ANYONE......?
...Care to tell me why I have this empty space instead of having my sidebar beside my posts????? Can't seem to figure what I have done wrong!
....AND to Top It All OFF......
We spent 3.5 hours at CHEO last night :o( !!!
Ok so everything seemed ok, Zaynab had the sniffles, nothing right? I taught Scrapbooking to the grade 8 class yesterday afternoon and the kids got to be car kids instead of bus kids for the afternoon. Then we had a plan...Bobba is still away on business so we would goof off...McD's for an early dinner then off to Blockbuster for some movies and munchies and then home. 20 minutes to tidy up, everybody in their jammies and then we settle in for a night of movies.
Simple right???
Well not to be....
...Zaynab started to complain about her left ear around 6:30pm and at 7pm I gave her some Tylenol - Never fails...if my kids are going to get an ear infection it has to have 2 criteria:
1) be at night and
2) on the weekend.
I figured that this was just the start of it so maybe we could last until the morning when I would take her to the clinic....ear infection had other plans!!! :o(.
She slept fitfully for a bit, then the pain I guess got so intense that she couldn't rest and was crying so much there was no calming her. So we all get dressed to head to CHEO...OOPs stop on the way out the door for the little monkey to throw up - YUK!!!
Then off to CHEO we go :o( ......lucky me!!!...an emergency came in just before we got there and then 2 more in the span of time it took for us to get registered. When I finally got inside to do the actual registration, wrist band and parking slip I managed to mention the clinic in the back.
I have a suspecion that not everyone knows about it so they don't always offer it. Anyway poor Zaynab was crying so much that it just added creadence to my comment. So we sit for all of 5 minutes and then get summoned to the clinic. Of course we still have to wait a while but hey, at least it is not out in the main room where God knows what kind of germs are coming in! Also we were the only ones waiting in the waiting room. I figure this is a big ear infection cause my kids magicaly seem to feel better once they haul my butt out in the middle of the night to go to CHEO!!!
Once inside, they do the usual - Nurse..., wait...,Advil..., wait..., Med Student..., wait..., Doctor..., wait..., Confirmation of what I already knew..., wait..., codine..., wait..., prescription..., then we are off!!!
Ok off we go now to the drug store to fill said prescriptions. It is heading for midnight so I am hoping to get there on time...I do...BUT both kids are asleep in the car...CRAP, ok I leave them and run into the pharmacy, put in the prescription, gotta wait at least 15 minutes. So I run out to check on my kids...alll is ok. I run back in to get other cough & cold medicine. Can't stand being caught without it!! Ok run back to the car, check on the kiddies. Abdullah knew that I would do this if they fell asleep. He is almost 10 so I figure I can do it, even though it makes me panic. I believe I made at least 4 trips to my car in the span of 15 minutes, while waiting for the prescription!
So we go home, get the kids in the house and Zaynab off to bed. After all the meds you would think I would be able to get some of the sleep I was looking forward to. I usually don't sleep well when Ra'ed is away - I am not nervous or afraid - just can't seem to get my butt to bed at a decent hour! Well that was not to be either! Zaynab was up every hour AKKKK!! couldn't breath, needed to pee, pain started to increase etc. Medicated her as much as I could safely do so but this was an ear infection that blew up very quickly so I am guessing it was extra painful!
Ok breath Debbie, Ra'ed is due to be home around dinner time - relief is in sight - phone rings 7:30am - missed the flight - CRAAAAAP!!! can't get a flight until tomorrow!!! Thanks a bunch Ra'ed- couldn't you just read the itenary??? I tell him of my wonderful night, he sympathizies but it is out of his hands right now. Hang up, go back to sleep, phone rings again - managed to get another flight with a partner airline will be home earlier than the original ticket... AKKKK the house is a mess and I am exhausted...so I rack him over the coals for now coming home!!! Poor guy he is confused I am sure...a bad case of damned if you do , damned if you don't LOL!!!
Ok Zaynab falls back to sleep, I give Abdullah instructions on how his morning is to proceed while I sleep for about 2 hours. Time to get up and put the house back together - that's what happens when you do for 4 days what husbands think SAHMS do all day!!!LOL Got it all done, Zaynab slept through most of it - poor little monkey, it is a bad infection cause the ear is actually oozing this time!
OK so he is home Thank God - hopefully things will at least feel less stressful but guess what he is doing? yup that's right....sleeping!!! Oh the life of a man!!!!

PLANS GONE AWRY!!!
Ok so the plan was DH was going out of town on a business trip and I was going to scrap like crazy right? WRONG!!!!! I am now a full time working single Mom until the weekend!!! As my wonderful friend Barb would say..
... AKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!
Man I am exhausted, I have no idea how you working Mom's pull this off. As it is I come into the office at 9am and leave again to be home in time for the kids to get off the bus, so some time between 3 and 3:30. When they get home life is all about them until 9pm. So then I get to scrap right? Hell no!!! I am too exhausted to be creative, even in the CM sense of creative!!! So no scrapping, house is a disaster, don't want to cook yada, yada, yada can't wait to get together with some friends to crop!!!
Ok that is off my chest so now it is time to look at the glass half full- the upside is that I have been able to play with my BLOG a bit and to surf on the net in between doing some work!!!!
More on being a temporary single Mom.......
I value my husband, I love my husband and despite how little it sometimes appears to me that he contributes to the running and organization of our family life he is a huge factor for us. He does shoulder much more than I always realize. I always knew subconsciously he did but with him away it is that much more tangible. Also, even with the 2 kids in the house the night time silence is deafening. It was so very quiet the first night that I even went to be sure that the furnace was still working LOL. Oh hurry back to us Ra'ed, I miss you
