After they left we went to Kansas City to visit my sister and help her decorate her house for Christmas. Keep in mind that a trip to my sisters usually involves a lot of shopping and this trip was no exception. We hit up target, the mall, Pottery Barn kids, William Sonoma, Crate and Barrel, and ate at some wonderful restaurants in Kansas City. I am always so jealous of the selection of places to go there--it makes Topeka seem so boring.
All day Saturday Karley was complaining of a sore neck which turns out is a sore throat. We pumped her full of liquids and kept shopping chalking it up to the fact that she didn't sleep so well the night before. However, at dinner, she didn't eat a thing (not like her at all!!) and Todd and I skipped out on the trip to Walmart and Target to take her home and put her in the bath and to bed. She was fine during the bath. Jamie has an amazing whirlpool bathtub that Karley loves to play in. After her bath we were on the couch watching Annie and she fell asleep. I got up from the couch and left the room and not 5 seconds later did Todd haul her into the bathroom while she was throwing up all the way. It was EVERYWHERE!! Poor baby. After washing her off and the furniture, and the hallway and the bathtub and the 500 blankets that she had on her, we put her to bed in the bedroom where (luckily) she made it the whole night without getting sick again. In the morning, she felt better and played Mario Cart on the Wii most of the day.

Fast foward to this morning where I wake up at 4am and the whole room is spinning and I feel like crap. I got up and threw up all over the place. The flu has struck at out house.
I am kind of a chicken so I had Todd call me into work this morning. I have a very guilty conscience because I only work one day a week and it seems like if Iam going to be sick it shouldn't be on a Monday.
My wonderful mom came out and got Karley on the bus for me (I was hanging out in the bathroom) and after they left for the bus stop I crawled back into bed where I stayed until 3pm only getting up to get sick. Which was about 300 times. ICK
Did I mention that the flu sucks.
When I got Karley off the bus she said that her throat is sore (again) so I am anticipating another great night.
So, everyone, please feel sorry for us....and pray to God that Todd avoids this mess. I can't remember the last time I had the flu and I was even on the ball this year and got Karley and I the flu mist to avoid this......No such luck.
Right now, Karley and I are sitting on the couch, covered in a blanket, watching some silly cartoon on T.V. I need to clean this mess of a house and get to the grocery store but it is just going to have to wait. I am thinking that we will be in bed by 7pm tonight.
Awh yuck! I hope things get better for you soon, too! I wondered what you guys did for Thanksgiving...Mom, Dad & I ate at Cracker Barrel in Topeka then went to Lawrence to look around. Saw a movie & back home...just thought you'd like to know that I felt guilty coming to town & not calling (even though it was a holiday).
