Well, this week has been one that I wish wasn't so interesting! Besides being the 1st week of school I also had to have my 1st official sub! Why you might ask? Not because of volleyball (my other "life") but because I was sick! The first day of school I came down with what I know now as the stomach flu. I thought I was immune to all things "sick" at least for the 1st few weeks! But, no...I got it and got it baaad!
But, I have survived...barely. I have come to find out that I am not a person who does well when they are sick. I don't handle it well at all. It's not because I think I'm invincible and being sick is a sign of weakness (Paige) it's because I can't handle the fact that my stomach hurt so bad I didn't want to eat! I LOVE FOOD! And, when I can't get some it makes me sad! I am the type of person who will find an excuse to eat! Not because I'm hungry but because I'm looking for something to do! I love the idea of going out of town, not because the stores are great but because there will be a fun different (possibly new!) place to eat!
Now, rewind back to Tuesday...I couldn't even move by the time I got to school let alone eat! It was a depressing situation...one that only a mom's love to comfort...and she did. She brought me gatorade and 7up (because it has something in it to calm tummies) and then told me to go home...which I did.
By that evening I felt worse so she returned and took my temperature (100.5...I can't remember the last time I HAD a temperature!) and then rubbed my back...and only the way a mom can...felt so good!
I think the worst I felt was when I realized that it was the 1st day I had gone with out seeing Zachary, I was very saddened by that thought...which made my mood even worse.
In the end I slept most of it off between the couch and my bed. I've since eaten (thank you Jesus) and have most of my energy back. I won't say everything is back to normal but for the most part I feel great.
Well, off to my other life...volleyball...if you're wondering what my 1st one is, it's teaching. I usually don't have a break in between the two but today I left early to take my niece home from school so she wouldn't have to wait for the bus and get home after 4pm. I remember those days and don't envy her at all for having to ride the bus! But, that's a whole other blog!

so...you think that I think you are invincible? hmmmmm, interesting. Sorry you missed out on seeing and holding zac, I am sure you will make up for it as soon as you are better! He missed you a lot too (he told me so)
Ugh. You have my full sympathy! In my opinion, there is really not a whole lot worse than a stomach bug--a nuclear war, maybe? I love that you said that not everything is back to normal, with everything in italics. Doesn't leave much to the imagination, but is funny nonetheless!
