Phenergan saves the day

The Husband was sick this past weekend with a stomach virus. He was still vomiting on Monday and therefore missed work. I've been queasy for weeks and craving spicy foods (no, I'm not pregnant) which I don't normally like. I got all the laundry caught up, dishes sanitized, floors swept and mopped, and bathrooms bleached. I sprayed lysol and oust every couple of hours and cracked one window in each room for fresh air. I was preparing just in case I got The Husband's virus.

When I didn't get sick, I decided to scatter all our tax paperwork out in the living room floor and start sorting and preparing for getting taxes done. Yes, I was tempting fate. Then, The Husband comes home and tells me the date that he is leaving. For those of you who don't already know, he is leaving for overseas again. For a year. And then some other stuff I can't blog about until that year is up. But anyway, I began to cry and we had an hour long painful discussion that only stopped so we could get the kids in bed. Then we discussed some more. I cried some more. He went to bed in the germ infested bedroom where he had been sick and I slept on the couch, where nobody had thrown up or had ass piss so I thought was safe.

Around midnight I woke up with the unmistakable sweaty, shaky, shivering feeling of stomach acid vomit about to erupt. Then, I pooped my pants. Bet your glad you read this post while eating, huh. Your welcome.

Let's just say that I finally got to hang out with the Italian tile in our bathroom. Then my mom got off work and brought me some Phenergan, and took the two youngest kids home with her. The Husband had to go in to work early but said he would come back and get The Daughter for school. A pill and a half later and I finally stopped getting sick, but I was out like a light. Phenergan makes me sleep and when I wake up I am dizzy and can't think straight. I can only stay up long enough to use the bathroom and then I'm passing out again before I make it back to the bed. But, I love Phenergan because it makes me stop puking. Anything that makes me stop that is A Ok in my book.

I actually was eating when I read that line. I'm a mother to 3 kids myself so naturally I continued eating. LOL! Just know that you are not the only one to have awaken in the middle of the night and had the poop in the pants thing happen. At least you woke up first and was not visiting at your mom's house. (damn Chinese buffet!) Now THAT sucked.

I love Phenergan. That was what I was given for my episodes, before I realized I was allergic to dairy. I think it's made by angels. It would knock me out too.
