The Bug and The Drama Queen

Lots O' Stuff....

This week has been CRAZY!

First off...you know drama mama has been ill. Well, I had to take her BACK in to the ped. on fri because she was *still* running a temp of 103.8 and had things coming out both ends (sorry for the mental)...

He said...it was obvious she was not digesting any of the amoxocillian since she was still running a temp, (for 4 days now) and still throwing up. So he checked her over....said she had strep throat now ( in addition to the rectal)...and a stomach virus all rolled into one little "nasty ball of sickness".

So in short...he switched up her meds to omnicef..a stronger antibiotic that is gentler on the stomach....but she got sick again on Sunday Morning (as I was heading out the door with Bug to church...she was staying home with daddy)...fun fun...

but this morning seems to be a lot more perkier. yay! :)

***side note- as I was going to publish this...Bug's school called...he is doubled over in pain and crying....so I'm off to get his poor little butt. *sighs*


****BAD MOM AND TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT AWARD HERE****

It was such a crazy week that when I called the ped on fri, i thought it had only been 2 days that she had been running the fever and been sick. As I was talking to the advice nurse to find out if I should bring her in, she asks me how long it has been going on. I tell her since tues or wed. She says she needs to know, so I check her medicine bottle since it was filled the day I brought her in the first time. I check it and it said 6/2/08..which was MONDAY....so she had been running this temp for 4 days (they recommend you bring them in if they run a temp longer than 48 hrs)....my days had blurred together...I didn't know which end was up. I felt terrible. But honestly....I was running on about 2 hrs sleep a night at that point since drama mama was up throwing up or needing a diaper change and BATH every 2 hours or less. So I felt like a complete sh*t when I told her the date and she says "oh my....since she was seen monday and its friday , it's been over 48 hrs....I would highly recommend you bring her in"

*prays the floor would open up and swallow her*

Well, THAT'S why I called....I was pretty much going to bring her in anyway.....but thanks for the added bonus of feeling like crap on top of the exhaustion.

nice.

Anyway....by sat morning *embarrasing moment here* I was/had reverted back to being 5.

I was so exhausted that my body just wouldn't cooperate...it wouldn't listen to my mind (which was pretty much in *i need to sleep mode* ) and move.....well.....if you are a mom... THAT DOESN'T MATTER.

kids still need things.

Brad was out with Cody laying the last of the grass in the back, and kayla needed to go potty (for like the 12th time already with 11 false alarms)..bug wanted cereal and chocolate milk...

mommy wanted

S l e e p.

I threw a tantrum.

an honest to goodness...all out...throw yourself down...kick....bury my head in my arms and wail....kind.

The kids looked on in horror.

I look up....tears smudged down my face....

and bug is sitting next to me patting my back.

"you o.k mom" he asked me

TOTALLY embarrassed and ashamed, I look at him...

"yes bug...mommy is just sooo tired"

I move my tantrum (seriously!) into my bedroom so I can have my pity party in peace.

FINALLY brad comes in and I get some sleep (o.k I'll admit this was AFTER i had stomped outside 3-4 times..hands on hips..only to stand there and GLARE daggers at him)....it is ONLY then (after the nap) I realize how foolish I acted.

*blushes*...why doesn't that floor open up? Any time now please!

On to good news...

we got our grass in!!
