totally overwhelmed

I said the hiatus would continue... Tony always jokes with me, when I am stressed he says "why don't you blog about it?" OK- I'm blogging about it. Get ready people! After my post on Thursday... I got the stomach flu, it started Thursday evening. Troy had a horrible night Thursday, he was throwing up and crying for hours during the night. Friday, I felt better- I took Troy back to the doctor, he was still having breathing problems, he was throwing up, and crying ALL the time!! The doctor said the antibiotic wasn't working and he had developed an ear infection which was probably causing the vomiting. He seemed better Friday afternoon. He was in a great mood Friday evening. Tony called and said he was really sick, same stomach virus that Sophia and I had. The pediatrician said it was same virus just presenting itself different in Troy. Tony was at work and didn't get home until late, by the time he got home he had already thrown up and was ready to sleep. He felt better this morning, Thank God! OH- Friday night, Troy ate scrubbing bubbles!! I was cleaning the bathroom and had the scrubbing bubbles on the bathtub, he ran in and put it in his mouth, I grabbed it from him and when I did he bite down and the foam filled his mouth. I broke the tip of the scrubbing bubbles off in his mouth. I cleaned his mouth and called poison control.. he is fine. But what a scare! Now to today- Troy has been feeling like crap again! I don't know when he will start feeling better but I pray that he can kick this sickness. So all of our stuff is packed, we went and got the UHaul and Tony began loading it. I had a systematic order of how I wanted everything loaded that way the kids things were to the back of the truck, so that they would be easily accessible if we needed them. I feed the kids dinner and gave Troy his antibiotic. I was getting him ready for his bath and he was running around naked then it happened... diarrhea all over the carpet, the more poo the faster he ran... it was everywhere. To make matters worse all of the cleaning things and rags and towels were in boxes somewhere in the moving truck. I just pray that he doesn't throw up or have diarrhea tonight- his sheets are in the truck and my washing machine is in the truck... which Tony and his dad drove to the new house tonight- so my washing machine and extra towels, sheets, cleaning items, etc. are 40 minutes away!!! Luckily Tony's mom (they live next door, remember!?) offered that if I need anything I can call her... I hope I don't have too but she may be getting a call tonight so that I can borrow extra towels or sheets for Troy if he gets sick. I was feeling so overwhelmed tonight. I just want to get moved, everyone to get better, and get back to a sense of balance and order in our home! Well, I am going to try and get some rest...
THERE IS MY VENT :)
Please, know I am very excited to be moving, blessed that we have found a home, soo exhausted and hoping that Troy feels better and his little body heals from this yucky sickness.
Where is Sophia in all of this? She is holding on tight and enjoying the ride. I have been stressed and her excitment and activity level is exhausting sometimes but I better appreciate that child and embrace her more during this time of change. I guess I kinda' feel guilty for being frustrated at her. I have a lot to learn from that free spirit. :)
