2006 April : Hello! My name is… Imelda Bettinger

My family and I have been sick since Friday. I thought I got food poisoning from lunch but my lunch buddies who ate the same thing were fine. I was puking violently and had other issues. I also had chills and a headache. Its Tuesday and my stomach is still not normal.

The only thing that made us feel good was spending time outside. Sunday afternoon, after eating watermelon, Danielle, Mason and I took a nap in the front yard. The grass felt great and the weather was perfect. I am surprised Mason slept but he seemed confortable. The sun moved while we were sleeping and Mason got a tiny farmer tan!

Matt stayed home yesterday because he was sick. Mason had too many watery stool diapers I had to pick him up today.

Danielle has only had a touch but I hope she doesn’t get worse when we all get better. Even my neighbor got it. I have heard a lot of others having this same thing. Please let us get over it soon.

On another note, today is my parents 35th wedding anniversary. I really am grateful for thier marriage. They are great roll models. Just them being married helps my marrriage out tremendously. It especially gives me strength knowing my husband and dad are exactly alike (same birthday) and my mom hasn’t killed him yet! Happy Anniversary mom and dad!!

family, sick
