A sick little man and sooo much to do!

Comment Published at 18:0518:054 comments4 comments18 Visits18 VisitsReport

Well Jack is sick! Yesterday L was here for the day & we all went to playgroup in the morning, taking bikes as the kids were to ride their bikes on the netball courts after their morning fruit. Everything went great & the kids had a ball. Jack has a Fisher Price tricycle that we can turn the wheels into the middle on & it makes it a 2 wheeler with just a little more stability than a normal 2 wheeler - and yesterday at playgroup he asked me to change the wheels for him & after a few minutes of help he was riding it all by himself & balancing so well! I was so proud! After playgroup I put a poster at the local store & the pub for our pups & L's nan works at the pub & said she would pick L up at around 2.30 - so he left just over an hour earlier than normal. Oscar was asleep and after L left Jack layed down & had a sleep too (they wear each other out so well! LOL). At tea time Oscar was screaming at me - he's impatient & when he sees me getting tea ready he wants it NOW - while Jack sat at the table with a book and "read" to me. Jack didn't want his tea, but I thought nothing of it & made him eat some of his vegetables because he is like that most nights now. James is leaving for work at 6.20am and getting home at around 7.45pm at the moment & just before James got home I had the kids showered & we were watching tv & Jack looked at me funny & vomited all over the couch twice, then got on the floor & vomited twice more! I felt so terrible for making him eat when he was obviously sick (not that I knew that earlier as he seemed fine), and he was so upset that he had vomited but said he was ok now. He sat in the kitchen while I tried to clean up & James came home & asked what was going on. I told him what had happened & he sat with Jack & Oscar while I tried to clean the couch & carpet. James changed Jack's clothes & 15 mins later he vomited everywhere again, but when we asked him if he felt sick or his tummy hurt he said he no, he was ok. He asked James to put his to bed about 9.15pm (we let him sit with us cause he wasn't well) and he slept pretty well, stirring a few times but didn't get sick. This morning he got into bed with me around 6.50am & I thought he was going back to sleep until Oscar woke up! We went out to the toilet & he said "I'm sick mum, I'm sick" so I said did he need to be sick & he said no so we went back inside & he had a small drink of water. About 10 mins later I asked if he was ok & he said he was, then threw up on the carpet again then asked for breakfast! Go figure! He kept asking for breakfast so I gave him a juice & some rice bubbles without milk to see how he went. That is still down thank goodness but he now has a temp that he didn't have before. Now it's a waiting game to see if he needs to go to the doctor or not. Luckily I have everything we need here all the time being so far from the doctor or chemist!

I have the whole house to clean today, which I started earlier by vacuuming the bi-carb soda off the spew on the carpet, and then Jack threw up again! I think my mum & Mick are coming tomorrow & we just had my dad & step-mum here Tuesday night. James has football Saturday & I was meant to go to my friends linen party today. Hopefully James' heel spur is ok with the new inner soles I got him & he can play a full game of football! Then he will probably be back at work Sunday, GRRR! The owner of the local pub also rang yesterday afternoon to ask if James or I can work the bar at a wedding he is catering in Coonawarra on the 19th - everyone will go down there together & he pays really well. James has done a lot of functions with him but he said he would like either of us to do it, doesn't matter who. James said he doesn't know but I have to tell him so he can organise someone else if we can't. James will have football that day but will be finished by the time they would have to leave, but he may not feel like doing it after footy so I think maybe I will do it & mum & Mick will come up & help James with the kids in case he has to work on the Sunday.

Everything is just too much today, I am lost & don't know where to start, I guess not sitting on here would be  a good start but I don't get on much anymore so I had to come by. The new features look great, I just have to work them all out, HAHA! Hopefully Jack is better by tomorrow & we can get back to normal!

Poor Jack, and poor you, cleaning up sick is no mean task, especially unexpected bouts of it on the furniture.  Sounds like James is working long hours, you guys do a great job looking after each other.  Don't feel worried about feeding him, you didn't know what was going to happen - hope that Oscar doesn't pick it up too - or you or James for that matter.  Good luck selling the pups.

Hey there stranger! Jack is all better today - thank god! James is working very long hours & is getting very very tired - not to mention the boys missing him madly (and me too, but at least I am up when he gets home)! xxoo
