Poo Poo on Our Plans This Week

I am utterly bummed.

I think I am more bummed than my kids. 

We were invited to a birthday party for one of my students and his brother. It's going to be 103 degrees out today and this party was suppose to be a pool party.  And this party was going to be fun. 

My daughter, unfortunately is sick.

Again.

I don't know why she keeps on getting sick like she is. When she gets these stomach bugs they really knock her down hard. This started yesterday morning and continued well into the evening with non-stop trips to the bathroom or her head hanging over her bucket.

Poor thing.

She was feeling better this morning and asked me for a glass of Tru-Moo. I haven't ever tasted this brand of chocolate milk, but apparently it's all the rave in the 6-12 year old age group where chocolate milk is concerned. 

And apparently all the moms in the commercial just go on and on about the healthy benefits of drinking this milk.

So my daughter consumed two small cups of this moo milk and next thing I know she is running to the bathroom...and I needn't share anymore information.  

You know what happens next.

She took a bath afterwards and is now sleeping on the couch. I informed the parents of the boys that we would not be attending, and the dad let me know that one of the birthday boys is sick as well and if we still want to come we are welcome to do so. 

We'll see how she fares when she wakes up.

Praying to the tummy Gods that she is miraculously cured and we can go. 

This has been a really crappy weekend.  Yesterday my daughter missed movie day at school. Today we are all missing the birthday party. Then last night I got a call from a friend of mine who was suppose to fly in next weekend, letting me know she can't make it.  Her sister in law's cancer took a turn for the worse. 

It doesn't look good.

It broke my heart listening to her crying on the phone. She was feeling upset about her Sister-in-law's condition and upset about the fact that she couldn't visit the kids and I. I told her family comes first and she shouldn't apologize for being with family at such a difficult time. We will have other days.  

Her sister-in-law won't.(I didn't say that for the record)  But we will still be here, so she needs to do what she has to.  I felt so bad for her.  

Then my oldest son contacted me on Facebook. He wants to come live here. I am all for that. However, he needs to make some major life decisions.  I can't make him help himself, he has to want the help. That's all I'm saying.  

Well, I don't have much to share right now.  So I'm going to go and lay down and take a nap I think. This work week wore me out and yesterday really wore me out. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. 

I will try and hop back on here later.  I'll fill you in on a little story.  Nothing major but it involves the infamous world of online dating.  No... no fish caught to speak of yet, but I'm hopeful someday my prince will come.  In the meantime, we can all laugh at the ridiculous experiences I have had using this thing called online matchmaking.  It's easier finding a needle in a haystack, than to find a good man around here.

That is all for now...
