February in October

I'm You know how they have Christmas in July sales and events? Well, I am having February, my most hated month, in October and I don't like it at all. 

First there was this:

 

Joy was home sick most of this week. Sick and sick at heart- in the middle of middle school muck that mom can't fix.

Then there was this :

I called called to school on Thursday because Gracie threw up. She NEVER throws up so I knew it was going to be bad. Twice at school, 3-4 times at home- and then she asked to eat( takes after her father- ugh) then she did it again. 

So we took her to a GI doctor on Friday even though she was still feeling funny but she did great and the dr was awesome! He actually DID SOMETHING For her. She has to get a CT scan but he's ordering a SEDATED one so we don't have to do it twice!!! He gets it. 

He acknowledged that she was different and that it was ok. Not one of the 4 Drs we were to in the last four weeks did that. It's so nice to find someone who actually gets that you are there for a reason.

Then there's this:

SPOILER ALERT: the following may be disturbing to some viewers: ( don't say I didn't warn you !!)

I told you not to look. 

I woke up at 1:30 to Chris yelling for help. He went up to bed with a queasy stomach and he must have passed out and hit his head somehow. He said that his head and neck hurt so I took him to the ER while Aunt Peewee came over to stay with the girls. We were there for about 3 hours. At one point he started to pass out again and it got a little scary because 3 people came in. Then about 20 minutes later when he had just calmed down they came in and said ok all the tests came back ok - you can go. Now. Right now. So we went home.and he got sick on the way home. Arghhhhhh!! 

So he spent the day in bed -- thinks he's going to Pittsburgh tomorrow/ yeah right.  We probably won't even make it up to pappy Angelo's tomorrow. 

So I'm done with October. 

Bring on the Christmas!!!!!
