While its not as bad as being sick for more than one day, food poisening just slams you to your knees (literally) and kicks your ***. I found out its worse though when you're trying to deal with a clingy baby and a 4 yr old with enough energy to keep the entire city of Boston lit for a week.
Having to run around a lot yesterday with the kids I decided to be lazy and grab some McDonalds Drive through with the thought I could actually relax for a few minutes before continuing on with my day. Unfortunately, the food did not agree with me and within an hour I was running to pray to the bathroom goddess.
It took 4 hours to be done running marathon laps to the bathroom in between taking care of the little guy. Im lucky that my mother doesnt live too far away and works as a teacher. I was able to call her up after school and asked her to come over to watch the kids while my body worked on dying. Ever gracious as she is, she swooped in, took charge, sent me to my room (which she got a kick out of seeing as she hasnt been able to do that to me since I was a kid) and allowed me time to recoup, while she fed my little guy and played video games with my bigger guy.
I woke up feeling on top of the world this morning, and have been able to continue as if nothing untoward happened, but I think Im off fast food for a long time. Anyone else get smacked upside the head with food poisening lately?
