Today, today, today was suppose to be my shopping day, my cleaning day, my day to get my new running shoes that my Mom was buying me for my Birthday. The day I get stuff done that I didn't do yesterday or won't be able to do to tomorrow because Squiggly will be here and as we all know it's all about Squiggly in this house when she is present. We have the boys who are her personal entertainment, they'll do whatever it takes to make her giggle, Mom Jr. is her next care giver who loves to hold her, take her outside, and give her a bottle right before nap time, and of course J loves to have her watch his shows with him.
Well the plans for today were all was pretty much out the door when J woke up this morning and just didn't look quite right. He got up to pee, took his pull it off, and then usually he'd put on his conees (as he calls his underwear) although not this morning he just got back up on my bed and layed there naked. Hmm, something's just not right, he asked for some water and before he drank it he let out this little cough. Uh, oh I don't know if I mentioned this before but I am not one who deals with throw up. I can handle a cold, a fever, a cut (as long as it's not gushing otherwise I'd need help too), or a bump but throw up, nope not for me....
My kids all know when they get sick like that they call Daddy for help in the bathroom or where ever they are at. Sometimes Hubby would even have to take the day off to be with them. Yes, yes, I know the secret is out I'm no Mary Poppins!!
So, back to J, there he lay on my bed naked I get him his underwear and tell him I needed to start some laundry so I was going downstairs but I'd be back. No, he was not going for that he wanted to come down too. I got him situated on his favorite blue recliner, turned on his shows and went about my business. I heard him coughing again so I got him what we call "the throw up bowl" (no, don't worry people who I have made food for before I would never use that bowl!). I was folding towels in the back room, I could see him squirming uncomfortably, he started crying and walking over towards me. I knew what was going to be coming next. I knew I was trapped, he had me cornered, and there was no Daddy here to send him to quickly or to call out to very loudly. I quickly told him "get back to your bowl!". As he turned back I followed him and quickly grabbed that bowl and shoved it underneath his mouth. Woooh! Thank goodness we made it, I knew it wouldn't be bad because he fell asleep so early the evening before he didn't eat dinner and this morning all he had was a little water and apple juice. Mom Jr.'s plugging her ears as she runs upstairs (she's like me). Jr. just continues playing his game not bothered at all and D quickly looks the other way.
I cleaned him up, and knew right then this was not going to be my day. As soon as he fell asleep I sprayed the house with Lysol, continued with my laundry, and started dinner in the crock pot. You know it takes just one sick little one to completely stop your day and to top it off I had cramps from he**!! Usually, I don't like to take any meds but today totally called for it!!!
Once J woke up he must've been dreaming cause he sat up and said "Mama when you gow up you be my Mommy?" I said "yes, I will" "oh, okay Mama cause I gonna be yow big boy when I gow up and I gonna bing my toys wit me too". I said "okay" He was thirsty and hungry so we started off with the usual ice chips and water, 7 up, pedia lite ice pop. Must've been something his tummy didn't agree with or who knows with a 3 year old. By the late afternoon he was asking for all kinds of things and was following me around everywhere I went, no one could change the T.V. for him, no one could get him anything except for me. Did I mention I have cramps too!!! I couldn't figure out what to make for dinner but I knew it had to be something we could all eat which included J, there was no way he was going to fall asleep early or not want to eat dinner with us. The only thing I could think of was chicken soup. Okay, I know it's blazing hot out who wants chicken soup in the heat?!?! Guess what, they're eating it cause that's what I'm making!! Besides I don't just make blah chicken soup, I spice it up!! I just better turn the air on so they won't really complain of being really hot!
Yes, now it's evening, Daddy's home watching T.V. and I jumped on here to blog. I put my ear pods in, put on some rock music and tuned out kiddie world. Oh, wait here's their famous little commercials they throw on, what? Okay, major complaint coming- what is it with the pad commercial that says "have a happy period" who has a happy period?@! I mean honestly, like some girls/women wake up and say "oh looky looky I got my period I'm just sooo happy". I don't know who made their commercial but they had to be high on something because that's the last thing I'm thinking!! I could understand being relieved you got your period, you know it happens you're a little late, me, I completely freak out then it comes down and I'm relieved not happy, jumping up and down but relieved! Whatever, had to throw that in there, stupid commercial....
And still kiddie world isn't completely tuned out as J is poking my arm with his little finger "Mama, Mama".
Is it Friday yet?
Just a Mom with cramps and a clingy little boy who thankfully is obviously feeling better!!
