Sorry, this is probably going to be long . . .


So tonight was my sister's birthday. After work the whole family was going out to dinner. My husband got off work early so he could go to my grandma's old house (she moved already, but doesn't have to have her stuff out of the old place until Sunday) and pick up a TV she is giving us. The TV is really old and heavy, so I called my mom to ask if her boyfriend could meet my husband there to help him. She said that he was sleeping because he's been so sick all night and during the day, v*. This is about 4:30 - my husband dropped my daughter off at her house at 7:30 this morning so she has been there ALL DAY in the v* filled house and my mom never told me (and yes, my mom does know about my emet). She assurred me, though, that he was sick because he ate an entire bag of peanuts last night and it wasn't a sv or anything. So, then we all go out to dinner. We had to meet at my mom's, so there I was in the "sick" house.


We went to the restaurant and while we were waiting for our food, my mom wanted to hold my daughter. While she was holding her, my mom's boyfriend grabbed my daughter's hand. Then, Kayla got fussy, so she gave her back to me and Kayla proceeded to stick her hand - the one that the boyfriend touched - in my mouth!! I don't know how good he is about washing his hands! Who knows what was on there!


So nowI am worried about both my daughter and I getting it. On topofit all, she has to go back there tomorrow (my mombabysits on Thursdays and Fridays) because neither my husband or I have any vacation time left for the year. So, if by chance she escaped catching it today, she'll be exposed again on Friday. I just can't take this! I want to quit work right now so I can make sure my daughter is taken care of the way I want her to be. I know my mom doesn't wash her hands like I would like her to. But if I push it, she thinks it's just my emet talking.


I'm so scared! I don't want either one of us to get this. Do you think it really could be from the peanuts? Have you ever heard anyone getting sick off eating too many peanuts? He ate a little bit of dinner tonight and I think he kept it down okay. At least he did for an hour or so after we ate while we were still together talking.


Oh, and to top it all off, Sunday is my "anniversary." You all know how much we dread our anniversaries! I hate this time of year. I just want to sit here and cry. We are supposed to go help my husband's mom move on Saturday, but now I'm afraid one or both of us will be sick and we'll be an hour away from home.


Please help! I can't stop freaking out!
