Somedays you're the pigeon, somedays you're the statue.

Sometimes I need reminding of what I'm doing. A reminder of how awesome it will be in another 6 months. This morning was one of those times.

My sister in law sent me a cheesy, but much needed text this morning. It was a picture that said, "Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle."

This morning, I called in sick to work. For the last few days, my morning sickness has been a little crazy. It's just like mine and Bob's kid to do this... Kind of a- Hey mom, you're in your second trimester now, but boy are you going to get sicker by the day!

Today, after eating some ritz and going back to sleep, I woke up and took Hank outside. While downstairs, I needed to throw up. I went into our downstairs bathroom. While in there, Hank decided he'd also throw up all over our mudroom, in view of me, of course. So once I finished, I walked through and got some paper towels to clean it up. As I was cleaning it up, I got sick again. En route to the toilet, I slipped and fell in Hank's puke. And then I puked on the floor too. I banged up my knee and bent my not yet bendable big toe all the way back. So that left me sprawled out in mine and Hank's puke, with a hurt knee, and a throbbing toe. Crying. And still needed to barf. Again. Of course.

When I say this has been an awful morning, I mean it's been truly awful. Now please excuse me while I go puke again.

The remedies.

So. I drove to work this morning, via two parking lots. In which I threw up. I walked into work, told my boss I was experiencing day long morning sickness, and came back home. Once life stopped spinning, I went to CVS and bought out the entire aisle of nausea aids. The best thing so far? Sea sickness bracelets. Score. Big time. I recommend.

But I figured if all else failed, at least I had Reese's cups. Those always work in any situation. I've had 5 so far today, all while wearing my awesome and stylish new wristbands!

Morning my ass.

So. Morning sickness is no joke. All day "morning" sickness is just plain wrong. I have cravings for food, but when it comes down to it, it all makes me sick. Bleh.

Like the cheesefries the other night- bleh. And the unopened bags of steak fingers in the freezer- bleh. And the Publix fried chicken that we purchase by the bucket- bleh.

For now, it's ritz crackers, ginger chews, and ginger ale. So gourmet
