Let's start with this; I was dreading this past Friday last Monday because I knew Russ would be leaving for a 48hr ball tournament in Dodge City, KS without me. He is my best friend, I am able to enjoy a maximum 12 hours of alone time but then I want him back around. True story!
I then learned early on into my dreadful week, that it might not be so dreadful, my sis-in-love would be coming up to stay with me because my niece, Stacia, also had a ball tourney. So I could relax in the "having to sleep in my house alone" department. However, Stacia's tourney might as well been a 48hr cause I only saw them mainly at night.
They rolled in about 9 on Friday night and we stayed up gabbing until midnight. We were all awake at 6am including Dalton, because my niece had early games and well Dalton had gone to bed earlier Friday night and was FULLY rested.
By 9:3am Dalton and I had been to Walmart and were now in our swimsuits playing in the plastic pool and I of course had to show him how to use the Slip-N-Slide. Let's just admit that there should be a WARNING NOT FOR ADULTS label on the box because WOW, I feel sore in places I didn't know existed. It hurts to laugh or turn a certain way.
Dalton and I were both napping by 1pm and then dressed and out the door by 315pm to attend Jojo's 4th Bday party which was at the park with a scorching 107 degree heat index. Ahhhhh cake and ice cream! What a treat in that heat!! In return that treat was toxic to me and made me horribly ill....DUH; the new meds I am on PLUS cake equals a HUGE NO-NO! No stopping there, Des was hosting a BBQ out in Bonner at her apartment and since I missed the last one, I had to show my face. Backing up, Did I mention it was HOT? IT WAS HOT Well we got to Des's and my son did a 360! He wanted to lay on her couch! What?! Not play with the other kids? Be inside? Not my child. My motherly instinct knew something was wrong but mainly assumed he was just plain exhausted from the day/heat etc. So we headed home.
About 7pm he states he wants to go to his bed...I immediately whipped out the thermometer! 102 temp...."#@&!" was all I could say. Why? Because we just did this whole high fever out of nowhere for 4 days crap not even a month ago. We were healthy for a year...a year! So I dosed him up and off to bed he went. I text Russ and just sobbed, I wanted my hubby! He of course, at that point wished he had driven himself cause he would have turned around and headed back for us. But that wasn't the case and I just needed to suck it up and be a big Mommy :)
Until... 3am when Dalton woke with a 102 and ......(wait for it)....HIVES! Are you freaking kidding me? Is this a joke? Hives? We haven't seen those in a year and a half. Granted they weren't geographic in size but he was aware they were there and that they itched so we both weren't happy. I dosed him with Motrin and Benedryl and asleep he went...Until... 6am when he woke with 103 temp mind you NOT ready for meds. So here we are again rotating meds for break through fevers! (THIS IS EXHAUSTING TO TYPE)
Sis, myself, Dalton, Stacia and RayRay(Stacia's great friend she brought with her) all slept or lazed around until Noon...Yes Noon!(backing up did I mention that I shared my king size bed with Stacia and Rayray? It was like a teenage slumber party all over again) I hadn't even been to Starbucks and Dalton was for sure not my normal running, entertaining child by any means!
Sister and I had the best laughs this afternoon. We were trying to figure out some word that Stacia and Rayray had concocted so parents couldn't understand what they were talking about. Well, Sis and I couldn't stand it and were trying to figure it out. We were in tears and wheezing we were laughing so hard at them and ourselves! It was by far a point that broke my stress/tension/anxiety level with all of the Dalton issues. On top of everything we found he also has early stages of juvenile diabetes Friday afternoon. (of course again after Russ had already left town) we go back Wed for more blood work and better detailed answers. Now can you imagine my single parent anxiety attack I was having this weekend? :)
Things I need to know sooner rather than later regarding this weekend:
What in the hell is wrong with my baby boy?
What does JACOBER or TRAJACBERT or $%^&*#@@! mean? (that's the word Stacia and Rayray made up)
Where can two teenage white girls get corn rows done for a decent price?
Last one: WHY do they all live 2 hrs away again? I had a blast and am looking forward to some major GIRL time in a few weeks. I totally played my Rap music for Stacia. She thinks Little Wayne is good rap....Hello...Master P, Too Short, Bone, Thugs and Harmony????? that is rap my little country bumpkin! :)
OK well pictures to come soon but for now I say Goodnight. On great news of things, my hubby WON the tournament and is now 5 hours from home. He cant get here fast enough.
Any prayers for answers I would greatly appreciate!
OMG Sis, what a great time... I still have NOT figured out the word...I have given up. You so forgot "SNOW, RUN DMC and the so amazing 'JAM MASTER J', SALT N PEPPA, DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE"...just to mention a few... Loved it girl, Bud so needs to go away more often... :))
