Tom got my 24 hour flu beginning the night of the day that I got better... or so we thought. He took it really hard and couldn't keep more than one sip of water down. I had to plug my ears because him getting sick was loud enough that down the hall in the living room I could clearly hear it. I was better but my stomach still wasn't perfectly happy with me yet. Keeley had also thrown up in bed the night that I was getting better. Tom spent wednesday in bed. He didn't get sick at all that day but he was so worn out from being so sick he just didn't want to get up except to go to the bathroom. I convinced him to get up eventually when I asked him to feed a fruit chiller thing to keeley because it was a frozen dessert and she couldn't manage the spoon so she kept whining cuz she made her hands too cold trying to eat it with her hands. I got the kids bath ready while she was still eating and aiden went in first. Tom brought keeley in to me when he was done feeding her dessert to her.
Keeley got sick in bed again that night. Tom's kidney's were bothering him but he didn't get sick anymore. In fact he felt well enough that he started begging for something in bed. I gave him the "yeah but you still feel sick" and he said yeah so... Well I gave in and he had fun but then complained of burning right after. He rolled of still having the burning but managed to fall asleep. In the morning he had to pee so he got up and went to the bathroom. He said he started peeing and then all of a sudden stopped but still felt like he was peeing kinda. Then all of a sudden he said it felt like he was passing a bubble. It didn't hurt but.. he passed his kidney stone!! He had to fish it out of the toilet because he said he was not waiting for the next one to occur and pass to try to catch that one. Now that he caught it and saved it they can test it to see what it's made of and therefore give him proper instructions on how to prevent his stones. He was so happy he passed it that he took it with him to work to show a cowarker that likes to give him crap for missing work. When he started giving him crap he showed it to him and the guy said... "wait... that came out of your..." Tom said yep and the guy was like oh ok I understand you being out of work I would be too. I can just imagine him walking away with his legs crossed like he got kicked in the nuts. LOL Well anyways we figured out the throwing up and fever and stuff he had was probably his kidney stone because his brother had all that a couple days before passing his stone too.
So Tom's kidneys are still sore but at least he passed the stone. I can't wait to hear what it's made out of. I can almost guarantee the majority will be caffeine and calcium but he's determined that's not it.
wednesday night I did a bunch of picking up and throwing away all the stuff that accumulated from the kids playing with their toys and getting into stuff while we weren't feeling the best. So it looked a lot better after that but still needed work. Then yesterday I picked up a lot more and even managed to vacuum. I was really tired but somehow I managed to motivate myself to do all that and around 5pm last night I even started letting keeley run around naked and setting a timer to put her on the potty every 20 minutes. She didn't go in the potty but she didn't go at all so I'm planning start that again after I get off the computer because they just got done eating and are watching tv. She absolutely loved it when I put her on the potty last night and she even went and sat on it a couple times on her own. She gets upset when aiden is allowed to go in the bathroom to dump the potty and flush the toilet and wash his hands. I won't let her go in there because she has tried to splash her hands in the toilet too many times. But it also became an incentive for potty training because I told her she can only go in there if she starts using the potty like her brother. She seems interested so I figured why not. Plus it makes me focus on the kids more and not get tired so quick before nap time.
Tonight my mom is coming out so we can use her car to pick up a dresser and hutch from freecycle.
Saturday morning at 10am we are going to look at meadow lake in white lake... a manufactured home subdivision we might move to. Then we are probably going straight to allen park for Tom's family's armenian christmas. After that the kids and I are supposed to spend the night at my parents house. My mom and I are going out to kareoke after the kids are in bed. My dad will be home so somebody will be there with the kids.
We will probably go home the next afternoon after the kids nap. Tom is going to a business appointment about server protection options for his work and should be home before us because it is in royal oak but they shouldn't take too long he is just going in to find out pricing. Then maybe we will take the kids to the mcds play place again. After the kids are in bed I get to meet Colby!! Yay!!! And yes Colby that is still the plan and tom agreed to watch the kids no problem.
Well... better go potty training and underwear training time!
