Christmas 2004

This Christmas was one of the worst of my life.  I of course had to work because Christmas Eve is one of those black out days, no one can request time off.  So our plan was to go to Joes parents house Christmas Morning.  On the eve of Christmas we had a fun little party at work. All of us girls were working and we all brought different goodies and did a gift exchange.  My mananger cooked some awesome barbecue wings (which were awesome!!)  I left work with a smile on my face and felt good. That night at around 1pm I awoke with an upset stomach and ran to the lou and emptied my stomach of some of its contents.  This happened about six more times before morning finally dawned.  I though briefly of the chicken wings and how even though they had sat out all night we still kept snacking. I imagined other co-workers hunched over their toilets. 

So the next morning being the good wife and daughter in law that I am I faithfully went to my inlaws house.  I was so sick, I had been heaving all night.  Joe opened presents merrily and I just sat with my coat on feeling miserable.  I actually don't remember much of that day.  So the fallowing day I was scheduled to work but called in sick.  When I was finally able to go to work  my manager made a bet that I was pregnant but since I was ON my period I gladly took the bet. (we bet a snickers bar haha) Oh and no one else got sick but me!!!! :(
