sick week

This week we don't have any new pictures because we have been passing the stomach flu around. Ryan started it on Tuesday, but his was really short lived and he ate Pizza Ranch buffet that night for supper with no problem. I then got it Wednesday night after the soup and pie supper at our church, and mine hung around all day Thursday, so I had a day off from work. Friday I went back to what I had hoped would be a lighter day like all week had been, but it ended up being the busiest day we have had in a really long time. Oh well, less time to think about how drained I was! Christopher woke up at 3am coughing and we quick took him to the bathroom where he puked mostly hitting his target. Granted, we did have 4 clothing changes for me and him by the time it was all done, but he is also doing much better at this point. He, like his father, hates to puke. This was his first experience with the stomach flu as he somehow missed out last year over Christmas, and so far he seems to be doing well. Out of all of us, I think I had it the worse as I still really don't have my appetite back yet.
Right now Christopher is sitting her doing one of his favorite past times lately, he's on my lap while I'm on the computer and he's covering a page of paper with little scribbles. The paper's nearly black now, but he's really entertained, sitting and behaving well, and keeping quiet. I can't complain. We just have to make sure that the paper he is using isn't anything too important!
This week basketball is back with a vengance. Ryan has a game almost every night this week, so that leaves Christopher and I to fend for ourselves. Good thing the flu was this past week, although Ryan doesn't deal well with puke, so either way I probably wouldn't have gotten much help from him!
