in sickness and in health, always use lysol

My hands are so dry and cracked from using hand sanitizer and washing them...seriously, they're ugly...i think if i went to get a manicure, the people would probably say awful things about me in Vietnamese (or whatever language it is). Thank God for Curel hand lotion.
Jake has been suffering from this stomach thing....i don't know if it's a bug...he came home last night complaining of "indegestion" and a couple of nights before that (Valentine's Day,) he was running a slight fever and had body aches. I thought the worst of it was behind us until he started throwing up last night. *Special note: for those who don't know me, being around ANYONE who gets sick sends me into a panic state.* welcome to my life- i'm terrified of throwing up....or at least that's what it is on the surface. so perhaps this turns out to be pretty monumental in helping me get past this fear of being sick. i'm such a good wife, the minute my husband is sick, i'm considering how fast i can get away. geez. (i can't wait 'til we have kids). anyway, i eventally calmed myself down and finally convinced myself that i wasn't feeling sick too, and things were okay. he came out of the bathroom as if nothing remotely bad or repulsive had just happened and continued to watch TV. *me= amazed* the world didn't end. (i know this deep down inside but for whatever reason, it elicits such strong feelings). anyway, i decided to lay back on our bed and read while he watched "the departed," (a movie i probably couldn't handle on a normal stomach....)
today, he hasn't felt much better...i feel so bad for him because there's really nothing i can do to make him feel better. everything he eats causes his stomach to hurt, but he doesn't feel sick. he's convinced that it was something he ate earlier (i hope it wasn't the Valentine's meal i cooked for him...) i want to be convinced of that too. in fact, that's what i keep telling myself. i don't want to think it's some sort of bug because that could mean i'm next.
dun-dun-DUNNN....
anyway, enough of my antics....i hate feeling helpless. maybe watching a couple of good movies will take both of our minds off of things. so that's what we're going to do...
