We had an uneventful ride to the mountains only to have a very eventful day the next day.

We think the chicken legs from KFC that both Little Bug and I ate for dinner the night before gave us food poisoning.

Little Bug was the first to get sick and I started feeling bad shortly after I woke up.

Little Bug was pathetic. She threw up twice and was so lethargic for the majority of the day. She sat on Grandma’s lap like this for a couple hours and even took about a 30 minute nap on Grandma’s lap.

Once again, my Mama took care of my puking child while I wasn’t feeling too great myself.

Once I no longer felt like I had to lay as still as a statue so that I wouldn’t get sick, I called Little Bug to come lay with me in the bedroom.

She was still feeling pretty bad. We both ate some chicken and rice soup and then Little Bug laid down for a nap. She woke up about an hour later and was so feverish. We got her up and brought her to the porch where she laid on the chair out there (where her Mama and Daddy started dating!) and fell asleep for another half hour or so.

The poor thing. Little Bug never just lays around all day and she basically laid around the whole day.

We had planned to all go to a delicious pizza place for my birthday and we still went but Little Bug and I didn’t eat any pizza.

Certainly wasn’t the way I wanted to spend my birthday, but we made the best of it.

It’s certainly one of those birthdays that will always be remembered!
