This holiday weekend was originally an no plans, just chill, and get some things done around the house weekend. Well on Tuesday Eddie got sick and threw up all day, then on Thursday Alan took his turn and on Friday it was my turn. Needless to say those of you who know my medical history, my body doesn't react to this well so by 9:30pm Friday night we realized I lost 4 lbs in 2 days and the nurse sent us to the ER. The ER on a holiday weekend is very interesting. We had to wait forever to be seen by the doctor who determined I needed IV fluids to rehydrate as well as some wonderful anti-nausea drugs. Labwork also showed a bladder infection so we got some good antibiotics to boot. The boys were way over tired so after they got me in the back Daniel took them home and waited for me to call for a ride. When the first bag of fluids was finished I buzzed the nurse to come change the bag. Well I didn't hear back for awhile, but did hear some severe screaming and swearing followed by what sounded like a rampage of things flying against the wall. I waited for quite awhile to get the second bag hooked up and the nurse apologized for my wait as the screaming was by some guy that got bad drugs on the street and things got a bit out of control. It was 3:30am by the time we pulled into the driveway. I'm glad that Daniel had a 4 day weekend to be able to take care of boys and especially to take care of me!!! Alan's best buddy from Alabama was in town for the holiday weekend visiting her Nana and Papa so Daniel took the boys to meet them at the beach for a few hours on Saturday. Things today are finally back to normal, or as normal as they get around here. Just 9 more weeks of pregnancy discomfort IF I deliver at the same stage of the game as I did with the boys. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well and the worst is behind us!!!
Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride. He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway!
