Ok so it's not you that make me sick. In fact I'm not the one who is or was sick. Zach is the victim of the fiendish bug. Ok I'll start at the beginning. My mom and my sister and I went down to SC for my cousins graduation. We went down Friday morning and were planning on coming home Monday evening. Yeah Right! Beth got sick on Monday and we didn't come home untill Wednesday evening. Beth was feeling perfectly fine and normal Wednesday so we thought we were out of the woods and started home. Who would have thought that she was still contagious? Anyway we got home really late Wednesday night and went to bed. Everyone was fine Thursday and Friday untill... Friday night came. Micah, Zach, and Daniel share a room upstairs. We have 2 bunkbeds in their room, Daniel and Micah share one and Zach sleeps on the bottom bunk of the other. Micah sleeps on the top. Micah wakes up in the middle of the night and just starts throwing up over the side.... right on top of Daniel. Daniel gets mom and dad and Mom cleans the carpet and gets Micah cleaned up and Zach runs into the bathroom and starts throwing up. While he is still in there Micah runs in and says hurry up hurry up. Let's just say the rest of the night was pretty hectic. Bethany and I are completely oblivious to all this fuss untill the next morning. We had piano recital on Sunday and Saturday was the rehearsal. I had 3 songs and 2 of them were played with Zach so when he couldn't come Saturday I was suddenly left with one song. Anyway, Zach didn't look very good so I asked if he wanted a drink of water. He said yes so I hurried off to get him one. He said it tasted weird and asked for tea instead so I went to get tea. Upon opening the fridge I was amazed to discover we had 2 types of juice in there so I asked if he would like juice instead he said yes. So I went to get him juice and poured a little in a glass for him to try. He tasted it didn't like it so I went to get him apple juice instead. I put the other juice away and was just getting the apple juice out when the other juice got knocked out of the fridge hit the side of the cupboards and the lid was knocked off. Horrors, this red juice was pouring all across the kitche floor. I quickly picked the bottle up but not before it managed to spill under the fridge and stove. So I cleaned the mess up, Pulled the fridge out cleaned under there, pulled the stove out and cleaned under there. What a mess!!! Then I poured Zach some apple juice and took it to him. Now I know why Jesus said if you give someone a cup of water in my name you will not lose your reward....... because he knew that sometimes it can be incredibly difficult to give someone a cup of water! After beth and I came back from rehearsal I was talking to Zach and we called the Cox's to see how far they had gotten. Anyway Zach told Sister Betsy that Bethany makes him sick! HA! Here Zach is feeling terrible and he still can't help but make a joke. Thankfully he felt well enough by Sunday afternoon to go to the recital if he stayed away from people so he went and we were able to play our songs. Yay! Everyone is feeling better now including Micah. There are no stories about him on here because he slept the entire time he was sick. Anyway thats about it except it's only two weeks untill we go down to FL and do the VBS! Yay! We are all so excited! We are going to visit with the Cox's again and have a ministry at the same time! What could be better than that?

Glad that I am not at your house....all those germs flooting around. *giggle*
So glad that everyone is feeling better. It is usually total chaos when more than one person is sick in a household.
