My new toy

OK so my last post wasn't long ago. I didn't want to leave my blog with such a sour note. I wanted to tell you about my new toy. Not everything this week has been all bad. Last Thursday Matt took the day off work to spend with me. It was very nice. We went to lunch together and he took me shopping for my valentines gift. Didn't buy anything though, just looking. That night we went online and looked around some more and read some reviews. Finally he ordered it for me. I know you guys are probably thinking I should just tell you already. I will. I'm getting there. So Matt leaves Friday morning early to go to Yuma, AZ and I am left to wait patiently for my gift to arrive. I get a notice via email saying that my shipment has been shipped and that it should arrive Friday sometime before 3. So I stay home waiting. Afraid to go anywhere because I might miss the delivery that I have to sign for. I don't go to curves and I even skip going grocery shopping. Its a good thing to because it would have come when I was at the grocery store. I have been playing with it ever since. Matter of fact I am using it right now to write this blog. Ok I will tell you. My darling husband bought me the new BlackBerry Storm and I love it. So there you have it. Something good did happen this week. Thank you Matt for my new toy.

The worst week

I think this has been by far the worst week I have had in a long time. Matt being gone is one thing, but then both of my boys getting sick was the icing on the cake. Why do they say that? The icing on the cake is great. At least the icing on my cakes. Maybe I'm using it wrong. Anyhow, this week has really stunk. It all started Saturday with Matt leaving for a week of work in Yuma, AZ. So, I am missing him terribly right. Then Sean gets sick and starts running a fever of 102.3-103.4. So all day Saturday Sean just laid around not wanting to do anything. Not even play Wii. Poor guy.=( Then to top that off Sunday night his fever was replaced with vomiting. Which he continued to do through Tuesday. So Sean starts feeling better and I am very happy about that. Tuesday afternoon I go to pick up Joshua from school. I am talking to his teacher. I had asked her to keep an eye on him since Sean had been sick. He was fine all day she said. We get home and Sean and Joshua played and ran around outside the rest of the afternoon. Both of them seemed to be fine. That night (Tues.) Joshua woke me up coughing like you would not believe. He was having a hard time even getting enough breath. It really scared me. It scared him to because he said "I'm going to die". Really he said that. It was so sad. I think he really thought he was going to die. We got some water and that helped some. His throat was really hurting him. I put the humidifier in his room and he settled back down. I think our dog Lily was worried about him too because she did something that night that she had never done. She slept with him in his room. He woke up several times that night coughing. I finally ended up moving him into bed with me. That was a very long and exhausting night. The next morning (Wed.) I called and made a doctors appointment. It turns out he has a really bad case of the flu and the croup. No school for him the rest of the week and no going anywhere. We made a quick run to the grocery store after the appointment and then back home. I had already missed my Sign language class on Monday night. Now I have to cancel my ladies bible class for this week. Which I am teaching and I had to cancel FPU(financial peace university) for Thursday night. Matt will be back on Saturday and by then I will probably be sick so the next week will probably stink too. But I will still have to function and take care of the boys and the house and Matt and Lily and the Cats. That's what mom's do right. I know this blog probably sound like a big complaint and maybe it is. I think I just needed to vent cause right now I'm just feeling, well...I can't put into words how I am feeling. There are just to many. I hate it when my little ones are sick. I hate it even more when they are both sick back to back and Matt is not here to share in it with me.=( I guess that is all for now.
