Just another week in the life of a crazed mother

Day before Disney Cruise oldest gets a nasty cold
The kind where green snot comes pouring out of your nose when you sneeze
We find this out on the plane to Orlando

To the woman seated in the same aisle as oldest...sorry!

Dear Husband runs around Orlando Hyatt Hotel looking for cold medicine at 10pm.
Comes back with Claritin.
Closest find.

Day one on cruise the snot isnt as often so I'm thankful.

Great time.
Great weather
For the most part, very behaved children

Then I come home...

5 loads of laundry (day one)
Last minute decision to get puppy two months earlier than expected (Wilsey, the most adorable goldendoodle ever)
Puppy proofing the home before Saturday
Youngest spikes a fever an hour before we are to go out to a surprise 40th for a dear friend
Shove motrin down him and ask amazing babysitter 100 times if she is comfortable taking care of him (after youngest assurres me he wants me to leave)
Fever gone Monday. So I send to school. Think Im out of the woods.

But Im not
Tuesday awakes with 103 and it's been fever city ever since.
48 hours.
Fever as high as 104
Happy kid for the most part
Nothing hurts
Nothing aches
Other than a lack of appetite and a raging fever; the kid is good.

Ped tells me it's "viral"
Which is another term for no drugs can cure it
Which is another term for suck it up and keep feeding him motrin till it breaks
Did I mention since Saturday?
Today's Wednesday.

Forgot to squeeze in a neuro apt for Migraines that are coming almost daily.
New meds and Brain MRI scheduled.
Good times

This week has been a blast.
Thank goodness vacation was last week!
