Nothing left....

I am sorry but I'm in a very blue mood. It's actually more like....a black mood. I have had such a horrific couple of days. Today was the real kicker! Tanner threw up on Friday night. I know. Lovely. But, he got it out of his system and was done with it. I had a show to do on Saturday, a couple of hours away. I got home from that around 8:30 and by 9:30, I was in bed. I felt just drained. I ended up getting out of bed at 9 the next day. I had the most bizarre dreams so I'm pretty certain I had a fever. Well, DH was up with Tucker all night. Yes, you guessed it, he was puking his lil guts out! I took over on Sunday. Tuck was so lethargic and couldn't keep anything down. Poor guy. So of course today, he was unable to go to school. He had a 101.7 fever last night and you have to be fever free for 24 hours which he wasn't.... That alone wouldn't be a big deal. I took Tanner to school and just as Tucker and I were getting ready to go pick him up, I get a phone call from Jake's principal. He's left his classroom, in a huff, won't go back, is wandering aimlessly around the school, won't talk to anyone, and won't let them get close enough to talk to him.....could I come down and get him? There are only a few words to describe my feelings right then, all contain 4 letters! Luckily, Jared was able to get him because I had to go get Tanner. Well, Jake is home, has been since 12:00 and he's driving me seriously crazy. I think I may be certifiable now. I'm ready to disown him. He's being so mean and violent with his brothers, I finally told him to get out of the house. I need a vacation!

oh you poor thing....
it must be something in the season change....
my poor husband has hardly seen our daughter go crazy with a fit of rage or defiance, and yesterday he saw what he considers the worst of all. (it isn't) anyway, it literally scared the crap out of him so he stands there petrified while i am restraining our seemingly possessed child...
these instances with her used to be everyday, but since she has grown and they have lessoned in frequency, it takes me off guard everytime...
the past week though, it's constant....
again, it must be something in the season or something...
you do need and deserve a vacation!!! somewhere quiet, perfect and peaceful...
