Happy Birthday to my Bugga Boo!!!! Caleb is 7 years old today. I cannot believe he's 7 already. He's getting so big so fast. I feel so badly because I woke up with a really bad stomach ache and soon realized it was stomach flu, so I've not gotten to spend much time with him today.

I did watch him open his presents. He was very happy with them. I love watching him open gifts, his face gets so animated. He just amazes me so much.

Other than that I've not been able to move from the bed except during those times I had to run to the bathroom. And, I've not let him or Michaela come in this room. I really do not want either of them getting this. It's been horrible. I hate being sick.

Michael is a wonderful Daddy, though. He's played with them this afternoon some before he went out to take care of some leaves and stuff in the yard. Then, this afternoon, Caleb's friend came over and Michael took all three kids to Incredible Pizza to celebrate Caleb's birthday. It sounds like they had a lot of fun. I hate that I could not go.

When they got back, Caleb's friend stuck around for another half hour or so playing Wii with Caleb. I know they had fun because when it was time for Chase to go home, he did not want to go. I am so glad they had a good time.

I think my stomach is starting to calm down tonight. I hope this means it's over and I'll be better tomorrow. I just wish the fever would go away. I hate feeling like this. I have not been able to keep my eyes open for more than 20 minutes or so at a time today.

We did not get to cut Caleb's cake today. We'll do that tomorrow. My mom and Michael's parents will come over tomorrow and give Caleb their presents from them tomorrow, too.
