Classy reunions and cherry blast icee throw up.

I had the PLEASURE of going with my wife to her, shmurdeshmur class reunion.   I won't even go to my own class reunion, let alone anyone else's.  There was a bet and bribery and she won.  BLASTED WOMAN
Their mascot was an Idaho spud.  as in potato spud.   
They are from a small farming town in Idaho.
You see where my trepidatious (is that even a word) attitude to participate might have come from, right ?

Not a lot of people showed up.   The executive committee had been changed 1/2 way through the planning stages and the whole event was moved from Idaho Falls to Salt Lake City at the last minute.    Still....I don't know if the turn out would have been better otherwise.

J received the awards for having the youngest children and being the most famous.


I suppose it helped to have lower expectations about the whole event, it's turn out and the people attending because I was impressed at how nice it turned out and how accepting and kind everyone was.   AND there was only one guy with a mullet.  

At our table we sat with the Dean of a college, a gay flight attendant, a Michael Moore look alike. (although thinner and much better looking) who tests pharmaceutical drugs in NJ, and a guy who works in the oil industry and seemed a little high the whole night. :)
The guy with the mullet has been riding motocross for 35 years and his wife wrote a really awful children's book about it. 
There was a woman who had just survived colon cancer.  Another has 8 kids and lost 65 lbs after the sudden death of her husband last year.  One had 8 kids and still lived in the same small town and another was a body builder who tried to befriend our blonde bombshell friend a while ago on facebook for no other reason than the blonde and bombshell parts.  
Any ways.   All in all the conversations were enlightening and friendly. 


Syd had a terrible headache Friday morning and started a fever shortly after.   A neighbor confirmed that her kids had the same symptoms days prior and that it seemed to be a 24 hr thing. 
note : kids with night terrors experience a WHOLE new level of terror that seems to last all night sometimes when sick. 
When Syd doesn't feel well she performs a drama filled sick role and plays the part to a T.   Including randomly screaming out in agony, crying for long periods of time, reminding me that she's sick over and over for sometimes hours and will hobble around the house with droopy eyes, wearing the face of death.

Saturday came and we went to the reunion at the park.   Guess who had kids there ?  yip.  just us.  Wait, towards the end a lady brought her grand baby :) 
Syd seemed to be on the mend and all was well and the 24hr prediction seemed to be holding true.
Last night though....terror after terror.   This morning....complaining of a bad belly and still hot.   We fed her some toast and Tylenol and just after asking for more she started whimpering that she was going to throw up.    I sprinted over and threw open my bathroom door, followed her to the toilet and pulled back her hair.
From the looks of it, she lost the toast her tylenol and the icee from yesterday afternoon.  
Poor thing.

And now a prayer.  Once again lord, please bless that this disease striken child feels better soon and that the virus that seems to be ravishing her body will not plague the rest of the household.  
Amen.

It's as if my prayer was answered immediately.   After proof reading this post, Syd is now in great spirits and playing the piano behind me.   
Thank you !
