Bleh

I feel yucky today. It actually started last night, but I thought my stomach was off because I didn't eat normally for me.

Scott and I went to lunch at a cute little French bistro yesterday. The food was super-yummy, we shared a scrumptious chocolate pudding dessert (called "pot de creme" -- pronounced "poe du crem"), and I thoroughly savored the chance to have him all to myself for 2 hours.

I was quite full the rest of the day, so I didn't do anything big for dinner last night. I gave the kids grilled cheese and Scott and I had bowls of granola after we got them to bed. I also have some sliced strawberries with whipped topping.

I felt a bit weird going to bed last night, and even worse this morning. I'm wiped out and when I tried eating some yogurt, that just prompted vicious stomach aches and cramping. My body is purging at the moment, and every time I eat or drink anything, that sets off 30-60 minutes of aches and cramps.

I can't decide if I ate something bad yesterday -- perhaps the sauce with the pork in my lunch or the whipped topping of unknown age with the strawberries? Or do I have some stomach virus that's going to sweep through the family and flatten everyone over the next 24-48 hours? That would really stink since I have a council meeting to run tomorrow evening, at which I'm also presenting a proposal for our 2006 goal.

And why is it that children are irresistably drawn to adults laying down? It's like I'm a magnet for rough-housing and elbows to the gut today.

Bleh.
