Apparently Mother Nature was not quite done. She came through yesterday and dropped a couple storms on us that were even worse than over the weekend. The wind was so rough a couple more trees went down in the neighborhood (those Bradford Pears don't stand a chance!), hail fell from the sky and rain flooded the backyard in a flash. The thunder was monstrous and unending. But it came through pretty quick and we had a blue and breezy morning.
The last 24 hours inside the house was a little stormy too. Nathan's little sickness that started yesterday turned out to be a 24 hour stomach bug that kept him from keeping down even water and crackers. "My tummy hurts" he would whine, and then get sick all over the place. As the day wore on he begged more and more for food and water. But we did as the dr's office suggested - small sips every 10 minutes for an hour after he throws up, then a small bit of plain food. If he throws that up, start over. Real food wasn't on the agenda until he stopped getting sick. Needless to say the kid didn't have real food until this morning. He got sick again at 5:30 which is when we parked ourselves on the couch for a few hours. But after a little morning snooze, the 24 hours was just about up and Nathan happily gobbled up a bagel in no time and asked for more. He was jumping all over the couch as usual by 9:30! Poor kid. But I have another notch on my mommy belt and I know what to do should it strike again - for him and us. Also, since it was raining, it was an ok time to chill inside and watch Tangled on Netflix (great movie, btw!).
Today we are taking it easy. A little food, a little rest, a little fresh air and a lot of clean up and we are back to normal. Happy as can be until the next storm hits.
