chicken, legos, and mama’s got a bug
I asked Matthew(7) what my next blog post should be about.
Without having to think about it he replied, Chicken. And my new Lego set.
Maybe he was the wrong person to ask.
Either way, I feel challenged. So now I’ve got to come up with a Lego chicken post.
1 hour later I got sick.
I started typing this post out yesterday evening and then put it on hold to watch a movie with Kait and the hubster. Then, in the middle of that movie it became suddenly obvious that I had indeed contracted whatever thing my two boys had the night before.
So now I’m sitting here, waves of nausea coming on with the weirdest contractions I’ve ever had trying to figure out how to post about chicken when just thinking about chicken makes me feel like my insides are going to become my outsides.
Walmart has fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.78 a lb. And not the sub-par kind. But the perfect kind that when you take a bite you just know it came from the most perfect hen in the coop. It’s cheaper than ground beef right now and I definitely prefer chicken to ground beef most days.
When I’m not throwing up, anyway. Right now they both sound pretty atrocious.
And if one more kid tries to shove a Lego set in my face, explaining about all it’s amazingly intricate devices and purposes while all but following me into the bathroom I’m going to let Jesse loose in their bedroom. Alone.
Done.
So there is my Lego chicken post. Now I’m going to lay down and watch something on Netflix and wait for the rest of my family to get back from church. Then I’m going to fuss a little to get some pity, and maybe take a nap.
And if these weird nausea contractions keep up I might just have a baby today, too.

You are an amazing blogger…chicken and legos in one whilst ill. I stand in awe.
Seriously hoping the weird contractions are labor!
You’re right! I am an amazing blogger!
Yo Sister I sure hope we didn’t give y’all this bug. I thought I was doomed to real bad morning or all day sickness for the next 6 weeks, until it went away after a few days. Now I’m really very congested and I can only take Tylenol. What good does that do? Nobody else here had anything but a fever. Hope you all feel better.
It does appear we swapped germs during our visit. We were just getting over a cold, which apparently we gifted to you. You gave us… Something.
And now we have a Wii fit thanks to you, too.
We didn’t get fevers but the kids who didn’t get sick went 2 days without an appetite and were uber exausted. The only ones of us who actually got sick were the ones who ate.
It was weird.
Did I really just use the word uber? What’s wrong with me?
Hope you do feel better soon! I really want to see you before that baby comes, but we too have some sort of bug, along with all 3 of the kids birthdays this month. So, as soon as you feel better, and we are over our junk, we must get together, even if it’s only a couple hours one afternoon! Take care!! See you soon.
We should get together very soon. We had colds week before last, were gone two weekends in a row, and then the stomach flu thing… Which, blessedly, was quite mild.
But, it does appear we’re well now. We could get together this week or this weekend if you want. I’m holding out hope for an early baby but it isn’t likely and I’m not due until next Monday.
You do need to have a baby soon. I need to hold your baby because I have to wait a while longer for mine. Also, John just asked yesterday when we got to church when the Culbertsons were going to be here. So, we are ready for another visit.
I do hope you feel better very soon.
I think you’ve just said something profound. I do need to have this baby soon. Although now that the nausea has passed my contractions have returned to the normal teasing type.
I guess my babies just will not come early. At least there is comfort knowing that I’m not going to be pregnant forever.
My babies don’t come early either. They come about on time. I always plan (in my head) for them to be 2 weeks late so that when they come on time I will be pleasantly surprised. It helps me not to get wiggy.
I have just had nearly continual braxton hicks contractions. I guess they start earlier every time.
I know for me the contractions start earlier and earlier with each pregnancy. But, they don’t do anything significant as far as I can tell. I’m sure there is a purpose for them.
I plan all my babies to come the day I hit 37 weeks because I like torturing myself. Actually, I always assume they’ll be late because they always are but I still get a little wiggy. It gets easier to wait each time though. And I seem to be carrying this baby a little lighter so this time around isn’t nearly as miserable.
So sorry to hear you’re ill! I hope you’re feeling better by now. I wasn’t on the computer all weekend so I rushed here to see if there was any news!
Aw, I really miss the boys following me around with their Lego contraptions explaining all their clever functions. And I miss them asking me to help them find pieces. I used to plop down in the middle of the pile with them and was actually very good at finding pieces. Sigh. Though they still do drag them out every once in a while- at 15 and 17 years old. I love it.
Yes, lasted less than 24 hours. Nobody in my house is sick right now so hopefully we’ve beat it.
And just to be more specific, I don’t mind the Lego thing when I’m not rushing to the toilet to be sick. I was writing from the point of view of a mommy who has little boys who don’t read people well. Know what I mean?
I have pictures of Ryan sitting on the floor with the boys, legs stretched out, surrounded by Legos for hours. He’s way better at that kind of stuff than I am.
Aw, you don’t have to explain anything! I hope you didn’t take what i wrote the wrong way- I was just reminded of the boys and their legos by your post. You are an amazingly patient and attentive mom who is allowed to not be in love with every move your children make while you’re sick and tired!! It’s easy for me to romanticize things looking back at this point. Ugh, it’s hard to convey things in comments…but I hope you know what I’m saying! I’ll stop typing now.
Haha!
I’m really not all that easily offended, Becky. Just thought I’d explain cause I’m in agreeance with you. You didn’t write anything in the wrong way.
Love you lots!
