We had the stomach flu here but it was so weird. Ian woke us up at 2:30am by crashing into the room, stating "I threw up!" Sean was great, and he cleaned the floor while I cleaned up Ian. Ian climbed in to bed with us, at then threw up again about 2 hours later. We had to strip the bed, remake it, and then we slept for another hour. He threw up 2 more times, then climbed onto the couch where he lay quietly watching TV. At 8:15am I decided to wake up Roo, and as soon as I opened the door I knew. Gross!

I gave Roo a bath, got some crackers together, and attempted to make the best of the day. Sean called me mid-morning to say, "Be ready. I've gotten sick too." But, I never got sick. The kids barely ate all day, and when Sean came home both he and Ian climbed into bed for the night, Roo following at around 6pm.

Everyone is right as rain today though. How strange! I'm not complaining, but it's so weird.

This has been such a wonderful weekend, I don't want it to end!

Saturday Sean worked so I got to play with the kids all day. It was freezing outside, so we stayed indoors. Roo and Ian played with balls and with her toy airplane, and then when she napped he and I did science projects and played Wii Fit. When Sean got home we had dinner together, then Roo went to bed. We made popcorn and hot chocolate, snuggled under the blankets, and Ian, Sean, and I watched "Up," which was a wonderful movie!

Today we started the day with breakfast and coffee, then I went to a new Church (which was great, but I'm not sure if it feels like "home"), came home and had lunch, then we went over to my brother's house to watch the worst football game in history, eat a big Irish dinner with everyone (parents included), and then we came home. I got to study for about 3 hours, and now I'm heading in to bed, provided Roo settles in...

Sean and I had it out today. I am drained, but I do have a lot to think about. The problems were ones that I suspected, but I had to d-r-a-w them out of him tooth and nail, so I know that he knows they're unjust expectations. (I have tried to be super-wife, super-mom, super-employee, super-student, but I just cannot do it all and not feel overwhelmed, used, and resentful). My issues were the old song-and-dance with just about the same response I always get, but at least one of my demands were heard and will be dealt with: I no longer have to be responsible for the bills. YAY!!!!

Funny, because the comment I got was, "Are you sure? Because things will be very different if I take them over. We won't do stuff if we don't have the money to do it!" Seriously?   What the hell does he think I've been trying implement all the times I say, "No, we don't have the money for x,y,z."? I am so happy he's going to be responsible for the bottom line because he's going to see (finally!) that the bottom line is much lower than he thinks.
