Okay.. I just need to give a few shout outs of Thanks to a few people during these last many weeks....
I have been so so sick ( morning sickness except that it is not just the morning, all day LONG) It totally stinks.
So I need to thank a few people who have done numerous things for me...
Chris- My wonderful hubby of course. He has been cleaning, cooking because I can't stand the smell of the refrigerator and I can't stand to be in the kitchen without throwing up, doing laundry, emptying and reloading the dish washer, taking out the trash many times a day because of smells, taking care of the kids when he gets home from work and in the morning, getting the kids breakfast while I slowly wake up, etc. He has really stepped up and I love him more than ever.
Mom and Dad VV-- For cooking me and the kids dinner on those many nights that Chris has appointments and for letting me call you at any hours when I attempt to make lunch and or dinner a night that Chris will be late, so I can keep my mind on something else instead of the food (Like the phone call the other day when I attempted to brown ground beef, and Mom coming over to get my fresh veggies that I just bought and cut them up, wash, and peel them, and them give them back to me.)
To my wonderful friend Heidi who has been keeping me busy during the day times so I don't have to be home( yup-- I can't stand the smell of my house either--crazy huh)
To all of my other wonderful friends who have taken the kids for playdates, called to have them go with them for a while, and who have come by to chat keeping me busy and my mind off of being sick.
And my two wonderful kiddos---You poor things-- I know this is not how you wanted to spend your summer break--with mommy sick all the time. Lily is my refrigerator go getter when I do make food at home and gets the food out of the fridge for me including jelly for sandwiches, milk, butter, bagels, ketchup, etc and lays it all out on the counter for me. However look on the positive side-- you get to eat out lots since I can't cook much without getting sick :) McDonald's 1.00 hamburgers are our friends.
Ugghhh... let's just hope I am in the home stretch with being sick and I start to feel better soon. They say 12 weeks and it should be good but I was sick with Lily for 5 months and right now, I am over the 12 week mark.
I just keep thinking that this will be all worth it in the end :)
