woke up, who knows how long later and decided to try to make it back to the bed. I got halfway, laid down on the floor, cried, started drooling because it hurts too bad to swallow my excess saliva, and proceeded to fall asleep. I remember trying to talk myself into crawling to the bed. I remember thinking that if I could just get to the bed I could at least pull the covers and pillows down because I knew I didn't have the strength to get up on the bed. At 2:30 JR came to tell me he was hungry. I told him I didn't care. He got mad at me because I wasn't helping with the kids, I was so weak I couldn't even muster the strength to get mad at him for being selfish. At 5 I repeated the process of going to the bathroom. I was able to walk...very slowly, and I didn't fall asleep on the toilet, so that was an improvement. However; I was again covered in sweat. I went back to sleep. By 9 that evening I was feeling much better. I finally made it downstairs. I had a huge glass of water, then a glass of orange juice, followed by more water. JR was still irritated, he just looked at me, I stared back...I think he finally realized I was really sick 20 minutes later when the water and juice came back to bite me in the ass! All the strength I had gained was quickly gone. I went back to bed! Sunday was Mother's day. I woke up a little weak, but sooooo much better! by afternoon I was at about 60%...it was also JR's birthday, so he went to play disc golf with his friends. Luckily, as the hours went by, I was feeling better and better. The kids were pretty awesome and I was actually able to hold down fluids...MUCH BETTER! Monday morning, I was back to 90%. I was up at 6:30, preparing for Mark. At 7:20 Amber text me to say she and DJ were staying home from work so they were going to keep Mark. Apparently, they were all sick! Like I said...I warned her ahead of time! They are doing better today and are both at work, Mark is with me. Somehow, JR is the only one to come out of this inscathed...probably because he is never home, but anywho, that was how my weekend went! YAY
