what's the score? stomach flu 2, our family 1

Thursday night while editing puffs video I started feeling kinda funny, and later didn't think it was so funny when I lost it in the bathroom. I stayed home from work Friday and tried to keep away from the baby between running back and forth between the bed and the bathroom. Saturday morning I tried to convince myself that I was getting better, but it just wasn't happening. It killed me to call another adoptive family to tell them that we couldn't make their Chinese New Year party because I was still sick. I'm so upset! I soooo wanted to meet all of these families that were attending! Good thing we didn't go, as Hannah's puked twice tonight. I was singing an 80s Gloria Estefan song to Hannah (that Kevin hated) and out it went. Kevin asserted that she just doesn't like Gloria Estefan... but more came out later. I feel so sorry for her. She just lays on our stomach and stares, and periodically says "dooa dooa" when she sees Sedona go by.

Laundry is piling up as stomach flu creates five times the normal amount of laundry. The social worker arrives Wednesday morning for our first post-adoption appointment. By that time, the house will be a total wreck, Kevin will be spending all of his time in the bathroom, and we'll all be out of clean clothes and towels.

Gotta run... time to clean up Hannah again. :( I have a feeling we'll miss the Superbowl party too.


P.S. Here's links to other's blogs that were at the the Fleck's Chinese New Year Party. Carmen, I'm STILL bummed that we missed such a good time!
