Sick as a dog (good till then)

I was going to come on here and do a post on how well the last couple of days have gone...MK left 8am Thursday morning, girls were in school and garderie (Lily all day as she went to Lewis' for lunch and I picked Charlotte up at noon), then in the afternoon Kelly deV rang and came over for a play date with Caroline and Chloe (they arrived not long after I got home from picking Lily up from school). That was fun, haven't seen them for a while so good to catch up.

Friday morning both girls went to garderie, picked up at noon, then we followed Christine and Alessandro to Laura Land in Payerne, about 45mins away. Big shed filled with jumping castles, rides, climbing things, little boats on a 'lake', heaps of things for kids basically. And cheap - Sfr9 per kid which included 5 jetons for the rides (not all activities needed a jeton). Pam and Isabella were also there. The girls loved it. Only thing, we got caught in heavy rain on the way home and I was on the part of the autoroute that I'm not so familiar with so it was a bit hairy for a bit. Got home just before 6.30pm.

Yesterday we bought some lunch at Migros then drove down to the park at Pully Port. Girls had fun, then Lily hooked up with an American girl - also 5 yo, attends ISL - and they played happily together. All three of them had 4 rides on the mini train. Think they loved that the best.

And in all, the girls have been good. It's been fairly relaxed and apart from the usual squabbles easy going.

Till last night.

I started feeling sick after the girls went to bed (thankfully Charlotte was asleep within 10mins thanks to no afternoon nap). Nothing much to start but didn't feel great. Then got worse. That's when Charlotte woke crying. She was hot and had had a runny nose during the day so I got her up, gave her Medised, held her for a while then put her back to bed. By this stage I felt really crook. Like I was going to chuck any minute. Then I did. It was very painful. Real gut cleanser. This was around 9pm. There was another chuck around 10pm, another painful one - more so in a way but shorter - all the while telling myself 'this will pass' over and over.

Around 11pm I attempted to go to bed, still feeling like shit. Checked on Lily as she was wearing knickers for the second night in a row. The night before she'd asked to wear knickers to bed, instead of a pull-up, and I'd agreed. I'd woken her around 10pm and put her on the toilet, she went and was dry in the morning. But I got to her too late last night and she was wet. Got her up, changed the bedding, new clothes and back to bed. Just in time to go back on the loo and wait. Felt for certain I'd chuck again (poor Lily was crying out for me but there was no way I could move and she eventually fell asleep) but nothing.

Doubled over, staggered off to bed, too sick to brush my teeth, clean my face. Just closed the blinds and windows, turned the computer off and fell into bed. Wishing for sleep.

Felt alright this morning, bit dodgy this afternoon. Have eaten breakfast and lunch, probably not wise but I was hungry (and if ya saw what was in the bowl you'd know why). Fingers crossed nothing more happens.

I have no idea what made me sick. Please god not gastro. Food poisoning? Who knows. Girls are fine, thankfully.

MK due home around 10.30pm tonight.
