So we drove home yesterday from Utah and the car ride was horrible. I was having issues with my sciatic nerve and it was hurting me sitting in the car for 10 hours. that was probably te worst thing i could have done with having those issues. anyways, the kids never really did sleep and moma was whining the whole time driving us nuts. thumper was awake a lot and though he did pretty good considering, it was just a lot to handle. moma had to pee or poop every five minutes even though we weren't giving her much to drink. so we kept having to pull off the road and let her go potty. it wasn't very fun. we were frustrated and just wanted to be home. i kept feeling car sick as well and looking down to deal with the kids wasn't helping. so after we got home, my back started really hurting bad. it was horrible. i could barely move (seriously). it brought me to tears a few times. it was like as soon as i got out of the car and started walking around, it just worsened by about 500 times. i was dying!!! it killed. i have had issues with my sciatic nerve before but nothing like this. it was awful. i ended up just laying down the rest of the night and after the kids went to bed, mister studly came in and used a heat massager things we have. that would help while it was on there and brought me a small bit of relief. well, at about 9:00, i started feeling sick, like i was going to throw up. i went down stairs to get a drink of water (which took me about ten minutes to do since i could not move- no joke. i could not move without gasping in pain and my eyes welling up in tears) so i went and told mister studly that i thought i was going to throw up. i asked him to bring me something to ralph in just in case, i couldn't make it to the bathroom in time. actually, i knew i wouldn't be able to make it in time because of my back. so on my way back up the stairs, i hear moma coughing. she stopped so i just continued in to the bed. as i was crawling back into bed, mister studly was walking up stairs with my trash can. i was crawlnig into bed one tiny move at a time, when i heard moma coughing again. then it dawned on me..... i yelled "she's throwing up!!! get in there!" i start to crawl back out of bed and went in there to try and help (yeah right) and sure enough, she had thrown up all over her self and her bed. so mister studly got her cleaned up and called his brother "m" to see if anyone had been sick too. during his phone call, i start in. now i'm throwing up too!! moma is in the bath, getting cleaned up, i'm barfing right next to her in the toilet and i'm just dying because it hurts my back so much. she's crying, i'm barfing and in pain and mister studly, who has a massive headache this whole time, is left to help us. i can't even get up from the floor after wards. i'm not even sure how i got down there in the first place. he had to practically lift me up all the while i'm gasping in pain and feeling like i want to die. moma gets cleaned up and sheets changed and she wants to go back to bed so we let her hoping that she doesn't barf again. oh... by the way... yes, cousin "r" was sick the night before and up barfing from 1-5 a.m. so we must have caught something from him. i just really hope the baby doesn't get it. or mister studly since it was no fun. we actually both only threw up the one time, but every time i woke up last night, i kept feeling like i was going to again. i think i willed myself not to because i was afraid to move. anyways, moma kept waking up a lot probably because she wasn't feeling well but she never got sick again. it was just an awful night. the only time i felt relief from my back is if i'm laying flat in the bed. sitting up, standing or moving in any way is just miserable. i am doing a lot better today but i'm trying to lay down as much as possible because i know that my body nees to get stretched out as much as possible in order for that nerve to stop being pinched.
anyways, we had all these grand plans for this weekend, but they're not happening now. i feel so bad because we have all this stuff to unpack and clean up from our trip. we have to get the christmas tree cleaned up and all our decorations put away. but i don't think that's going to happen for a few days at least. anyways, that was our wonderul night. fun huh??

I'm so sorry! That doesn't sound like fun at all! I hope you guys get to feeling better and that your back gets better too!
AAAAAAAH! What a nightmare! Whenever stuff like that happens I think I'm so glad I'm not a single parent and have to deal with that on my own!
