Sick of being sick

Last week was not a fun one. First, Jaxon threw up on Tuesday morning. It didn't happen again so I thought nothing of it. Wednesday afternoon Kodee threw up right before we had to go to Scouts. I changed him and we left. In the middle of our activity, he did it again. All over. I had the boys try to memorize some things while I cleaned him up again. I was frantic because Jordan wasn't there yet. Scouts ended great though. Which is good because we are starting Boys Scouts from scratch in our ward. Kodee spit up every couple of hours through the night. Then I got it. In between me trying to throw up I had to keep washing Kodee's bed sheets. About 3 am Jaxon threw up too. Great, more laundry. I think there was one hour that whole night where I actually didn't see the clock. I ended up sleeping on the guest bed in Kodee's room so we wouldn't infect Jordan with it. He was nice enough to wake up with Jaxon at 6:30 am and let us sleep til 9:30. We just lounged all day, me on the couch, and the boys on the floor. It was pathetic. The worst about it was how achey and thirsty I was. All I wanted was water, but Jordan wouldn't give me any. I think I'm still making up for loss of water because I drink it like crazy. We all went to bed early and miraculously I was fine Friday morning; except for a small headache and fogginess. The boys were also a lot better. Good thing too because we had a meeting at Jax's preschool. (That's the next post.)

All day Friday we just kept hoping Jordan wouldn't get sick because he was singing in a benefit concert that night. He seemed fine all day. We thought that since he'd gotten the flu shot he was going to be fine. Plus, we had to worry about other things. We had company come from Salt Lake so they could attend the concert. Emily went to EA with Jordan and both knew the boy for who the concert was for. Well, they arrived before I could finish cleaning the house so I was a little embarrassed. But, I've decided that it takes forever to clean the house after being sick. Luckily, they dropped their stuff off and left so I could finish mopping. I even ironed Jordan's concert shirts. (I= don't iron.)
During Jordan's rehearsal on stage me and the boys got to see some of it because we had to take some music down there. The boys loved it. Kodee, for the actual music, especially the drum beats, and Jaxon, to run around stage and up and down the aisles. Then after dinner and Jordan getting ready, and dropping the boys off, it was show time!

And guess who started the whole concert???? That's right Jordan did! He tore it up with Mika's, "Grace Kelly." The crowd went wild throughout the whole thing. Video of it is coming, but it's on his phone and Jordan always has his phone. It was a great show. I got the biggest chills when Cindy sang, "Gravity." Cindy's got some amazing pipes. All the performers, musicians, and wife, son, family members of the Guy who died.
The only bummer of the night was Ms. Texty Texterson sitting next to me. If you didn't catch the title, the girl texted practically non-stop!! I don't care if your phone is on silent we can still hear you push every single button. There were times I thought I was going to yell at her to stop texting. I pictured that happening and then the whole show stopping to look at me. Not pretty. The only reason I didn't say anything was because I filmed every one of Jordan's songs with his phone and she could have used that against me. But, you couldn't hear me push any buttons. So, I hate texting!

After the show, Jordan goes to tell me something and it's, "Guess what? I'm sick." WHAT? During one of the final numbers he thought he was going to puke all over the piano. I'm so glad that didn't happen. Thankfully he was able to be okay until later in the comfort of our own home. With company. That was interesting. Awkward at times. But, our friends handled it really well. The rest of the weekend was kind of a bust. I did take the boys down to the Salsa Fest to try and get free awesome salsa. We got there too late so I only got to try three kinds, so bummer. Then Jaxon started walking off so I had to bust outta there mid bite and we went home. Tired boys plus heat plus a hungry mom is not a good time to go out.

The weekend ended/week started with the news that the brother in our ward with colon cancer died during our sacrament meeting. It was a somber day for our ward. He was only 28 with four small children. I didn't know the family too well, but I cried during every prayer. I can't imagine losing my spouse so young. Yesterday I reflected on all of our blessings. There are so many.
