HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WOW!! New Years was interesting this year!! First of all I want to thank Tracie and Sandy for still talking to me!(my kids and I kinda ruined the night) Lets start at the begining! The night was started out with me taking a nap. Well I woke up late, no big deal. We got the kids in the car and headed over to Rob and Tracie's for our party. We were already late, I had a headache, and Lexi decides to throw up all over the car! YAY!!!! We turn around and go home, get Lexi changed, and head back to Rob and Tracie's. As soon as I walked in the door I felt ill. I had to run to their bathroom and I stayed there or on the couch sleeping for the remainder of the night! HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR TO ME!! Apparantly, while I am sick in my friends bedroom passed out, Josh and the kids were having a good time. Bianka was excited to be with her friends and that we were letting her stay up late. Josh was drinking beer with the guys and I do not even think he noticed that I was gone. Meanwhile what we thought was just car sickness for Lexi was not. About halfway through the night she started to get sick again. As soon as she started feeling bad, I began to feel better. I felt SO bad for her! We just kind of let her lay around, and didn't think much about it(my kids are always sick). And I tried to play some games with my friends. I made it to midnight, kissed my husband, took some pictures, and made the biggest mistake EVER! I ate some very delicious food! This was the downfall of the night. You have to understand.....my friend Tracie made my FAVORITE meatballs, I had clam dip, and there was all kinds of really good nut rolls and fudge and mint candy. You would think that I would have been smarter than to eat it all......but I wasn't. :o( I decided that it would be better if we went home for the night, and it is a good thing that we did! I went to bed sick as a dog, and I woke up to Josh taking Lexi to the hospital. She was burning up and throwing up again. He was at the hospital with her until 5am. Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Turns out that she has an ear infection, and she was dehydrated. She had to get a shot of antibiotics and then they let her come home. Needless to say we all slept in on New Year's day. Lexi was seeming to feel better, and so was I. So we had a lazy day. We were all winding down and watching a movie when Bink started to get sick.:o( After about her 5th time of throwing up we decided to take her in to the hospital. My sister came over to watch Lexi and thank God she did! Bianka was severly dehydrated, and they admitted her after three shots of anti-nausea meds and two bags of IV fluids were not working. We spent the next two days at the hospital. My little girl was such a trooper!! Thank God it was just the stomach flu! All I have to say is next New Years we are not leaving the house. I am ignoring the holiday! If I ignore it nothing bad will happen. When I make plans and have things to do, something always happens! I hope that everyone else had a wonderful New Year!!
