Today is the first day in 2 1/2 weeks that I haven't felt like vomiting every 10 minutes. Sorry to be sooo graphic but seriously, it's been awful. I feel like I am on a never ending boat ride and just when I think I am pulling into the dock the boat goes back out to sea.
A wonderful friend lent me her nausea bracelets and they help some. The key is to put them on before you get sick!
Tums taste like chalk but they do help. Peaches asked me if she could write with them on the sidewalk. :)
Someone else suggested to eat before you get nauseous. I do eat and find myself eating about 10-12 times a day. Of course my co-workers think this is hilarious because I will pretty much eating anything. I drank a whole can of ravioli in 30 seconds. I ate a 6 inch tuna sub in about 2 minutes and scarfed down a chicken burrito in a minute (I ate so fast I burned the roof of my mouth and kept eating through the pain). I do feel better after I eat but once the nausea comes back again, I eat again. I can't wait to see how much weight I gain with this one! I gained 40 with Peaches. My co-workers are already taking bets.
Last night the same wonderful friend who lent me the bracelets, brought us some pound cake, soup and bread for dinner. That will feed all of us for the next 3 days. It was delicious and truly appreciated.
I feel like a terrible mother and wife. I haven't done anything in 2 1/2 weeks. All I want to do is sleep and pout. I move from the couch to the bed upstairs, to the bed downstairs, to one recliner then to the next. I get bursts of energy every couple of hours but when I feel like cleaning something or picking up a mess here and there, I get exhausted and have to lay down for another couple hours.
I just hope this passes soon so I can feel like myself again. If you know me at all, I am not one to SIT for any length of time. I have to be doing something all the time. My brain doesn't rest. These two weeks have certainly taught me to slow down and to rest and let others be in charge.
I almost didn't go to Church today because I didn't think I was going to make it. I was in Nursery for about 45 minutes when this lovely person walked in and told me to leave; she said she was sent in to help and had it under control. I was hesitant to leave my kids because I am the only one that can take care of them :) Anyway, I left (feeling guilty) and sat in the hallway where I was able to rest, drank some OJ, eat some tums and feel better.
Thanks to everyone for your support, advise, kind words and hugs!
Today Window World installed 4 new windows in the front of our house. They replaced the old ones that didn't open with one that open and we can clean the outside from the inside. Now we can get a breeze going through the living room/dining room. Thanks to the new Presidency we can get a $500 credit on our taxes for having energy efficient windows installed. 
Brad Temple was nice enough to pick up a BB Gun at a yard sale so Peaches could learn how to use it. We got the BB Gun home about 8:00 PM last night and both Peaches and John were outside in the dark shooting at a blue target John quickly made. First thing this morning (8:00 AM) Peaches wanted to go shoot. What have we turned our child into?
Peaches started soccer lessons and loves it. Her coach is really cool and makes it fun for the kids. Today there were only 3 kids so they had more turns, which Peaches liked. The coach makes them run about 35 minutes out of their 45 minute lesson. They get to play a real soccer game the last 5 minutes. I had a mom ask me if Peaches had played before because she was really good. I was happy to hear that.
