I Wanna Call in Sick :(

Yeah... no help here, either (when I had food posioning, I literally strapped my son in the carseat and we lived in the bathroom for 2 days).

When it's NOT that severe... we watch a LOT of movies. And my son helps me (gets drinks, helps with chores, etc.) since he was very little. Helps teach empathy. He doesn't GET to just carry on with his usual life when I'm sick. When I'm sick, he helps.

I got food poisoning a few months back and my son played on my iPad just about all day. If I wasn't in the bathroom, I was passed out on the bed. That's how I confirmed that all the claims about the iPad having 10 hours of battery life were true!

Can you block off your living room? I used to put on movies, lots of comfy blankets on the floor for kids, couch for me and cups of cheerios or other snacks. The living room would be a mess, but i would get a to lay down. I hope you feel better soon!

I take naps and go to bed early. Drink lots and lots! I also will drink a full glass of water before taking my naps or going to bed early. I hope you feel better soon!!

I call my mama! :)

If I can do it by myself, the kids watch A LOT of TV and play tons of video games or play on the computer. I don't care as long as they're quiet and leave me alone! I get my husband to feed them or pre-make sandwiches. They can get their own snacks and drinks.

Feel better soon!

I take Tylenol and Sudafed and make sure I repeat the doses so I can think clearly and not have a massive headache!! I pop on Netflix, break out the crayons, have cuddle up and read time on the couch, I let everyone chill in jammies if need be, I make pb&j and fruit for lunch, I let them pick a movie and snooze on the couch while they watch. Just give yourself a break and realize that your kids can have a chilled out day at home while you are getting well. You don't have to entertain them and they will be just fine :D Feel better soon!!!

Can your husband call in sick and take care of the kids for a day? Or should I say....take care of his wife...for the day? You could lock yourself in your room and have him watch the kids and make you lunch in bed! Take a bunch of nyquill and rest, rest, rest. It will help you get back on your feet!

Take some Emergency vitamin C right NOW. I swear you drink that stuff (all natural) and you will start to feel better immediately!! Drink that, take a hot bath and soak tonight, get some good sleep and continue to drink that Emergency and you will feel a heck of a lot better by tomorrow, guaranteed. Works for me EVERY time!

We have had a tummy bug going through here for more than a week now. It's been hitting the daycare kids, their parents, and my family off and on. It's complete with body aches, fever, and lots of vomiting. There's no knowing who's next and by the time the child throws up, they have already exposed everyone again.

The last 2 nights in a row I woke up with that horrible hot/cold, nausea, dizzy feeling. Both nights I was having none of it. I got up and turned on healing school through www.kcm.org. I laid in bed with my computer on a chair next to me and watched it. It passed because God does NOT want us sick! Sickness comes from satan, pure and simple.

My grandson just threw up again and it's been a week since he had it. I wish I could believe for him.

Cripes- get off the cross and dump the kids at your friend's house. The longer you put off taking care of yourself, the longer you'll feel this way.

You'd do the same for a friend, right? Just be willing to reciprocate sometime.

Get some sleep!!
