I gots the foods poisoning.

Ugghhh.  I'm going to recap the last week of my life for you.  Hang on tight.

Sunday Morning 7:30am-  Mom comes over.  We load up my dogs and take them to the kennel for boarding.
8:00am- Finally leave the place after prying mom away from her dumb dogs. You should have seen her.  It was pathetic. You would think they were leaving for Iraq.
8:45am- arrive at work to facilitate a quick fundraising meeting.  I'm thinking this should take 20 minutes.
10:00am- running through the building dodging parishoners to get back to my car without being asked anymore questions.
10:30- pick mom up from her house
11:00am on the road an hour late :(

We were headed to Nashville TN. Yup.  Me.  Mike.  Sebby. and Mom.  The 4 best friends that anyone could have.

1:00pm- stopped at the Cracker Barrel in Morton IL for lunch with Mike's high school buddy.

3:00pm- back on the road
9:00pm- arrive in Clarksville TN to stay the night.  I had White Castle for the first time in my  life.  Meh.  I don't get it.

Monday Morning-
7:00am- Wake up Sebby.  Pack up his million and one things
8:00am- head to Nashville
9:00am- Arrive at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and think "This place is HUGE!"  Because it was.

So we get checked into our room.  The let us check in early because we had a baby.  Isn't that sweet of them?  I'm going to start using my kid to get more cool things like that.  Maybe board a plane first?  Or pass the line at Texas Roadhouse?

Anywho,  The time stamps from here on out get questionable. So bear with me.

Monday Morning- Try to navigate the many halls and atriums of the hotel with my mom and Sebby while Mike goes to class at his Convention.

Lunch was a bunch of different paninis, cous cous- very delicious.  home made chips that were under a heat lamp but cold for some reason, and water.

Hang out some more

Cocktail reception- I had bottled water, chips and salsa, tiny pieces of ny strip steak on triangle crackers, this weird little thai salad served in a martini glass, and eggrolls that were filled with shredded buffalo chicken.

After the reception I had a calzone with meatsauce over it for dinner at the hotel pizza restaurant.

Bedtime

Tuesday Morning

Ate breakfast. Had a delicious muffin with some weird crumbly stuff, fruit, yogurt and milk

Went to the opening session and saw Lee Greenwood peform.  Awesome.

Went to the trade show.  Ate Custard cake, sweet potato fries, pub burger, tenderloin sandwich, chicken sandwich, smashed potatoes with cheese and sour cream, brownie sundae, Custard Nachos, ketchup (I'm a squeezer and so is Sebby), blueberry and strawberry lemonade, lime ice, bottled water, apple chips, mozzarella sticks, cheese curds, onion rings, cake batter concrete mixer, and a couple more things but I forget what.

After the trade show, went for a walk with Sebby and mom

Tuesday evening- went to the wildhorse saloon.  Had pulled pork, grilled chicken, steak, deep fried pickles, and water.  Watched the Craig Morgan Concert. 

In bed at midnight.  Really exhausted and a slight tummy ache.  Perhaps I ate too much today?

Wednesday morning- skipped breakfast and laid in bed

skipped the closing session and laid in bed

skipped lunch and laid in bed

1:00pm- tried to walk around but it didn't last.  Went back to bed.

6:00pm- Mike made me get out of bed, put on my dress and some makeup and go down to the Gala Dinner Cocktail party.   Drank bottled water.  Slowly.

7:00pm was seated for Gala dinner. 
Waited until they served the salad and asked Mike to walk me back to the room.

Went back to bed

8:30- blew chunks
9:00- blew chunks
10:30- blew chunks
11:15- Mike came back and I blew chunks
Midnight- more of the same
2:00am- trots cha cha cha
3:00am- cha cha'd some more
5:00am-  Baby woke up and I blew chunks and trotted.
7:00am- start packing for the car ride home.  with interuptions every 5 minutes.
9:00am- back in the car for the journey home

we stopped at 1 gas station and 1 rest stop.  I refused to get out of the car both time.  I will not EVER use a public restroom while on the road.  Sometimes I hate myself.

6:00pm- back home.
All day Friday in bed with multiple bathroom breaks

Saturday- in bed most of the morning.  Went to Matt's house for a couple of hours, then back home and watched tv until 4 when I went to Grandma's for her party.  They were serving Hot dogs and chili with all those fixins, chips and dip, and candy out the yin yang.  I had 2 pieces of licorice and water.

Went to Comedy Sportz.  I had the water with a side of comedy.

Sunday morning- Sebby's baptism.  We served pulled pork sandwiches, pasta salad, baked beans, chips and cake.  I ate 2 bites of my sammy, a few chips, a serving of beans and a serving of pasta and a root beer.

Went home after that and laid in bed for a while.

Had sketti for dinner.

I feel much better today.    So after all that stuff I ate last week.  Want to know what the culprit was?   Well... Mom and I both got sick so we thought it could have been anything.  But then on Sunday, we found out that Mike's friend was sick too.   Ladies and Gentlemen.  I got food poisoning from the Cracker Barrel while vacationing at the husband's Convention for a restaurant chain I cannot name.  Just my rotten luck.   It was a crappy week.
