Nausea, Bambi, and The Upside Down show

Nausea! Ok. So I guess for me it is a little psychosomatic. I'm really not that nauseated. I'm not ready to give up eating all together. Food does sound good, with the usual exceptions, like sauerkraut and hot dogs. So why the nausea? I think I have been living with vomit for about a week now. A week ago last Saturday (early morning)Matt and I woke up to my son saying that he didn't feel good and that he had thrown up. From that moment on for the next 12 hours every 20 minutes Trev was vomiting, in bowl, toilet, toy bucket, you name it. Anything that would contain to something we could wash later, or flush. This is par for him. He will vomit till every possible contaminant that afflicts his body has no possible trace left in his little body. Then right when Trev is not vomiting, but extremely fatigued and completely uninterested in food, only water, Ali Starts. She's a one or two episode kid and shes done, just doesn't feel good. We thought for sure they had food poisoning because Trev and Ali were the only ones to have pepperoni pizza the night before. So they started feeling a lot better by Sunday night, sent them to school the next day and thought nothing more of it. Then Monday night comes and Matt starts. He is out of commission for a full 24 hours then feels better. Ok so at least its a 24 hour bug. I thought we were done. Hope at least. Then this Friday night as I get home from work at 10:30 at night to find out Brie has started. Brie follows more suit to more like Trev when she is sick. What makes it worse is that we were supposed to have Anderson Family pictures done Saturday morning. So Matt having already suffered through the illness says he will stay home and I get to take the other two kids and call it good for our family and they get to splice in the missing members later. (Did I mention he's going off to hunt Bambi on Tuesday?) Unfortunately Brie is still vomiting. Not a lot, not too often, but all the same. She has actually listened to Matt and won't let me take care of the designated bowl after the occurrences. Apparently she doesn't want me sick either. So at 9pm at night I am watching The Upside Down Show with Brie while she laughs as she "presses the buttons on the remote" that the actors respond to. If you haven't watched it before I would suggest it on the more than enjoyable to watch kids shows with your preschooler.
So as far as the rest of my life goes, it is blissfully boring! :) With Matt and Trev off hunting for Bambi's dad next week I get to take a little more time off work and have fun with my girls. Have complete control over the the "royal orb" (the remote), and what movies I would like to watch, and finish them instead of having him too tired to finish it. Don't get me wrong I will miss them both terribly!!! I'm just going to enjoy them being gone! :) I don't even have to spend mass amounts of money while there gone and knowing me, that wouldn't even happen if I spontaneously came into massively large amounts of money any way. I must not be "female" enough in that aspect.
Ok, I really need to stop watching Shane and David crack up Brietta! She's calling them crazy and giggling. I love that noise. So good night, and I will quickly replace this disgusting blog with the Thacker Family photos soon.
