I can be frustrated, right?!

It was our 6th Anniversary yesterday and I have to tell you about my fun surprise I had in store. We never really do much for our anniversary, just the usual dinner or dinner and a movie. Well, this year, I was bound to do something different and fun since I'm not super-pregnant or nursing. So, I made plans about 2 months ago to go to the Anniversary Inn...I got a great deal, their 2 nights and dinner at The Roof Restaurant package. I was so excited to go and I had kept it as a surprise for Curt. I had made all the arrangements for babysitters, my sister-in-law, Cherice, and my Mom were going to be taking turns, I had called to let my neighbor know about it since we do kid watching swaps and I had let Curt's job partner, BJ, know about it as well. I had worked extra hours for one of the days off and I was going to take another day off. Anyway, you get the picture, I was so prepared to have a wonderful 3 days/2 nights with just me and my husband.

So, last Tuesday, my little Rylie got the flu sickness that has been going around and I thought "Oh, I'm glad she's sick now, she should be over this in a day or two, I'm glad she didn't decide to get sick when we had our anniversary plans." Well, I shouldn't have spoken so soon....she is still really sick! So, not only did we have to cancel our fun plans...I had to let Curt know what I was going to do, so no surprise any more...but we also haven't been able to go out at all since she's still got the yucky runs. It has been the most awful sickness and I feel so bad for her, but a part of me is so frustrated that she is still sick and that we had to give up our plans because of it. Is that horrible of me? It is just so difficult to deal with all the extra laundry (we seriously washed her bedding 3 days in a row because she'd leak out of her diaper), all the cleaning up "accidents" and giving her 3-4 baths a day (one day she seriously spent most of the day getting in and out of the tub over and over again), holding her because she's ornery and clingy and on top of all of that, we've been unable to have any breaks or go out to dinner or a movie because we don't want to have anyone watch her while she's sick. So, I'm sorry that I'm rambling on, but I guess I want people to know what we're going through and find out if I'm okay to feel this way! I guess this experience makes me realize how great life is when everyone is healthy! And FYI, we did reschedule our trip for Valentines' Day weekend (I guess now I can look forward to that in another 2 months without the surprise factor for Curt, but still it's something fun to think about)!
