Go me! OK, so I have had a viral infection that has been wreaking havoc on my intestines for the last 24 hours but still!

I have to admit, I was a little bit nervous. Despite my queasy stomach I was extremely hungry all day yesterday. I couldn't stop eating. I am sure this goes back to the whole "food fixes everything" syndrome I have. I am probably the only person who could have the flu and gain weight...

I was supposed to go out to dinner with a girlfriend on Friday night. She called at 5 p.m. and said she was going to have to stay at work for an extra two hours. I told her to just call when she was ready, that I didn't really care what time we went, I was just happy to go.

At 6:50 ish Ori comes to me and says that horrible phrase -

"Mommy, I don't feel so good."

Of course, we all know what follows that phrase...vomit, and lots of it.

It was a good thing my friend has to postpone our dinner for a few hours. Octavio is a great man, but there is a kind of patience that is required while dealing with a vomiting child.

I had to cancel my dinner with my friend but we'll reschedule. We were also supposed to go to dinner at a friend's on Saturday but had to cancel that as well.

Thankfully it was only a 24 hour thing for Ori. It seems to be lingering a bit longer with both Octavio and I.

I felt really guilty about sitting on the couch all day Saturday and Sunday. I stayed up all Friday night with Ori. We slept in the living room and I was just exhausted on Saturday. About noon is when the rest of the symptoms starting coming.

I felt like I had to either poop or puke and yet I was still trying to decide whether I would be able to to my resistance bands without leaking from one end or the other. I felt even worse yesterday but still contemplated going out for a run, hoping the fresh air would help. Needless to say I didn't do my routine either day. I'm alright though. As Kellie says, "You can't plan poop."

And might I add, "You can't plan anything else either."

Octavio ran the 10K this weekend. I am so proud of him! This was his first race and he did it in just over 47 minutes. Leslie finished right around 01:10:00.00!

HUGE KUDOS to LaVonda for finishing it in 59:59!! WOWZA!
