I survived
I went to bed early last night feeling like I simply wanted to die. The Nyquil kicked in and I slept in a blissful drug induced manner. I actually woke up this morning feeling slightly better. My nose and head are still giving me trouble, but I don't feel the need to curl up in the fetal position and cry for my mommy. Yea for progress.
I am a bit concerned about Emily. She has been fighting this for about a week and while she has shown signs of improvement, her cough is still lingering. I might take her in just to rule out any complications. Better safe than sorry. I need to call and find out if the office is open today. That will be my deciding factor. If only urgent care is open, we will just wait for tomorrow. Too often with urgent care I get people that want to focus on all the reasons we aren't there (her heart "murmur" that isn't there any longer, or her Down syndrome) because you know, Down syndrome is such a sickening thing. (Please note the sarcasm, my smiley faces are not working).
We got notice yesterday that starting tomorrow morning we will be without water AGAIN for the entire day. I have a house full of sick people and there will be no water to wash our hands. Yea. I guess I should be thankful that at least this time we had some warning. The last FOUR times, the water has just been cut when a pipe burst up the road. We have had the opportunity to store some water for the day without. Thank goodness for small favors. I have a great excuse to just sit and relax tomorrow. Oh sorry, no water to wash the dishes or the clothes. Darn.
The douchebag, aka Whitney's boyfriend, finally called to apologize for his behavior on Halloween. He actually didn't call, but sent me a text. He is still too chicken to actually speak to me. I raked him over the coals and have informed them both that if anything like this ever happens again; it is beyond over. Matt is still beyond angry and refuses to speak to him if and when he makes an appearance. I can't say I blame him, but I am playing good cop in this scenario.
I am off to take Josh and Alyssa to meet up with their school. They are taking a day trip to Knotts Berry Farm. Alyssa has never been, so she is excited. Luckily, this bug has not bitten her quite as hard as the rest of us, so she is up for going.
April and Sarah, martinis will be served at the usual hangout in a few hours. Proper notice will be sent, but get ready for some drinks.

that sux about the water gone while everyone is sick. I think I have endured somehing like this once or twice. when it rains it pours. Hopefully it'll let up soon.
The loon comments here?..........anyways I got distracted, it will linger and linger and linger....I know because it is still lingering here. You guys hang in there and dont miss me too much while I am away. ....and about this hang out? Where is it?
When you are out and about today stop and buy 1 gallon of water. Find a couple inch piece of a small dowel (sp?). Empty the gallon of water into something. Use a knife or something to put a small hole in the plastic water jug near the bottom of the front. Make sure the dowel fits in tightly. Put the water back in. Hand washing station for outside on the picnic table. Just pull the dowel out to get your hands wet - put the dowel back in. Soap up real good then pull the dowel out to rinse.
Can you guess how many years I was a girl scout?
I probably wont be around too much today - am watching baby James while my sister works. But I will probably check in once or twice.
@der_lila_Stern@xanga - LOL, you are so smart. I am going to take advantage of the fact I feel slightly better and clean up before it hits me again.
@kidzandK9z@xanga - Emily has had it linger now for about a week. You guys have a great time. I will miss you bunches though.
Aw emily is still not better! aww sweet baby hope she gets better soon! and good about time her b.f said sorry! only took a weeks lol
@thoughmomma@xanga - LOL, that was exactly what I told him.
Ugh, no water is bad. And I hope you girls have a fun night with your martinis, no driving though!
@Paul_Partisan@xanga - No driving. We drink them safely in the comfort of our homes.
