Oh, no! My husband had food poisoning last week.

He bought potatoe salad from Walmart on his way to hunt at camp.

He was so sick, he called off with the 'flu' on Monday. (He never calls off work!)

The next day, his boss asks him if he's over the flu.

Hubby says, "My wife says it wasn't the flu. She says it was food poisoning."

His boss asks, "How does she know that?"

My husband responds, "She should know! She's the one who cooks the food!"

AS IF, I'm purposely poisoning him! No mention of Walmart potato salad.


I hope you and your child feel better soon!

Maybe you need a dog. My newfie woke me at 2 a.m. to go outside because he loves the cold! Went back to sleep until 6 a.m. when the rest of the dogs woke to go out. Busy day here selling a few last things on ebay.

You too? I went through the same thing all day Sunday. I couldn't get out of bed due to hurting. It came on Sat night and I'm just now feeling better. Hope you feel better soon.

I have two dogs. Sadly, they are fairly well trained to sleep until I wake up---unless for emergencies but my son is usually up to handle those.

Maybe I need a new puppy!

Are you sure you both didn't eat potato salad from Walmart?

YES! Thank God you finally made it! I'm starting to wake up already!

I have so much to do! I have to write a research paper that's due by midnight tomorrow. I haven't even started it yet.

And then there are bills that need my serious consideration!

And THE LAUNDRY! Always THE LAUNDRY!

Hey there! I slept a little late this morning too....so rushing out the door now! I am feeling pretty much back to normal..but DS and DH are draggin'....DH worked from home yesterday and DS stayed home from school....

RK - hope you feel better...GI stuff is the WORST!

DewDrop - Monday ought to be interesting.....did you see we fired Josh yesterday? What a mess.

Oh well....Hopes - good luck on your paper.....

I'm outta here!

I'll do fine on my paper. I can whip perfect papers out effortlessly. I've written 6,000 word papers in a few hours that didn't need editing.

My professor is amazed. Heck, I was amazed! I know it's hard to believe based on my typing here! LOL But it's an internet forum!

I just need to wake up so I can get into the mood!

But a load of laundry is started and the dishes are done!

I'm the worst procrastinator in the world!


Glad you're feeling better!

maciesmom: Guess who I thought of when I heard they'd fired Josh? I cannot believe how terrible the Cards are. Anderson has a concussion, Mighty Max got hurt during the game. We may be starting Skelton a rookie. Dang, we may be hitting the local high-schools to come up with a QB!

I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for you. I have a project deadline due by the end of thurs nite, I am working with artists who are young and have no idea, they threw an extra song at me at the last minute - and they are being far too unappreciative for my taste.

Ugg, I've been staying up till two or three AM and getting up at seven/eight to get it done. The house is a mess and DD has been staying in her pj's all day. I'm the world's worst mother. And yesterday we made a raspberry cheesecake in the middle of it all.


mmmm raspberry cheesecake....

You can't possibly be the worlds worst mother if you made raspberry cheesecake in the middle of all that.

Hey, I'd be upset too if I were in your situation. You are relying on idiots.

Well, I guess we are dealing with the same problems. I am an idiot!
