nothing says love quite like crackel barrel

...I mean Cracker Barrel.  Oh, and 3 out of 4 family members being sick.  The last few days have been full of surprises.  On Wednesday, Tobey got pretty sick.  It was his first stomach virus, but he took it like a champ.  He started with a runny nose and cough, and then in the afternoon, he started to get a fever.  We were supposed to have a play date, but I saw him just laying on the ground, like he was real tired.  So I cancelled the play date and took his temp.  He had a low-grade fever so I put him in my bed with the laptop and a movie.  When the movie was almost over, he got up so I thought he was better, but then he threw up on the side of the bed.  I guess he didn't know what was going on.  After that he got sick about a half dozen times, and was not talking at all.  He was so pathetic.  But that was the worst of it.  He woke up in the night with a fever, but he was fine after I gave him some IBprofan.

The next day was Valentine's Day, and Adam and I were not planning to do anything, but Adam's mom offered to babysit.  Since we didn't have any reservations, we thought we'd go somewhere that would most likely not have a wait...Cracker Barrel.  Love that place!

But Friday sickness struck our house again.  This time it was me and Jonah.  Runny nose, slight fever, achie-ness...no fun.  Poor Jonah had no clue what was going on and would not sleep in his crib by himself.  Adam and I pretty much held him all night.  And since I was (and still am) sick, it was pretty much awful.  I'm hoping for a better night for all of us tonight.  (Oh, and Tobey fell out of his big boy bed too.  But he pretty much slept through it because he went right back to sleep.  I doubt he even remembers.)

Ok so back to happier things...Adam had two surprises for me on Valentine's Day.  #1:  He came home for lunch and gave me flowers and chocolate.  #2:  He had this card sent to me.  :)
