i think Ry realizes how much he enjoys playing with his buddies. unfortunately, i think that makes him wish he had a brother to play with even more. poor guy! well... at least he has *this* brotherhood --- the joke is that he is the 4th Calimlim boy... Neal, AJ, Ben & Ry
Tuesday after camp, all the kids were treated to lunch and playtime at McDonald's and more playtime at Stacie's. it was me, Stace and Cynthia with Neal, Jamie, Citlali, Ben, Ryan, Kiana, AJ, Kaili and Amir... whew! it was a lot of fun...
Wednesday, Stacie took the boys to play at Jamie's house after camp. Jackie was gracious enough to have them play and Stacie made everyone grilled cheese sandwiches. Kaili was just starting to have the "blowouts from the bottom" so we stayed home. After playing at Jamie's house, the boys all came over to our house and played some more while Stacie hung out with me and the girls. The kids all got to eat ice cream and popsicles before they went home.
Thursday was supposed to be my day off but Kaili had started throwing up - the episode only lasted a few hours. I figured it was the end of the bug she was suffering from so Cin and I kept our dinner plans. Jon would babysit. Life was finally feeling better. Cin and I picked Ryan up at Stacie's house until 430, dropped him off at home to play with Jon and the girls and went to our dinner at Sushi Boats - well deserved Mom time... Jon was watching the kids so I felt a lot better about being out. We got home around 8:30'ish. We did a little myspacin' and took a myspace photo opp then she went home.
About an hour or so after Cin left... Kiana threw up... uh oh... she got the virus from Kaili.
early Friday morning was a disaster for me. Kiana threw up through the night. I'd been sleeping with her and found myself cleaning her up every hour or so.... around 430am, i felt queasy --- yep! my turn to puke! my little pukefests lasted for about 2 hours... then i was done. just nauseous but not more puking. i was not in a good way at all. Kiana appeared to be all better... hmmmm... another bug, i figured. Stan and Ryan were fine, though. i figured maybe because they were at camp/playdates/work all day, they didn't catch it... spoke to soon...
at 10am, i got a call from MS Nucleus... Ryan had thrown up. i was still nauseous so i called Stan to see if he could pick him up --- but he told me he couldn't because he had a meeting. i immediately loaded up the now well girls into the car and my nauseous self went to pick him up. when i got there, he was happily playing with Stacie and AJ in the gift shop... i wish he could've stayed for the rest of space camp - it was launch day and the kids were supposed to wear their spacesuits that they made. :( i told Ry that we'd figure out a way to do a launch - maybe at home or at a park with Daddy. :(
on the way home (in the car), Kiana threw up - she blamed it on my driving... lol. at home, Ryan took a nap. unfortunately for him, he was rudely woken up by the nasty stomach bug and ended up throwing up many times more. Kiana and Kaili, at that point, were both fine so i just had to take care of Ryan --- oh yeah, and myself. Stan came home for lunch to give me an hour of relief but that didn't do much to help make me feel better. my nauseous self had to still deal with taking care of the trio. i didn't call in reinforcements because i didn't want to make them sick, too... it was a rough day. all i wanted to do was rest. i finally got to sleep a little from 8-11pm.
so now as i type this up... i'm sleep deprived but wide awake (the trio is all dancing around me, happy as can be... only now Ryan is feeling better and the girls have the runs... AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! will this EVER end???). we had to postpone our plans with the Reyes family for tomorrow... hope we are all 100% so we can go. we all could use a little fun after the crazy week we've had...
