Yep, I’m gonna whine for a bit. Started the day with Younger Son throwing up because he is so stressed from the situation with another student at school (bully). Got him calmed down and brought the boys to school. I walked them in and went to the main office with Younger Son. I pulled a wee bit of Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment (give my daughter the shot!) simply so the school could have some appreciation for the stress the situation has been causing our family.
Got home, spoke with my boss who graciously offered for me to stay home and catch up on whatever I needed to (laundry, housework, sleep). I did two loads of laundry, walked Rex, got Diet Coke from the Acme, and dropped off ink cartridges at Staples. School still hadn’t called to say Younger Son had gotten sick again so it was nap time. Hubby had lunch.
Then Hubby got sick. He now wonders if it’s a bug, but I think it’s food poisoning. No point in debating it with him. As I like to say to him, “You’re the doc, Doc.”
So we all went to the doctor’s office. Doc saw the doc and we went home. He went to sleep and I emailed the people I was supposed to meet with at church. Fed the boys, dropped Older Son at karate, Younger Son at baseball, grabbed a coffee regular at Dunkin’s, went back to karate, then back to baseball, then home. Showers, desserts, and walk the dog again. Another load of laundry because Older Son needs the same clothes for tomorrow to finish filming in one of his classes. A little homemade MTV with the boys. And now time to collapse in bed. No wine needed.
