Got Bugs?

If you haven't talked to me in the last few days, it would be important to note that we have had a stomach bug.
And when I say, "we" I mean, "I."
Sort of...
(Seph - you need to ask Landon why this is funny...)

Sunday morning I woke up with amazing tummy trouble.
It proceeded throughout the day - to the point that, if C. hadn't been here, my kids would have had no reasonable level of care. I can only think of maybe two other times in motherhood that I was that violently ill.

Most of the day Sunday, Chris and I had to remind the kids why Mommy couldn't do __x__.
Or why Mommy couldn't hold them... Or why Mommy was sick.
We decided to use the term "tummy bug" when referring to my ailment.

Several times throughout the day A. would look down my shirt and say, "Where's the bug, Mommy?"

I would laugh and explain that it was too small to see and that it was inside my tummy.

In the middle of the night, as luck would have it, A. ended up getting sick too.
Quite sick.
This morning, after a really rough night, she woke up and said, "Mommy, I found your bug."

I thought I might have found this bug. But I don't think it liked me. Maybe it was a different bug. A baby bug!
