I give up

June 22, 2008

I totally give up on trying to have a "weekend". I've realized its just not possible!!! This work week felt like it went on forever; most people are happy for Friday but I learn to dread them because its more up at dawn and run all day for me to the point I'd rather be at work!!! LOL As a result of it all I am sick...and it sucks so bad because I hate being sick. I don't do sick well. Every weekend it seems is occupied with baby showers or weddings or other events like Matty's activities and what not that I just can't seem to have a real "weekend" to get anything done or do anything fun with the family!!! BLAH

I went into work on Friday and left 3 hours later to attend a funeral for my Aunt Kitty. She was the oldest sister to my grandfather. Out of 8 children born now my Aunt Margie is the only one left since my grandfather too has passed away a couple years ago!! I got home Friday after the funeral and ended up taking my son down to spend the night with his cousin at my grandmother's house. He bugged me relentlessly until I did!!! Funny how 5 year olds can do that so well. I got home pretty late since I decided to hang out with my grandmother that night since she was off of work for the funeral.

I started not feeling well Friday night. I had a scratchy throat and by 8pm my voice was starting to fade. Got up Saturday morning and felt even worse. I showered and got myself together and then my girlfriend Marie came over to do some photos of Bailey. She only cooperated in spurts but we got some really cute and some really funny shots. The best one ever has to be her look up at the lights with all her chunkie-ness hanging about!!! I LOVE IT.

I got a call while we were wrapping things up that my mother was feeling worse and needed to go back to the emergency room. She was there on Thursday night but signed herself out AMA (against medical advice) when she realized they wanted to keep her over night for more tests and observation. So like a dumdum she went home and got worse and ended up back in there anyway Saturday afternoon. So I spent the rest of my Saturday in the hospital with my mother. They admitted her around 7:30pm and so I left her to rest and went to pick up my kids. I ended up bringing my cousin home with me to spend the night with Matthew since he bugged me relentlessly until I said ok once again!!! Sheesh....5 year olds.

Adam went down to A.C on Saturday night to see a UFC fight at the House of Blues with my neighbor so once I got home I went right to bed with Bailey because I felt so cruddy and my voice was getting worse as the day wore on.

Woke up this morning so much worse and pretty much down to a whisper because if I talk above that nothing really comes out that anyone can understand or hear. Adam's been answering my phone because no one on the other end can hear me. My sister came up to join my son and my cousin Nicole so I have a house full!!! They'll keep the kids entertained hopefully so that I can rest. I'm just wondering how I am going to manage work tomorrow morning being I have to CALL OUT patient's names in order to bring them into my booth and register them!!! This should be interesting. Everyone says I should call out but I just don't know if I can...I'm still technically on probation and I hate to call out anyway. So who knows how that will play out.

My mother is still in the hospital and will be so until Monday. My good friend Devi is in the hospital as well...she is 19 weeks pregnant and having some complications that they are going to observe. So its been a crazy crazy weekend and I've got my hands full with my two hospitalized and my own illness plus I have two children and well...the list goes on!!!

The weekend wasn't a total bust...got some new cute pictures to share and that's always fun!!!!

ENJOY and hopefully I'll be able to SPEAK to you all soon!!!
