Mother's Day and Allergies and Stomach Bugs, oh my!

 I had a fun Mother's Day weekend.  My boys never disappoint and honor me and take care of me more than one day a year, but this one day a year just always seems extra special.  Jones wanted to get me a pokemon shirt, go golfing, and cook pizza.  I axed the pokemon shirt, compromised on topgolf and said no to pizza!
 We had sushi instead and Jones loves him some fried rice!
 Jones' pediatrician wanted him to get an allergy test done.  This kid is allergic to strawberries, high fructose corn syrup and food dyes....which I already knew AND he's allergic to beef.......  That explains why he won't eat meat!

I got the stomach bug while we were in Brownwood at a deer banquet.  The evening was fun but when we got back to the hotel it hit me.  I spent the night on the bathroom floor and had to get in a car for a 5 hour drive back to Pearsall the next day.  Jones was so mad I was not in a seat belt but I was desperate to lay down the whole way home. It lasted about 24 hours then I was good to go.  Jones got it a few days later.  I set him up a pallet on the bathroom floor too.  He would wake to throw up every hour and in between hurls he would nap on the floor.  I set up camp in our extra bedroom.  I kept the hall light on and had a clear view of him all night.  He would wake me when he had to throw up, I would clean him up and we would both go back to sleep.  We did this till 6:00 am and then we were able to sleep till 10:00.  We were both exhausted the next day and he still wasn't 100%.

 I'm in the process of getting certified  to teach and in my spare time do my studies online.  I was able to get a lot knocked off the to do list that day.  He wanted to cuddle all day and didn't want me out of that chair.  He got cuddles and I got homework done!  Win, Win!
 For some reason Cody couldn't resist the cuddles while J was sick and he came down with the stomach virus too.....  Jones took it like a champ....Cody, not so much.  BIG BABY! It took Cody 3 days to recover, ha!  Love you babe, but you are not good at being sick!
My world right here. There is nothing sweeter than these 2 souls.
