There are very few things...

...in the world that I absolutely HATE. I am devoting this post to one of them...

THE STOMACH FLU

I HATE the stomach flu. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! I hate everything about it!

I HATE how you catch it from someone before the person you caught it from even knows that they have it.

I HATE how it rears its ugly head at the most inconvenient times of life (Christmas, Thanksgiving, summer vacation, family reunions, a few days before you're supposed to run in the Las Vegas Ragnar)

I HATE how its so unpredictable. Who will get it? Will we all get it? Well I got it last time so I really shouldn't get it again. When will we get it? Can't we all just get it at the same time so we don't drag it out for 2 weeks? Why did she get it but he didn't? When can I feel comfortable that its passed? Ugh! HATE IT!

I HATE how the kids always get it in the middle of the night. Brady threw up on Saturday morning at about 3:30. Natalie puked this morning at 1:00.

I HATE how little little kids, like 3 and under, don't really give you any warning when they're about to vomit. They just vomit. I can't even count how many times I've been hurled on by my kids, and sometimes other peoples kids. YUCK!

I HATE cleaning it up! I don't want to give you t.m.i. but last night I almost cut Natalie's jammy shirt off her. It was literally soaked in barf. Poor baby started to yack in her sleep and it got EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Down her back, in her hair, down the front of her, in her pants, on her panties. I mean everywhere. Along with this I HATE that I don't have a utility sink in this house. Scrubbing and disinfecting a bath tub is way harder then scrubbing and disinfecting a utility sink when its 1 a.m. Not to mention having to carry the dripping wet vomit sheets from that bathtub that said sheets were rinsed in, to the laundry room.

I HATE laying in bed or on the couch with the sick child and jumping 20 feet in the air everytime they move because I'm scared they're gonna hurl.

Oh, I could go on but I think I'll stop there!

But if you could all send some prayers my way that I don't get it this weekend when I'm running in Las Vegas and TJ doesn't get it while he's home with the kids... THAT would be super!!!!!

And the winner is...

Its That Time Again!

"what time?" Time to cute my hair. I've been thinking about it for months now (Val can verify that) and its time to take the plunge! It time for my long hair to be HACKED off!

I need your help though to know what style. Please view the images below and vote on what you think I should do!

NOTE: voting should be based on style only. Not color!

OPTION #1

This is Jennifer Aniston's hair from season 7 of Friends. When she first cut it it was shorter then this...about to her chin, which is what I would do. It can be sleek or it can be sassy.

OPTION #2

Aaaaaaaah ,yes! The Posh Spice do. Love this but a) could I pull it off??? b) is it too trendy and popular??? and c) do I want to really go this short???

The upside is that it is super sassy but really girls...will I look like every other boring mom in Utah county???

OPTION #3

Jessica Alba...flirty, fun, sassy. But can see this becoming too "mom" if I'm not careful! I like the layers and I think I could do a flippy thing too with it.

So please please please vote for your favorite!!!! You can even make suggestions if you don't like any of these! Just HELP ME decide what to do!
