My little boy who is at the ripe old age of 2 and a half years old has been sick for hhhhmmmm, well, this week will be four weeks total!!!! Today the Doctor ran tons of blood work on him, and did a few different kinds of cultures. Two in the nose, and the strep for his throat. My poor little monkey!!! He's been to the Doctor three times in the past week. A fever of 102+, non-stop cough that makes him gag, non-stop runny nose, non-stop tearing, yucky eyes, non-stop sneezing, he dosen't want to eat, hardly wants to drink, upset stomach, and the list goes on.......
Why you ask am I writing about this in my journal????? Well, because Mommy has been home with him for days and I am beginning to lose my mind!!! Missing hours from work means dollars missing from paycheck and that totally sucks ass! I mean, trust me, I'd rather him be with me than with anyone else, and when he climbs into my arms and kisses me and hugs me and tells me he loves me, it's all totally and completely worth it!!! As crazy as kids can be, as upside down as they turn your life, I would be soooooooo lost without my monkeys!!!
So, the Doctor tells me today to keep him home from daycare for another week at the very LEAST!!??!! And, not to let him run around and wear himself out......oh, yeah, right, tell that to any two year old and see what kinda reaction you get!!!
So, we've been on the DVD marathon for two days and if I have to watch Brother Bear or Treasure Planet one more time I'm going to pull my fucking hair out!!!! And, today he ate a couple popsicles cuz that's all I could get into him. But, he kept them in his tummy and that made me feel happy!!!
I'm sitting here right now, tired as shit, knowing that sooner or later I'm probably going to be sick as a dog just like him cuz he's been sleeping with me for these past nights and all night long he coughs and sneezes right into my face!!!!!
But, I'm looking over at him right now and DAMN, if he isn't the cutest kid I've ever seen!! So, here's to another week of keeping him home and me not going totally over the edge and losing what bit of sanity I have left!!!
How many days till Vegas????? Shit, I'm not sure it's coming soon enough...........bright lights, big city, fast cars, fast women....I mean men, strip clubs galore, slot machine noises, buffet lines, free drinks, laughing, partying, sex between friends, the Prince tribute show atleast twice, local bars with local bands, cruising the strip, In-N-Out Burgers, and remembering what life is really about. Now that sounds like one helluva good time to me!!!
