Its been a crazy weekend

[luvmyboys2]

Seriously, it has.  I had planned for a few weeks to go visit my family this weekend on Long Island.  I was going to meet my oldest 1/2 sister for the first time. Unfortunately, she had to cancel. No biggie... I still wanted to see my parents & some friends.  So, I pick my DS up from school on Friday & leave straight from there, hoping to not hit traffic.  No such luck, instead of the 2 - 2 1/2 hours it normally takes me, it took me 4 hours!!! AND I had the 3 kids, DH was leaving from his school & meeting us there... anyway, we get there. That night, my oldest DS starts coughing & sniffling.  He was at the nurse earlier, but she said that there was nothing wrong, it looked like a cold... Ok, so I give him some cough medicine & he's ok.  Saturday, I go see a friend I havent seen since both our kids were born (about 8 years ago). We go to lunch & then I stop by to see my brother & his family.  I get back to my parents & my oldest is worse... he's running a fever & is pale, and my youngest DS is coughing & sniffling.  So since it was late, we decided to leave first thing Sunday.  DS1's fever broke shortly after giving some motrin, DS2 & 3 are getting crankier & crankier.. So we get back home & DH is now so far gone, he ended up taking NyQuil & passing out.  DS2 wont go to bed. DS1 is hyper... the worst of his sickness over... DS3 WORSE!!! UGH!  So this morning after giving baths & showers, I call the Dr & take them in for their appointment.  DS1 checks out, he's just wheezing so they gave him a nebulizer treatment & instructed me to do the same at home.  DS2 just has a cold & is fine.  DS3 has had a cough since August 17.  We thought it was croup, after a week I took him to the dr & they say its not croup (which they originally diagnosed) and its a cold... at his check up I mentioned it again & they say its a cold & there is nothing they can give. He gets seen again today & they still cant figure out why after a month the cough wont go away... maybe its allergies since everything else panned out.  So he was given Zyrtec...  I bring them home, go out to get their prescriptions & some stuff from the grocery store. I get home 2 1/2 hours later & DS3 has a 101.9 fever!!!  It figures he gets the worst AFTER seeing the dr.  So I feed them dinner, give the medicines to who need them, get them dressed for bed. 7pm, I put DS3 down.. he's been up TWICE already!  Its going to be a L O N G Night :(

Oh & while I was at the grocery store, I had DS1 with me, he was being good, but asking for everything that by the time I got to the end of the store I was getting really annoyed.  He asked for watermelon, I said no because everytime I buy it, it goes bad because you dont eat it.  It was one of those pre cut packages...He didnt put it back right so it fell, busted open & watermelon went everywhere. So I move my cart over, bend down to start picking up the pieces of melon & this guy comes by with his cart, rams it into mine as he was trying to pass & gets stuck between the produce shelf & my cart.  I apologize & bend down to pick up what knocked out of my cart so I could move it & the asshole rolls his eyes, huffs & acts like Im taking FOREVER... So I looked at him & said louder... OH IM SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. He walks by & says "you should have left him home". I was like WTF??? Ass maybe YOU should have stayed home.  I wanted to add to pull the broom stick out of your ass... but didnt want to be like that infront of my kid.  That just REALLY pissed me off--why do these people always come out when Im having a long, really stressful few days... Do I have something written on my forehead or back that says "Assholes gravitate here" ???

Ok, I feel better now :)  TIA for reading if you made it this far
