the plague

last night, around 7, me and the mister both started feeling queasy. By 9, I was fully engaged in the battle and then threw up all night long... every hour or hour and a half. And I still feel rotten. REALLY rotten.

or some old shellfish? y'know...oysters that have been sitting around a while off ice...or some month old crawfish...y'know, something along those lines. It'll make you feel much better!

Nate said...

eh..

Josh said...

I remember kissing a snotty baby. My little Chelsea is all grown up. Such a big girl now. . . brings a tear to my eye.

Josh said...

Or you could just eat a 2- to 3-inch horned, crunchy Madagascar hissing cockroach.

If it’s good enough for Six Flags, it’s good enough for me.

Josh said...

I think Bill Clinton should eat a cockroach.

Josh said...

Actually, I think Bill Clinton is a cockroach.

Are you a cockroach, Bill? I have some food especially for cockroaches. It’s some nice white powder that’s very lethal. . . uhh um,. . . I mean tasty. Would you like to try some?

jess said...

you are all hilarious. now shut up.

Beth said...

so did y'all eat something horrible that made you sick? and if yes, what was it? i'll steer clear....

Josh said...

I prefer to think of myself as less of a cockroach, and more of an African horned dung beetle, Thank you very much, kangaroo boy.

jess said...

We haven't figured out the connection... the last time we ate the same thing was Wednesday night.... the green sauce at Cafe Adobe... other than that, we have had very different diets.

jess said...

no, Richy's got it, too... we slept all morning, which makes me think it's more of a virus. Toby is sick, too.

yikes!

Beth said...

yum
green sauce at cafe adobe is the best----but it doesn't keep well; you didn't take it home, did you?

well, back to court now.

oao

I am going to seclude myself and stay away from all grandkids til this passes through our end of the world. I cannot have 102 for 5 days .....Is that really what this virus is...

Josh said...

Too bad southern Texas doesn’t have any hills to hide in. You’ll just have to lay in the ditches instead, you got plenty of them.

jess said...

the Clarks don't have fever or any of that... just tired and puking

Nate said...

back from Doc...

stomach bug...

going around the county like wildfire

I'm on the "end of it"

just dehydration to deal with now she says

be back at work tuesday

Josh said...

God Bless America

Nate said...

oh ya...hmm, I might need to get Senor Chris to play for me

Josh said...

Land that I love...

BethC said...

happy Friday

Josh said...

Stand beside her, and guide her

Josh said...

I don't remember singing this one in Boy Scouts.

Bug Juice
Tune: On Top of Old Smokey

At the camp with the Boy Scouts,
They gave us a drink.
We thought it was kool-aid,
because it was pink.

But the thing that they told us,
would've grossed out a moose,
For that great tasting pink drink,
was really bug juice.

It looked fresh and fruity,
like tasty kool-aids,
But the bugs that were in it,
were murdered with Raid.

We drank it by gallons,
we drank it by tons,
And the next morning,
we all had the runs.

So the next time you drink bug juice,
and a fly drives you mad,
He's just getting even,
'Cause you swallowed his Dad'.

Nate said...

what a horrible song.

Just watched Zathura....wow...that was intense! Maybe cause I'm all dehydrated and my heartrate is already up, but man...that was a good movie. The astronaut was a bit predictable, but it feels good to predict something and be right...anyway...

Mama PC said...

okay... i'm here, since all of you are gone...

yep, you all must have a bug... some get the runs, some get ths emesis (vomiting), most get the fever (102-ish)...

j has had all but the emesis, PLUS the rash... i'm going to look up scarletina now on the web...to see if that's what he has... but, his fever only lasted two days... tron, what's wrong with YOU!

Mama PC said...

j had strep throat, in August... with very little sore throat... but, felt really bad so, he went to doc - they did a strep test - and BINGO it WAS strep (we didn't even suspect it!) anyway, they gave him a pcn shot... ...

so, it's been approx 6 weeks - and he has a rash happen all over his body, blotchy rash - then, tues and wed he had 102+ fever... and the rash continues, but he feels mucho better?

so, monday, we need to get him to the doc for a recheck on the strep, i suppose... scarletina aka scarlet fever is very dangerous and is actually the strep gone systemic...

i've been too busy to worry with my 19 year old son... but, now ought to help him, don't you think? he's more independent now, and doesn't want much help from old mom... but, as a nurse, don't you think i ought to direct him in the right direction???

but, he doesn't like me making suggestions right now...

then again, he likes me making him sandwiches...

so, the life of a 19 year old male...

Mama PC said...

did you all hear Brandon Rains' brother got killed in an accident today? horrible accident...

pray for the family...

the service will probably be Mon afternoon... they are neighbors of mine - and their dad and my dad are good friends...

Brandon's mom works in the same office with Lindsey

jess said...

Charles?? How horrible.... he was my friend. Oh, how sad.

Mama PC said...

i did not know him...

he had just got a new job with a landscaping company, was helping landscape the new Margaritas on the Loop today, and a tree FELL on him!

What a shock for the family...

I feel so bad for them all...

Mama PC said...

er you feelin' any better now, jess?

jess said...

I feel a little better.... still so sick. I can't eat or do anything, but I don't think I'm going to throw up anymore...

Charles Rains was one of Tim Davis' best friends.

Josh said...

Man, that is very sad. I've only met Charles a couple times, but was very close to Brandon. I feel so sad for the family for an accident like that to happen.

Josh said...

I was just playing with Keith tonight after dinner and telling Shannon that it was when he was about 1.5 months old, and I was watching pictures on our screen saver of Shannon and Keith together, that I felt deeply in my heart this feeling of “if we lost Keith now, my heart would be crushed inside me.” That was when my bonding with him had reached the point where life, for me, would now be different if we lost him.

I can’t imagine what a mother and father feels for their adult child to be lost at still a young age. Very, very sad.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Where is Brandon now? Is he local?

Mama PC said...

rumor has it that he still lives and/or goes to school at SAM HOUSTON STATE UNIVERSITY

he's at his parents' home right now...

Nate said...

he came to Godstock and performed with us on a song

Mama PC said...

hi, sivad... how did you know the rains? did they used to go to CTK?

Josh said...

It wasn't even a tree the crew was working on. Man, that is so sad.

Nate said...

oh gosh, thats horrible

jess said...

Where is the funeral? is it open?

BethC said...

did John Carm. know charles well? close?

jess said...

John knew him... not sure how close they were... all the Midway boys were really close to Brandon, so they all grew up together

Mama PC said...

time for zzz's

Mama PC said...

Nate said...

Nate said...

unless it's dissapointing or sad or something...in which case...what is the news? :?

Mama PC said...

well, the topic was some of which was at the dinner table today, tron...

Mama PC said...

i'll be back in a momento...i'm researching Thailand...

Beth said...

hello bloggies

Beth said...

are you moving to thailand?

Nate said...

hmm..going to college? going to thailand? that sounds like a very fun trip...when is it?

Beth said...

hmmph.
mamapc seems to be overly engrossed in research---or else mischeviously (sp?) keeping us in suspense.

what is the NEWS?

Nate said...

this is fairly wrong...

Beth said...

will someone please contact mamapc and explain to her the definition of a "momento"?

Nate said...

haha...

momento: a phrase used to ask for another of a specific round white mint packaged in tubes known for it's explosive characteristics when mixed with diet coke.

Mama PC said...

oh, are you all a-waitin'???

Nate said...

hence:

"uno momento"

Mama PC said...

since i last spoke to you, i've been warming up a plate for john and then linds came home.... and...

Mama PC said...

oh, and wondering what God needs people to do in Thailand...

Beth said...

no no
that's a mento

different

Beth said...

why wondering?

Mama PC said...

i want one mo momento...

Nate said...

mento..right... "one more mento" anyway...it was a joke...y'know the kind you laugh at

Beth said...

i might have to catch up tomorrow if this momento is as long as the last

Mama PC said...

well, several months ago, we made ourselves available to go to Thailand - to help train worship leaders over there...

but, now, we are searching diligently God's heart and if HE wants and needs us to go there during this season...

right now there is a trip in the works for January - for a music team to go...

Beth said...

i laughed on the inside

Mama PC said...

but the NEWS is....

Nate said...

hmm...have there been any meetings about it? or is it one of those "invite only" type things?

Mama PC said...

SING SING is here! the TRUE SING SING... AND I LIKE HER!!!

she's very sweet...and actually a beautiful little song of a cat...

Nate said...

NEWS...si news...

Mama PC said...

well, as far as i know, no meetings have happened yet, except for tonight there is one scheduled HERE betwixt 4 Crouse

Nate said...

ah...this is what I figured it was, and what of the dog? What did you do to the poor dog?

Beth said...

ha!
lol

Mama PC said...

to hear what God is speaking... collectively...

We wanna be only where He wants us to be....

I just read that Thailand is the least evangelized nation in the world...

Nate said...

si...where He wants us is a good place to be...away from that is not so pretty

Beth said...

si

Mama PC said...

but, we aren't really "evangelists"...

Mama PC said...

but, we are called to teach and mentor other musicians and worship-leaders.... so, if they need this...

it will be used to lead the ones who are "evangelized" to the Throne...

what was that scripture this morning... where it gave a point about the East? It was one of the last scriptures in the message...

Beth said...

of course t

Beth said...

you are!

Mama PC said...

clam! where did you go??? your clam is missing>>>

Beth said...

idk

Beth said...

it's in and out

Mama PC said...

oh, there you are...

anyway... we need to hear from God whether or not HE wants us to go... because no one wants to go on a mission for the wrong reasons or without His blessing...

and there is a lot of preparation, plus life here...and a possible wedding in January as well... so, need to KNOW!

just a sign or a peace or a Knowing, ya know???

Beth said...

i thought the wedding was in november

Mama PC said...

so, we're fixin' to go into a POW WOW... pray for us, please...for clarity...

for guidance...

for peace...

for wisdom...

for direction...

ok - pow wow time at the table...

oao

oh, and supern8erate - tell Anila that Sing Sing is doing well and loves to rub up against Mama Pam's legs, OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!!
