Sick as a Dog Literally

Sickness overwhelmed the Tillery household for two of its family members this week. As I was working with my client Monday night, I began to feel very sick. I had to race out of my class that follows my session with my client, and I barely made it home before the stomach virus that I had took effect. I was sick all day Tuesday and just when I thought I was better I started to feel even worse than before. I usually don't miss school and it almost killed me to miss not just one but two days. Apparently there was a virus going around at school because one of the other third grade teachers had it and some other faculty and students as well.

As I was trying to get better at home, my lovely girls kept me company. I absolutely love Sophie and Bella and they kept me company in the bed for two whole days. Sophie isn't what I would say spunky anymore like Bella still is, but she just wasn't her self. She started throwing up on Tuesday, too, and I thought I made her sick at first but that would be crazy. She kept getting sick right along side of me and we were both miserable. Wednesday about midday though she threw up a cigarette butt, but it's worse she had gas for the rest of the day that smelled like tobacco. I know it's gross but it is true and boy does that make a person with a stomach virus even more nauseous. My best guess is that she ingested a cigarette from the back yard (our neighbors smoke and are not very considerate of where they throw their cigarette butts especially when they are mowing) and her body was just trying to reject it. As soon as it came up she was back to her normal self. It wasn't that simple for me, but I am feeling better now, thank goodness!
