August has almost gone..And maybe I will start shopping for Christmas...What better time to start than now :) We are always last minute shoppers but it is fun!
So let's see..what has been going on around the House of Hayes?
Monday August 17 2009-My day I thought was going to go good because why wouldn't it?School has been going on for almost 2 weeks..The house is nice and quiet and then there is always the quiet after the storm then the storm starts up again...And Monday was the start of a awful week.
I picked up ESH from school and had to go to the bank to cash a check from Grandmother for ESH's birthday.I was going to take the easy route and deposit it through the ATM at the bank and then take the cash out too.I guess the ATM machine got hungry and ate the $100.00!! So I had to get out and go in the bank.I had not washed my hair and wasn't going to until before taking ESH to cheer later that day.So off we go.I go inside she tells me that she can't do anything and she is sorry that it will be available again in 48 hours.Glad this happened on Monday and we had a few days before our trip.So I thanked her and went on my way.Off to the parking lot and I step in gum!! OMG!! I was LIVID...What kind of people toss their old nasty gum on the ground?Inconsiderate ones that's who..or parents who give their kids gum and don't teach them how to properly dispose of it.We don't let ESH have gum for this reason.We chew it but we also place it in the rubbish bin or SWALLOW it if there is no where for us to get rid of it.It was strung all over my leg/inside of my vehicle and shoes...I was cussing like my sailor husband by then.And whoever invented it should be shot!!
So I got it off as good as I could and homeward bound we went.
I got out the mats and the Dawn *it takes everything off* and scrubby.I had 2 hours to get everything done before heading off to cheer.So I decided to clean the inside of the Xterra out and take it to be vacuumed out while ESH was doing her cheer thang.
We got out there and she was sparkling when we were done..Mats clean,gum gone and Armor All'd up :)
I get ESH dressed for cheer and dropped off.I hit up the vacuums and lo and behold I guess the same kid/adult with the gum hit the car wash too.I managed to step in more gum with the opposite foot !! More cussing !!! Now the bottom of my flip flops have blue gum on one and white gum on the other...All I needed was red! And I would have patriotic flip flops!!
I went to pick ESH up and they said she wasn't paying attention and just laying around..Not like her at all...So I got on to her and we headed home.
Tuesday August 18 2009-We get up for school and off we go.Praying for a better day!! 9:10 I get a call from the school nurse.I am working on finishing ESH's Birthday outfit and didn't get the phone in time.I call back and ESH was in the clinic with a 99.6 fever.She complained about aches,pains and she said she was just laying on her desk.She wasn't the chatty Cathy they have all come to know and love.So I call to get an appt with her dr.No such luck.I call back and ask where I can take her..and NO I am not taking her to the local walk in.I have issues with that man and his practices.I pick ESH up from school.She isn't her happy self.I talk to her teacher and she said that ESH wasn't herself etc.So I ask for suggestions of where to take her.She said Ameila Island.So that is where we go.
She is seen and diagnosis is swollen tonsils//glands/red inner ear and weird strep culture.Amoxil was prescribed and off we went...
Then the COUGH started *Dran came up sometime on Tuesday night for our trip that almost wasn't*
Wednesday August 19 2009-We wake up for school and Dran says she has coughed all night long.I call and make another appt for her.I got lucky and got in to see Dr Curry.She had yet another fever too.BLAH!!
Off to see Dr Curry.He said that her ears were perfect/tonsils were ok and glands just a little swollen.She had a fever still and the cough that wouldn't stop.So we got Dimatapp and were on our way again.She had to be fever free with no medicines to help control it.Well I knew she wouldn't go to school on Thursday either.By the time we got home she was ready for a nap and didn't protest it.Not like her at all.I put blankets on her and her temp hit 103.6 and she started sweating and when she woke up it was gone !! THANK GOD! I don't like seeing her sick but you never know when she is.The only way you know is if you take her temp.
More meds and she was good as new....
Thursday August 20 2009-Today ESH didn't go to school because it hadn't been 24 hours fever free..so another day home with Dran and me..She was fine and helped us pack up the suitcases...!! And praying that she was all better so we could leave out Friday for our trip....
TO BE CONTINUED...PAPA JOHNS JUST DELIVERED OUR FOOD :)
*Somewhere in there I managed to cut the side of my finger almost off! I was making bows and flip flops and well lets just say the gerber knife closed on my thumb.It wasn't a pretty site*
