Food Poisoning

I don't have much to write because the past week has been uneventful around here due to the fact that I had food poisoning. I haven't been this sick since the Norwalk virus when I was pregnant with Hallie. It started last Friday night and I am still feeling the effects of it today. Not good.

I have to say though that Hallie has been a good support through it all. She has given me many many back massages and has even offered to hold my hand while I'm busy on the toilet!! Today she came in there while I was using the facilities and I told her that I was sick. She went into her room and grabbed her little chair, brought it into the bathroom and sat down right in front of me. She said "I'll be right here if you need me Mom". Then she proceeded to tell me that "pooping is easy mom, you just have to go like this...(at which point she groaned as if she was trying to go herself)" She handed me toilet paper, offered me a drink and said that she could massage my back with lotion if I wanted. I was just really wanting a little personal space but I have become accustomed to not having much of that :)

Raya has been a blast the past week (with the exception of today when she was teething hardcore and really cranky). She is so smiley and happy most of the time. She can make a mess of this house though in record time but she looks so cute doing it...and that's a good thing. She stands at the book shelf and grabs as many as she can in one hand and chucks them onto the floor. Then she looks at them and shakes her head.

I'm off to bed after I tidy up a bit....must sleep away this sickness. Next time I get my food packed up at a restaurant I'll come straight home and put it in the fridge instead of letting it sit with me on the patio for 3 hours while I have a few drinks :)
