Surreal Day
1:00 pm. Left house for Doctors office, ½ pint is sicky girl. DH in bed sick. Pint is getting over the viral thingy and seems fine. I am not fine but then, well, yah.
2:35 pm. Left Dr office for pharmacy. Arrive pharmacy.
3 pm. Leave pharmacy for counseling appt 20 minute drive away from pharmacy. Appt is for 3 pm.
3:21 Arrive counseling. Apologize to counselor. Catch her up quick with week's goings on and goings off so to speak.
3:30 ½ pint and I leave for McDonalds while Pint in with counselor lady
3:50 Arrive back at counseling, wait for Pint.
4:00 Arrive at karate.
4:37 text DH to see how he is doing in bed.
The bed collapsed under him. He is less than happy. Asks who put the bed up when we moved so he knows who to kill. I tell him it was Calamity and her boyfriend, because it was in fact, them. That explains much, but we couldn't have moved without them. We did however, pay them the going rate of $150 per day, so......
I tell him I am sorry about the bed...and where I THINK the can of odd screws can be located.
5-6:30 working. Baby shows up to pick up her flattening iron and says “Today is ......'s birthday, can I have some money?” I give her a twenty. Everyone laughs, she has done that twice in the same week, not someone's birthday, but showing up at karate and sticking hand out. She is the baby, and continuously gets away with it and will continue to do so. Karate people keep trying to get me to give them money as well, I tell them they are not nearly as cute as Baby, and I don't love them the way I love her. It is an ongoing joke.
6:30 Try on the flower girl dresses on ½ Pint. She is running around looking like a fairy princess. She is to be flower girl at Kung Fu and Mrs. Kung Fu's (karate studio owner and fiance) wedding in late March.
SIL Cop brings ¾ Pint to drop her off. Pint runs off practice floor and pukes her entire McDonalds double cheeseburger happy meal all over the area between the practice floor and the front counter. I am not in my element..and sort of stand there looking confused. LOL. Another parent grabs the garbage can. I thank her.
Take Pint back to the bathroom to finish puking. Grab multipurpose cleaner and some paper towels and a garbage bag to clean it up.
SIL Cop looks like he wants to talk. THAT isn't happening. Sorry. Get everything cleaned up, take care of Pint.
Nursey texts me. Can I talk??? I tell her what is going on. She wants to talk. I tell her I will call her from the car, I am leaving.
Get girls in coats. Grab gameboys, nintendo DS's...iPods, cell phones, purse, puked on clothing, everyone's drinks and make it out the door,c cautioning girls to not slip on the ice.
Sit in car waiting for all three girls to get hooked up.
Call DH to see how collapsed bed is coming.
Drive to BP, I am out of gas and need to get enough to get home.
Call Nursey. Talk on the way home.
Get home. Again caution girls not to slip on ice.
Get in house. Tell Pint to get in shower to wash puke out of her hair. Tell the other two to get in jammies and get in bed.
Say hello to DH who has just finished putting bed back together.
Pint pukes all over dining room.
Dogs start cleaning it up for me.
Get mess cleaned up, get Pint into shower, get other two into bed. Give Tylenol to everyone.
Start coughing, cough so hard I think I am going to die.
DH is hungry. I am walking around the house, coughing non stop, deep wracking coughs. Everyone is calling for me to come to them.
It is too surreal. I feel like I am the star in a Fellini film.
Get everyone in bed. Put frozen Pizza in oven for DH. Let dog out. My head is pounding. Give Pint a Walmart bag in case she pukes again.
She does. I give her another bag. ¾ Pint falls asleep. ½ Pint wants the bathroom light on. I turn it on.
Check Pizza. Not done yet.
Pint pukes again. I don't have any more walmart bags. Find a bucket.
My head hurts from coughing. Take Flonase and Zyrtec to stop the snot train.
Text Niece In Law and tell her she can still bring her out of town friend over on Sunday, but I would advise against it.....
9:36....Pint just puked again.
Good night all. I think I am tired.

LOL. its 10:59. She has puked three times since I posted this blog. I am thinking it's gonna be a looonnnngggg night. What is it the Indian's said? or maybe the Chinese. To stay up all night is to gain a day in your life. Okay, the glass is half full. I'll take a drink from that glass.
