So.
Its been a long couple of days. A long, gross, pukey mess couple of days. Blech.
Since Friday night, my whole little Hocker family of four has been completely consumed with the flu. There is just no denying it. My laundry room is full of foul laundry to wash, we've gone through who knows how many bottles of Gatorade and Pedialyte, and our DVD player has put in overtime in the amount of movies we've watched these past couple of days. It just hasn't been fun.
Dave came home from his track meet Friday night and seemed fine. He went out to Wendy's with the track kids after the meet, and all was well. Fast forward to later that night where the, you know, begins. We chalk it up to food poisoning and move on. I take the kids to Mimi's house to let him get some rest. Enter Sunday evening, when Dave is seeming to be on the upswing. James takes bath because his tummy hurts (which makes sense to me- he ate two pieces of pizza at dinner!) to help. After I hear him cough (or choke? It was a very weird sound..) I go to the bathroom to see that he has tossed the cookies. A couple hours after that, it was my turn! Yay! And in the morning (after being up all night, you know...) we find that Clara indeed did get sick too, but didn't let us know. It was dried everywhere in her crib. She even handed Dave a grape from her dinner when he came in to get her. So nice of her, right?
So let's recap:
Number of times someone, you know...: 20+
Number of times someone, you know....in the toliet, or right place to throwup: Let's say 12ish
Number of loads of laundry we've done: Countless
Amount of time spent watching movies: Probably three days straight
Days taken off work: Two
Hopefully, we've reached the end. No one has done anything for almost twelve hours, so that has to be a good sign. We're praying we get done with this soon!
Aren't you all glad you stopped by to read my bloggity blog today?
P.S. Shout out to Mimi and Corie who provided us with things to survive- laundry soap, movies, coloring books, Pedialtye, Sprite, etc.. We are so grateful. And even more grateful that we didn't get you sick!

So sorry to hear about all the sickie Hockers! Hopefully the rest of the week proves to be better! Thinking of all of you and wishing you better health (or at least better aim with "you know what," less laundry, and great movies). Take care! Love and hugs!
Oh no!!! So sorry to hear you all got knocked down! ((HUGS)) to you all and let me know if you need help!
It's just not fair that you all had to have it at once. Bless your widdy hearts. I'm so sorry for you all. Mommas are supposed to be immune, aren't they? Praying you will all be healthy and (cleaned up!) soon.
