Taking care of Mommy...

I woke up feeling extremely ill around 4am this morning. I was quite nauseous and made several runs to the bathroom. At 7am, hoping the sickness had passed, I helped my kids get ready for daycare. But, soon I ended up bent over the toilet again. My two-year-old son had never seen someone throwing up before. He found it fascinating. My daughter put on her mommy hat and patted me on the back. Though I didn't care much for an audience, I was too weak to scoot my kids out of the bathroom. My son continued to watch me heaving. He cocked his head to one side and kept asking, "Mom-my? Mom-my?" With his limited vocabulary, I didn't know if he was trying to ask if I was alright or what I was doing?

Did you eat peanut butter?

I did at Christmas. It all makes so much sense now.

Yep, it does all make sense now-Peter Pan is my fav and I had the contaminated batch number. I eat that stuff almost daily! I thought my kids gave me a bug-they'd eaten peanut butter too!

Dogg - that would make a good blog post - the contaminated food. What did you do? How'd you find out you had a bad batch? How'd you get better?!?!
