Whips, Cattle Prods & Tiaras (Four-Is-More Challenge) (Page 91)

Why do kids have to get sick in the middle of the night?  I'm trying to get to sleep and my middle guy who has a good case of asthma starts to have an attack.  Okay, not his fault but still, ugh!  He's coughing like crazy so I break out the inhalers.  No good.  Bring him down stairs to prop him up while he lays down.  I lay down on the couch and close my eyes for a minute.... start to drift off and he starts coughing more.  Then, yup, he pukes all over the place because he's coughing so much! All over the love seat.  All over the carpet.  All over the dining room.  All over the kitchen.  After he's done, he looks up and says to me, "sorry mom."  Awwwww, poor guy.  (He's 5 by the way)  I of course say that he has nothing to be sorry about and take him to get cleaned up.  Then I get to start cleaning up the house.  All while hubby is sleeping.  What is that about?????  So, tomorrow I get to steam clean the rug.  Yippee!  At least the love seat is leather and that cleans up so easy. Now the little guy is watching the USC/Oregon St game.  Should get him back to bed but will wait just a bit longer.

Oh noooooo!  Poor guy!!  I think you should go wake up hubby and tell him he's on duty.  In fact, tell him that he should be on duty for all things that go bump in the night, including sick children .

Man. No rest for the weary around this place. Fall a little bit behind and there's Dee waving a cattle prod around like we should be afraid of her or something. Maybe I can distract her until I make all my goals.

Hey Dee! Look! Shiny red shoes! And fishnets!

Yeah. But I'm not the one who gets distracted by fishnets and shiny red shoes. That would be Cat and Mila. Me, on the other hand.... well, how about a nice assortment of shiny new cattle prods?

Mmmmmm... look at that... HAWT... shiny...

I think so too.  Something about him having to be at work at 4:45 tomorrow morning.  He seems to think that entitles him to sleep.  Men, such babies!   I'll get very little sleep tonight, none tomorrow during the day and still be able to function somewhat normally.  Of course I'll drink at least a pot of coffee and probably a few lattes with a double shot of expresso from Starbucks (skim milk of course!).  I guess we'll be headed to the doc tomorrow.  Fun times! 

DOH!  I feel your pain on the doctor trip... trips in my case.  And yeah, gimme a break, I get up at the crack of stupid on a regular basis, often having had only 3-4 hours of sleep and I still function.  I'm with ya!

I hear you on dr. trips.  We've had it too good with this guy lately.  Poor kid has had it tough.  In the span of four days a few years ago, he had hernia surgery, was hit by a car and had the stomach flu.  That pretty much sums up his chaotic life.  Has a hearing loss, ran into a chain-link fence (he needed glasses, at three), and has been in and out of the doc for his crappy asthma.  Some kids have all the luck! 

joemac3 - 2008-09-26 6:19 AM Good morning to all I hope that everyone has a wonderful friday!!!!!!!!

Grrr.  Nothing good about this morning.  Okay, maybe that is a little harsh.  What a long night!  I think I got about 3 hours of sleep.  Total.  Not consecutive.  Oh well, got a doc appt for the little dude.  Not sure if I'll make my training session now.   Oh well, health always comes first!  Off to chug a keg of coffee!
