another sick day...

nora woke up last night throwing up. i mean, it was in her eyes (how i am not sure... seriously!). she was up four more times. the first time, she told me, "remember when i was sick at mom-mom's. you forgot to give me the pan this time". (i had given her a pan to throw up in. well, if i had known...) so, i put her trash can next to her bed. with a bag in it. one of the four times, she made it in there... and i found her laying on her princess rug next to the mat. so sad!!

so, today, when i told her i didn't feel good, she went and got her trash can (she had already taken the bag out and thrown it away... such a big girl!), and put a paper towel in it because that was all she could find. she told me, "i'll be the mommy and you be the nora and i'll take care of you". oh, my heart broke. and i took a nap. until daddy got home. and then i slept for two more hours... and now, i am feeling a little better!

prior to my REALLY not feeling well, we had a tea party on the porch. she was "miss clavel" and i was "madeline". so much fun.

she was so intent. she LOVES tea parties. prior to "miss clavel/madeline", i was "libby". i am really excited that we get to spend two months with libby and her mommy and brother this summer.

i came downstairs around 6pm, because i was sick of our (brand new) bedroom. but, couldn't move off the couch. i really had wanted to put the kids in bed again, so my sweet husband (who surprised us with lunch today) could watch march madness. but, he was wonderful and put them in bed. (it also coincided with a break between games) then, he came downstairs and asked if i needed anything. when i told him a diet coke would settle my stomach, and only the fountain kind, because i believe that's the only kind worth drinking, he went. and missed some of the games for it.

for five years, i thought i ranked just below march madness in his life! it's so good to know where i really stand! that he really loves me more than mm!!! (and no, it was not a test... ) so, tonight, i puked and laid on the couch watching a movie on the mac, and he watched mm. a wonderful night. here's hoping i feel as good tomorrow as nora did by the afternoon!!! (running and playing "chase you" with daddy and jamey. jamey got to be the first "madeline" this afternoon... i rescued him!)
