On the Bright Side...

Whew...yesterday was a doozie. Tuesday evening I got hit with a bout of nausea. After taking some medication I tried to settle down to sleep, but tossed and turned most of the night. I woke up Wednesday completely miserable. The doc's professional opinion was that I had been hit by the stomach bug. I was ordered to drink lots of fluids and rest, which is much easier said than done with a two-year-old and 3-month-old. The biggest drawback I've found to being a full-time mommy is that you don't get sick days. Thankfully, my little men were champs. It's as if they knew I needed them to be on their best behavior. Jack did grow bored of laying around in bed and abandon me for the basement at one point, but overall he was so good.

So, on the bright side...

• we could have run out of milk yesterday (instead of today when I'm feeling much more like venturing to the store)
• Jack could have decided not to nap yesterday afternoon following our very lazy morning (instead he took a 2-hour plus nap and then stayed in his room singing and entertaining himself for another hour)
• Sam could have decided he wasn't happy with a bottle and needed mom to hold him (instead he happily took 3 bottles in a row and was content to snooze in his carrier most of the afternoon!)
• Jack could have been suffering from the same illness at the same time (instead he most likely had a touch of it Saturday evening/Sunday morning)
• the bug/virus could have put me out of commission for days (instead after about 36 hours, I'm feeling much better)
