Unreal

"Unreal" pretty much sums up this past week.

Don't ask me about Monday and Tuesday. They were a blur. I don't even remember what happened on those days. :)

Wednesday was just "one of those days." I was in bed by 7pm and asleep by 7:30. I think Jake put the boys down around 8:30? Not sure, all I know was I needed my day to end ASAP. Then I proceeded to get 12 hours of sleep.

Which was really good timing because Thursday was a doozie.

Javen woke up sick. Jake headed to work and of course ended up working downtown and was stuck there all day. Long story short, after speaking to Javen's pediatrician's office a couple times, they told me to take him to the ER.

NOT what I wanted to hear.

I think I've maybe taken him to the doctor one time due to illness. My kids have never had so much as an ear infection. An occasional cold, yes. But nothing to normally warrant a doctor visit. Anyway...the ER.

I dropped Liam off at our neighbor's house and Javen and I were off to the hospital.

In 3 years of parenting, this was our first trip to the ER.

4 hours, 3 PBS shows, 2 popsicles, and 1 x-ray later we were home and in the clear. Javen was the best little patient. His only complaint was he wanted a sandwich. Poor little guy was hungry, but after a morning of throwing up, I wasn't ready to oblige his appetite.

The next day he was doing MUCH better. You would have never even known he was sick on Thursday. That's how he rolls.

Can't keep a good man down.

On Friday, both boys were asking to go "bye bye" and since I had a week's worth of errands to accomplish, I happily obliged.

We struck gold at the (tax free!) clearance sale at Children's Place.

(Oh, and the baby even got something  cute from the tax free sales!)

We got caught in torrential down pours and had to change the boys out of sopping wet clothes into previously mentioned new clothes. (That I bought for NEXT summer, so they were to big, but at least they were dry!)

Side note: I can't believe the clothes I bought for Javen next summer were not in the toddler section any more! He'll be in clothes from the big boy section! How did this happen?!

We came home and had lunch, then they BOTH proceeded to protest nap time. Not a wink of sleep. Oh well.

Can't win 'em all!
