Calling in Sick

So I am back from the dead. I don't remember being this sick before. Usually you get sick, and after a horrible 24 hours, you start to kick it and feel better. Saturday I was out in the sun at 4 soccer games spreading the entire morning and afternoon. The boys forgot water, so I gave them mine and left the other one for the babies. By the time I got home around 6 I was BEAT! I just crashed in bed. Chet had just gotten home from hunting for 4 days but I had no energy to even talk. I got up Sunday and went to 7:30 meetings before church. I called Chet and asked him to bring my jacket it was freezing. I left midway through sacrament, and I was the only member of the relief society there. I turned over conducting to the teacher and went home and crashed. Chet was super busy all day Sunday, from one thing to the next. Monday morning he flew out at 5:20. I pulled myself out of bed to take the kids to school (only because it was raining or they would have been on bikes) and needed a 2 hour nap by the time I made the mile drive (Cael and Colby left to their own meal making skills, ritz and peanut butter!). Then I had to take Cael to preschool (PB sandwich on a piece of folded bread as we walked out the door). That landed me back out (luckily Colby crashed with me) for another 2 hours. I woke up with my alarm to go pick Cael up. After picking up him and the boys, I crashed again. Chet called and I didn't even know where the kids were. I was so sick!!! I only got out of bed to go to the bathroom, and then I thought I was going to pass out. I started crying on the phone to Chet at about 6 Monday night. He had basically been MIA for all the time (for good reasons, and we had no idea I would be this sick! I am hardly ever sick!) I had been sick, and I was of NO help to the kids. He called my best friend here in Gillette, and she was Saint Erin. She stopped and got the boys pizza, me gatorade and chicken noodle soup (oh as a side note. Chet asked Cars if I ran him to Walmart with cash if he could run in and get me some chicken noodle soup. Carson got this look on his face of complete confusion, and says, "Like carrots and celery and onion?" He didn't even know there was cans of chicken noodle soup. I thought that was really funny!) She came over and let my babies show her all kinds of tricks, let my older boys talk her ear off, all while she did my dishes and cleaned up the house. I was laying in my bed thinking I was dying! I had gotten progressively worse, and everytime I tried to drink any liquid, I couldn't keep it in me. I knew I was dehydrated but couldn't do anything about it! It was crazy. Things got worse and worse, and by the time Chet got home I asked him to take me to the hospital. I was GONE by the time I got there. They gave me something in my IV, and to tell you how gone I was I didn't even know that I got a CT scan. Chet said they had to pull me out and take out a bobby pin even. I don't remember it at all. 6 hours later, they sent me home and I've slowly recovered. Today Cars and Cart told me that they didn't feel well so I let them stay home. It is delivery day so Carter says that he wishes he could call in sick like Dad did for his job (Tuesday to help with all the kids) I told him he could, Caden would love to deliver for him. Cars gets all excited and says, me too! I told him that they would have to pay Caden their money for this week. Cars looks at me like he was really thinking in his head and says, "Caden is not getting his bow before I get my dirt bike! I will deliver because I am NOT paying him!" What a total PUNK! My boys are such punks. And I absolutely LOVE every bit of them!!! Another side note: Carter and Carson are total rock stars when it comes to stepping up to the plate. They were so helpful with the babies while I was sick. Cars gathered them in my room for family prayer and facetimed Chet, got them in their jammies, brushed their teeth, sang to them, helped them say their prayers, and put them to bed. Carter was helping with all kinds of cooking and cleaning too. They were awesome! Caden...um Cadenland I think. I couldn't be sure, I was almost in a coma!
