Food Poisoning

Uuuugh. Food poisoning is. the. worst. ever. I have now had food poisoning four times. Terrible! This time, however, seemed to be worse than the previous. Sunday night Brad and I had our cheat meal: pizza roll-ups and chicken nachos. Oh those pizza roll-ups. The hubs loves them and we hadn't had them in a long time, so I figured I would make them and just try to use "healthier" ingredients: fat free crescent rolls, turkey peperoni, and mozzarella cheese. We had dinner around 6:30 pm, put Dayton to bed around 7:30 and then finished getting ready for the week.

Around 9 pm, the hubs said he didn't feel very well so he laid down on the bed for a bit. I told him to go ahead and go to bed. I finished getting things ready and then got ready for bed at 10. Brad was still not feeling great, but we both went to sleep. At 11 pm, he woke me up while he was running to the bathroom...to puke his guts up. Poor guy. He was up almost every 45 minutes sick. After a while, I told him it seemed like he had food poisoning. That's when I got nervous. Around 2 am, it was my turn. At 3 am, I put in the system for a sub and then wrote some sub plans in between my trips to the bathroom. The worst.

Monday morning, we still weren't doing well. Thank goodness for daycare! We got Dayton to daycare by about 8:30 am and basically raced home. I was running to the bathroom as soon as we pulled in. I repeat...terrible. We stayed in bed until about 12:30 pm, then moved to the couch. We didn't get up until it was time to pick Dayton up at 4:30 pm. I wasn't sure how we were going to take care of him that night, but I laid on the floor while he played and was still able to nurse him. Since we were still feeling so terrible Monday night, I went ahead and put in my absence for Tuesday. I hate missing work, but we could barely even move!

Tuesday was about the same. We got Dayton to daycare, but still couldn't eat anything. By lunch time, we figured we should try. Brad held it down. I didn't. Yuck. We took lots of naps and just laid around. After we picked Dayton up from daycare, we stopped by Panera for some chicken noodle soup. Luckily, we both kept it down and decided that even though we weren't completely better, we were well enough to go back to work Wednesday. Let's just say, I barely made it through Wednesday, but my kiddos were so sweet and helpful. They were extra good and we had a nice day. Wednesday night we both started feeling a little better.

I hope we never get food poisoning again. It was terrible. Especially trying to nurse and take care of a 7 month old at the same time!

P.S. - I will never eat turkey peperoni again.
