My fun weekend

So this was a fun weekend!

It actually started Thursday night. Riley started throwing up in the pre –dawn hours. He finally settled down and fell asleep about 4:45 am. Even though I was tired, I was wide awake. So I went on to work only to have Scott call me around 9:00 and say Riley had started the other end! So I left work a half a day.
Saturday everyone was fine to start. Brian’s crew stopped by, and Ethan wanted to stay. Liv went home with them. We went out to eat, and headed to Lowe’s to check out the reduced tables for stuff for the house. We ended up w/ the light fixtures for the kid’s bathrooms, and the exterior garage lights!
That night all you know what broke loose! Tanner started coughing & barking like a dog because his asthma was so bad. Riley still didn’t feel well, and started coughing also. Scott started to get sick and retreated downstairs to the couch. In the middle of all this fun, Ethan was sleep walking! Poor thing. At least that gave me a chuckle in the middle of my puked on, pooped on, coughed in my face, sleep deprived state. In the morning Scott started with the vomiting, and passed out from it. I called Brian and told him what was going on and he better come get Ethan. After they left I took the boys to Urgent Care and left Scott to fend for himself because he refused to come. WHATEVER.
Of course, I had to see an old friend at urgent care. It wasn’t too bad though because since her daughter was also sick she wasn’t looking so pretty either.
Riley’s got a respitory infection, -which is doctor speak for a chest cold. Tanner has bronchitis, which at this point I can feel myself getting also. NICE.
I dropped them off, ran to get the antibiotics, and came home to start disinfecting and doing laundry. Good times people, good times.
That night grandma and grandpa brought Alivia home only to tell me she probably has an uti. OF COURSE SHE DOES.
Monday was my scheduled day off this week – good thing. So I put the boys on the bus since they were much better after a couple doses of medication, and me and Liv headed to Children’s hospital – our home away from home- to see about the presumed uti.
She was feeling pretty perky on our way back so we stopped by the thrift store – yeah!
We could only stay a minute though before she got tired.
Back home Scott’s bug had simmered down a bit, but headed south. Our water bill will probably be huge next month thanks to all the toilet flushing!
Can I just say that men KILL me? They are such wimps when they’re sick! I mean I KNOW you’re sick, but for the love of Pete you aren’t dying. This too shall pass.
Give me a break. ~this is me rolling my eyes~.
I spent the rest of the afternoon disinfecting everything with bleach, pine-sol, and Lysol. The hospital called to say Liv’s meds were called in so I ran back out to pick them up. It wasn’t until I got out of my car that I realized I had changed to sweat pants when I came home earlier. I had not, however, changed my shirt. So I was wearing sweats and a nice shirt. PLUS I reeked of pine and bleach. FABULOUS. I’m sure my old high school boyfriend will be in the store.
I came home and the sterile smell just about knocked me down. The boys came home, and Riley has a slight fever. I fixed supper, we ate, including Scott for the first time, and then I sat on the couch and snuggled with Riley. My poor little peanut.
I put everybody to bed, and informed Scott that come h-e-l-l or high water I was going to work today! I must get out of here!
So here I am. I can’t breathe b/c my chest is so congested, but at least I’m not throwing up. Bonus!!!
