Come, let me tell you about my f*cking weekend
Friday- Took Ollie to his PT appointment where they said we can take his frequency down to once a month- yay! Came home and immediately got sick, threw up everywhere until about midnight. H had to take the baby even though he has a kidney infection. Then someone side swiped our car and took off the mirror.
Satuday- my MIL comes down to spend the night and help us out. She cooks dinner, cleans up, lets us nap. I love her. I felt better-ish, but not great. Ollie is cutting two teeth and completely miserable, and it took me two hours overnight to figure out that he was screaming because he was hungry and I wasn't producing any milk. (I'm assuming from being dehydrated)
Today- I decide to run Broad Street like an as$hole. I made it 8 miles in and felt pretty good, and that's where I should have stopped. The last two miles were hell. When I crossed the finish line I was shivering, my lips were blue, and I had to sit down immediately so I wouldn't pass out. My friends thought they were going to have to take me to the paramedics tent, but after getting warmed up and hydrated I started feeling well enough to make it home. When we get home, H immediately throws up because now he has the stomach flu, too!
Things this has taught me:
1. Taking care of a baby when your sick is the hardest thing in the world. Omg.
2. 24 hours is not long enough to go from puking your guts out to running a distance race.
3. I need to start making decisions like an adult instead of "how badass would I be if...?"
Re: Come, let me tell you about my f*cking weekend
Yay for decreasing PT frequency!
Boo for taking care of a teething kid while sick
Yikes. I spent my weekend drinking. Way to make me feel inferior.
Hope you feel better soon!

Ugh!
I'm amazed that you made it! Most people couldn't do that on their best day.
