Crazy Times!

Wow. What a week!

I had to keep Ethan home from school on Monday (so I got to call off of work!) to take him to the doctor's. He had this annoying constant cough which was keeping us up at night - ear plugs couldn't even drown out the sound. Nothing was working - Vicks Vapor rub worked the 1st couple of nights, but only partially. Cough suppressants didn't work wonders, neither did honey. I wanted to strangle the kid. (Yeah, I'm not the most affectionate mother). The doctor thinks it's allergy related and he could have a touch of asthma as the cherry on top of everything. He's on his 4th night of Singulair and it has helped drastically. We now can hear the normal house night sounds. Only my thoughts keep me up at night.

Thoughts and worry about work. It's been getting VERY busy in the office. Our one doctor is "no longer with us", and no - he didn't die. All his patients are worked into the other two doctors schedules, making for very busy days. And on top of that, the girl who is training me is out for an unexpected reason. So now we're down a doctor, down a nurse, and down a receptionist. I was anxious last night about working today. It was a busy day - thank goodness for the kindness of the other two nurses! I pulled into my driveway, (around 6:20ish) this evening and thanked God for getting me through the day! And through the week.

Tomorrow will be a full day, and thank goodness I have Fridays off. I will be packing for our weekend camping trip, dropping our dog off at my mom's, going to the grocery store and wine shop (can't beat a glass of wine while sitting around a campfire!), and then to Noel's play. After her play we will take her home, wait for Ethan to come home on the bus, then meet Jason's sister and brother-in-law + kids, where will travel over to Lancaster together to go camping. I hope it doesn't rain much on Saturday, however, I really love it when it rains on the canvas of our pop-up (as long as we don't spring a leak).

I'm looking at a load of the dreaded white laundry that needs to be folded, both bathrooms have not been clean for a few weeks, the kids bedrooms (I think they're still bedrooms - I can't see the beds anymore!) are a disaster, the kitchen smells of my failed attempt at this evening's supper, the living room needs picked up, there's still plenty more laundry to do, although Jason's been busy with working on that this afternoon, and I need to change the hummingbird's sugar water as well. (Wow, what a great run-on sentence!)

I have 3 books I borrowed from the library this week. I can't wait to finish the one while camping this weekend. I'm just going to sit. That's what we do when we camp. We sit. Isn't that lovely?

And to all my mother friends, and to my very own wonderful mother - HAVE A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
