1. My digestive system has been in full rebellion since Monday evening. Remember when I said that the stomach virus that went around our house seemed to have run it's course? I couldn't have been more wrong. And remember when I was thinking in my head, "Oh, thank heavens! A sickness I didn't get!" No? Well, I totally was. And then BAM! Talking to God down the big white telephone while kneeling on the bathroom floor, wishing I would just die already.
2. Throwing up SUCKS. The funny thing about it is that other than pregnancy and a couple of ill-timed water drinkings at sports events, I can barely remember the last time I threw up because I was actually sick. It's been years. Like since I was a little kid.
3. The bad news about me being sick is that for some reason, being sick messes with my body balance more than it messes with other people's body balances. At least I think it does. I felt much better yesterday, but still my legs are cramping and my stomach is rumbling. I feel just a little off kilter. It makes me feel like it's impossible to get anything done.
4. I'm trying to talk everyone I know into running the Turkey Trot 5K with me on Thanksgiving Day. Yeah, I know. I always talk about running things and then never follow through. Mostly because just even getting up the courage to run for a couple of minutes scares me. I've never been in worse shape than I am now and trying to get back in shape...ugh.
5. Carolyn is obsessed with plastic drinking bottles. She carts them around all day long putting the lids on and then handing them to me to take the lids back off.
6. She is also obsessed with animals. Whenever she sees an animal on TV, she squeals, points, and runs to the TV. So, every morning, we now watch animal videos on You Tube.
7. I'm so tired of my recurring dream - I have it at least once a week. I'm back at BYU. It usually takes one of three courses: 1. I have no idea what classes I'm registered for or where they are. 2. I've forgotten to bring anything to live with - no sheets, no towels, no cookware. 3. I can't figure out how Husband and Carolyn are supposed to live with me in single's housing. Last night it was all three at the same time. Except my bed was one of those deck chairs with an egg crate on it and I was forced to wear all pink clothes as assigned by my English teacher.
8. I filled up my gas tank yesterday for $8 less than last week. It's basically a miracle.
9. I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that it's already October. I feel like I've lost several months. And also because since it's October, shouldn't it be getting colder?! Like not 75 degrees first thing in the morning? For the love...
10. When I make my own world, kids are going to come out of the womb knowing how to go to the bathroom in the toilet. I think it's only fair.

I'm running the Turkey Trot!! I've done it every year for the last 6 years or so, (except last year, because NOBODY wanted to support me and my motivation was nigh unto -4...assuming there is a motivation scale). We're doing it.
I'll do the Turkey Trot if I don't have to actually run.
I thought I was the only one who had BYU nightmares. Mine has to do with being in advanced Theoretical Physics courses I've never taken the pre-requisites for and the professor won't let me drop. "Everyone needs to understand String Theory regardless of their background in Physics! This is important for your life!" I wake up in a cold sweat because I'm convinced I'm going to flunk out and work at Burger King. (shaking in fear!)
Aloe Vera Juice for the vomits. Seriously. You can buy it straight up, but I wouldn't drink it that way. I like mine ice cold with a little apple juice or Wal Mart sells it next to the Tums already mixed with a flavor. It's not the kind of thing you'd drink on purpose, but if you're feeling urpy or have heart burn, it's awesome. I also give it to my kiddos diluted in some juice when they have a stomach bug, but I don't know that I would give it to kid under two because aloe can have plant latex in it. Kinda depends on which kind you get and how it was derived.
Basically, after drinking you barf one more time, drink a little more juice and you're done tossing cookies.
