I guess losing a kg or two is handy when you are putting on a nice dress to go to a "do", however losing said weight from vomiting from Norovirus is hell on earth. I was so so so sick it wasn't funny - it came on yesterday afternoon and was a definite 24 hour bug.

Jase cheerily avoided me and headed off to work whilst I struggled to get up this morning and care for Elka. He is normally the best husband around but he definitely lost brownie points today - when I emailed him to tell him I was too weak to lift Elka (and Murphys Law - she had a sooky day and wanted lots of hugs), I got told to drink more water (ggggrr). I nearly passed out trying to change her nappy at one point. But I soldiered on, as Mums do. So then of course dear Husband then comes home from work sick with the same thing - crawls into bed (oh if only I could have done that!) and that is the last I have seen of him for the last five hours (GGGGRRRRRR). Leaving me to continue to mind bub, attend to the farriers coming to fix Spech before my Sunday competition, organise food for Elka for the next few days, prepare her babysitting things and disinfect the entire house so my parents who arrive tomorrow dont get sick too.

So am currently less than impressed.

On a side note, am off to vacumm with our brand new vacuum cleaner. For the price we paid, it really should vacuum the house without me ($700!! and no its not a Dyson - some fandangled European thing that it meant to be good, I just wanted something that will last more than a year).

Tomorrow I have to set up competition arena's and the showjumps at my club grounds, vote, orgnise baby for babysitting, get dressed and get to the luncheon by 12.30pm. Sigh - I remind myself that I love being busy - life is too short to twiddle your thumbs!

Oh, sorry you were sick. I just found you and have definitively decided to live vicariously thorugh you! hehe. My husband, 4 kids and I live on a small grain farm in rural ND and he will not let me have a horse. Boo Hiss! He claims I will get thrown off and killed or paralyzed. He is such a drama king!! Anywho, I had horses as a kid and miss them desperately. Sooo, I will follow you to fill my void. Good luck. Come visit when you get a chance.

I am so sorry you were sick.

I tell you... Men! I won't begin to start the debate about Men being sick.

Good luck this weekend. xx

About Me

Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
