“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” - Robert McCloskeyAll day yesterday I dealt with an upset belly which I thought I was getting rid of. By night time it got worse which lead me to believe that probably I am suffering from some really bad heart burn as a side effect from all the vomiting and trying to keep something down all day. I spent my night curled in a ball holding my belly and trying to sleep. I got some sleep that was until I woke up to vomit again, took some of the pink death (pepto) and went back to sleep. I slept for about an hour with a little bit of relief before I had to throw up again. Finally I called it a night- I wasn’t going to get any more sleep at this rate no matter how hard I tried. Plus perhaps sitting up would make me feel better. I got a glass of water and chewed down a few Rolaids and here I am. I feel like hell. Husband isn’t too happy. He says I am “always” sick and there is “always” something wrong with me. Right. Well, if your nerves were taking a toll on your body you would always be sick as well. I don’t choose to be sick it’s not like I get any damn sympathy around here unless I am bed ridden. (Not that I want any sympathy just stay the hell away from me)Obviously I am a little annoyed right now. I know it seems horrible but Husband was supposed to go down to Waco today for business. I kind of wish he did so I could be sick without that tension between us. I am so sick of feeling like I have to tread lightly to keep the peace around here. I know he isn’t the enemy here and I know he is frustrated but damn it I am too. I am hoping tomorrow will be a better day. I hope everyone is well! ~Bright Blessings~Rea

So sorry you\'re sick! Stomach issues are the worst. I hate mine. You\'re right nerves do take a toll on the body. That\'s wrong for your husband to say that. We don\'t choose what\'s wrong with our bodies. I wonder how he would feel if the table was turned. Men are usually big babies. No offense to them but it\'s true. I hope you feel better and get some space. My thoughts are with you sweetie. Love you and (((big hugs)))
Sorry you\'re no feeling well Rea. It is hard being sick and feeling guilty about it. I\'m hoping it\'s just a stomach flu and nothing more serious. You take good care of you. Love and thoughts, Odyssey
P.S. Congratulations on the 80 you got on your test the other day. I think that was great!
I hope you get to feeling better soon.
