Only a few weeks into our new Fall 2007 schedule and I have started to complain. I'm constantly in the car due to three kids in two different schools which are 20 minutes away from eachother and have very different drop-off and pickup times. On top of that we have after school activites, soccer, ballet, and music which I'm driving everyone to and from. So I find myself complaining about the driving, not seeing the kids enough and wishing we could just stay home in our PJ's all day. Well Thursday morning my little Bella awoke with a tummy ache and a sore throat which got worse and worse as the morning progressed till I felt I had to take her in to be checked out. To do this I had to pickup Preston from his little preschool class early and put Todd on notice that he might have to pickup Sydney from kindergarden for me. After a quick strep culture it ended up that Bella only had a red throat and probably just a cold virus that is going around. I said "Great! At least she is not throwing up!" We left the Dr. office, I called Todd and told him I would be able to pick up Miss Sydney and we headed to the elementry school. We were just about to the school when I heard a terrible sound coming from the third row of my beautiful shinny, black leathered, tricked out mini van. Yes you guessed it, Bella throwing up all over herself and her car seat. Bella was such a trooper and didn't complain at all that we had to wait 10 minutes till they could bring Sydney to us and we could go home to clean her up.
Well back to being careful for what you wish for. Needles to say Todd left a few hours after above events for a conference in Utah. Those of you who are close to me know that this had to happen with Todd going out of town. So I have been stuck at home with a very sick little girl and my other two VERY healthy children for two and a half day's now. Bella has hardly moved from the couch and has not really thrown up again. She does not want to eat anything and has no energy. Each time she has moved herself from the couch to her or my bed she rests on the floor every few feet. Just so no one worries, I checked in with her doctor again and he said this virus is going around and kids are acting just like that for about 5 days! So I have about 2 1/2 days to go till freedom! So without Todd around to relieve me we are having ALOT of mommy and me time.
I don't think I will be complaining about our schedule again anytime soon.
