Bleh, Bleh and Bleh!

I think I'm suffering from food poisoning or some such thing.  Maybe by the time you read this I'll be better.

Saturday night we ate at a Mexican restaurant.  We've been there a few times before and the food is always good.  We all ordered the exact same meal.  (Something which rarely happens with my family.)  Right after dinner, PR departed for a friend's house to spend the night.

Not twenty minutes later, I was curled up in a ball with intense stomach cramps.  Briefcase was fine.  He looked a little frustrated, because ... hey - no kids in the house for a change.  I don't think listening to me moan was what he had in mind.

(Actually, it's exactly what he had in mind, but ...!)

I dug through our cabinets for stomach remedies and went to bed.

In the middle of the night I heard our phone ring, but then it stopped.  I thought maybe it was just a dream.  Awhile later, I heard the faint muttering of voices ... and then nothingness.

In the morning I learned PR had called from his friend's house at one in the morning.  He was feeling really sick to his stomach and wanted to come home.  Being the good mother I am sick myself, I never even woke up.  Briefcase answered the phone and drove to pick him up and bring him home.

Yes, you can nominate me for mother-of-the-year, why do you ask?

Briefcase, by the way, is fine.  

PR and I spent Sunday laying around doing nothing.  Between the two of us we might have consumed two pieces of toast over the course of the last 24 hours.  I feel perfectly fine except for my stomach ...  and oh, how miserable my stomach is.

I'm thinking it must be something we ate, because what are the chances of us both falling ill with the exact same symptoms within a few hours of each other?  Plus, neither of us has a fever.

On the positive side?

Maybe I'll lose an ounce from not eating.  I have the metabolism of a snail so it would be unrealistic to expect to lose more than an ounce.  

I also went through a lot of Lynda.com tutorials while sitting on the couch.  (And for those of you who asked, I'm finding them pretty informative.)  It wasn't exactly the conclusion I wanted to my weekend, but I suppose it wasn't a total waste of time.  After all, now my brain is a little smarter and my weight is a full ounce lighter.

Lastly, I tweeted my way through the Grammy awards.  I'm sure everyone enjoyed was annoyed by my (very) smart ass comments through the entire show.

Did I mention ... bleh?!

I was thinking about setting up a scientific experiment. You and a snail could sit side by side and each eat a burger. Then we could test your metabolism theory.

Not so sure it was food poisoning. David had the exact same thing Saturday night and was up off and on for hours up-chucking all from his stomach. He was fine yesterday. Hasn't hit me, but I am a bit nauseous today so I rescheduled my mammogram appt for next week just in case I REALLY get sick today.

Hope you both get to feeling better.

You might both have a low-grade stomach bug - that would account for not having any fever and why Briefcase feels fine.

Hope you feel better soon, dear!

Sorry! Hope you feel better soon!

Aw, hope you feel better. That's the worst! I've been on the couch all week after this sinus surgery and it's driving me crazy!
Finally catching up with blogging today. Love your photos!

Take half a bottle of Pepto Bismol and call me in the morning.

I hope you feel better and I can't wait to see what you come up with for photos with all your new-found knowledge.

Hope you and your son feel better soon!
