OK. So aliens have invaded my body. I am going insane. I was sick on Thursday...it felt like someone was giving my stomach an indian burn. I threw up every single thing I ate or drank. I was reasonably sure I was dying.
Friday morning? Totally fine. Tired, drained from throwing up all day the day before, but fine. Ate full meals, felt fine, etc. Saturday, same thing.
I woke up this morning feeling bad again and I tried to shake it...went to church and threw up. When I stood up, even if I did it slowly, I would see black. No other symptoms aside from the nausea and pain in my stomach. By this afternoon it was completely gone.
It's weird. And no, I'm not pregnant. My stomach just really hurt, and I feel very nauseous and unsteady...have to sit down or I'll get dizzy, etc. That could be because of throwing up all the food I'm eating, though. Then it will be fine. Then it will hurt. It's weird.
Because of this mysterious disease, I spent most of today laying around and moaning to anyone who would listen to me. Not many would. Apparently I am like the girl who cried wolf and everyone has already spent all their sympathy. I guess Ava must get her dramatic behavior from me. But I can't help it! It huuuuurts!
Plus, Seth has been super clingy and waking up a ton. I'm tired, and in a surprising burst of good judgement, I decided to disqualify myself from Not Me Monday this week. Mr. Linky puts too much pressure on me. =)
But I have to tell you, the funniest thing happened today. Ava used the word "apparently" correctly in a sentence. She said "Apparently, Addy and Ella knew they were leaving the party early yesterday. Apparently."
Why is that funny? Because she told me that about two minutes after John had used the same word incorrectly. I can't help it...I was dying laughing. Hopefully that means Ava will take after me rather than John when it comes to grammar. It took me five years to stop him from habitually saying "I haven't ate all day."

(okay, I just now scrolled down to type in the 'word verification' and the letters are PATONFO. Is it just me or is it weird that I just typed "pats forehead" and then my verification word is that?)
Yes, I know I'm weird.
vertigo, maybe?
Hope you feel better tomorrow and have no more yuckiness!

I love it when my kids use new words correctly! Laughter is like good medicine! At least enjoy reading some "Not Me's!
Last Friday at our school's Valentine's Party, a little 4 year old boy corrected his mom, saying "it's Valentine's, mommy, not Valentimes. It's not a M like Mommy, its a N like Nana!" I nearly lost it - "valentimes" is one of my biggest peeves this time of year! :)
Feel better, El. And lets hope ALL your kids get your grammar skills! My boss calls me the Grammar Princess. I think you must be the queen!
Hope you feel better. (For longer than a day or two!)
I am always correcting people's grammar. My hubby and his brother hate it. He he! I hope you feel better.
Oh, I hope you feel better! Your family may feel that you cried wolf, but I still have sympathy to send your way! You sound miserable!

haha, I haven't ate all day.. Oh John.
I hope you feel better though=) I missed you guys sunday, didnt get a chance to see Seth =)
I just happened upon your blog. Sorry you are not feeling well. It sounds like it could be your gallbladder maybe? Hope you feel better!

I was just about to say the same thing as anonymous above. About 6-7 months after my fourth child, I had some of the same symptoms (though I never threw up). Fortunately I knew that I had gallstones from a sonogram during my pregnancy and figured out pretty quickly what it was. It sounds like you are having gall bladder attacks---the doctor told me that pregnancy/birth can bring them on. You should get it checked out. VERY easy surgery---they do it laproscopically now and you leave the next day.

I hope you feel better, get yourself checked out, better find out sooner than later (I think)! It is adorable hearing little children use big words!
