Last week was a crazy week and I am so happy that it's over! Here's a breakdown of how our week went:
Monday: Around 11:30 I get a call from Vanesa at school. Since I couldn't really hear or understand what she was trying to tell me I drive up to the school and the nurse tells me that Vanesa threw up in class. Vanesa and I head home. Around 1:45 I get a call from Steve saying he needs a huge favor (not a good sign). His starter went out in the QT parking lot across from Love Field. He needs me to come pick him up and take him to an auto parts store and take him back to his car. Vanesa and I load up, drive out there, pick Steve up, drive to auto store, drive back to QT and wait to make sure the car is actually fixed.
Tuesday: After school, Zackary starts complaining of his knees hurting. He starts to feel kinda yucky and has a low grade fever around 6:00 ish p.m. Around 3:00 a.m. Zackary comes into my room with a temp of 104.2. Not good.
Wednesday: Zackary obviously doesn't go to school today. His knees are still hurting and his fever keeps going up and down. It is up to 104.9 around 1:30 in the afternoon so we head to the doctor's office. I was going to go to the e.r. because I was really freaking out by this time, but the dr.'s office said to bring him there. At the dr.'s office they stick a really long q-tip up both of his nostrils and Zackary really, really doesn't like this. It immediately came back positive, he had the flu. The doc gave us scripts for Zack to feel better and for me to prevent it, since I didn't get a flu shot. What about Vanesa though? Nothing, I guess we'll just have to pray she doesn't get it.
Still Wednesday: Around 6:30 ish p.m. or so I get a call from Steve asking me for a huge favor (this really can't be good). He needs me to look for the insurance card for the truck that he just bought less than 2 weeks ago. He needs the vin # off of it for some reason. I can't find it he said he figures, it's probably in the truck. OH and by the way, his truck was stolen today. What?!?! Did I hear that right? Yep, someone stole his truck from the parking lot while he was at work. 9:00 p.m. Wed. night, poor, sweet, sick Zack and I load up to go get gas and go pick up Steve from work. 10:00 we arrive at above mentioned work and still no sign of truck. Stupid Dallas thieves!
Thursday: Zack is still sick, but no one else is. STill no word on truck.
Friday: Zack is still sick, still just him. No truck in sight.
Saturday: Zack is feeling better, still sick though, no one else is. 6:30 p.m. go out to dinner at El Fenix. While waiting for dinner, I start to feel like someone just ran over me with their car. Ugh, not good. Eat, go home, take some nyquil and go to bed.
Sunday: Wake up feeling like death warmed over. Stay in bed all day and complain about being sick. Hear Zack running around and playing, he must be feeling much better!
Monday: 6:45 a.m. alarm goes off. Still feel like death, but must take kids to school. By the time I get up, Vanesa is already up and getting ready. Zack is still passed out. He won't wake up. Feels a little warm. He finally wakes up and starts coughing all over the place. I decide he should stay home one more day. Take Vanesa to school then go back home and go to bed until noonish. Lay around another hour or so. Get up and take a shower. Then take Zack to get some lunch and pick Vanesa up from school. Still feel like crap. By 5:00 ish I'm starting to feel better, just really weak and tired. At least my throat doesn't hurt as bad though! 7:00 p.m. I realize no one else is going to get up and cook dinner so I better do it, especially since Vanesa has a very important test tomorrow (Stupid state of Texas TAKS writing test). Show the kids how to cook tuna helper. They think it's fun and even fight over who gets to do what. Why didn't I think of this sooner? 9:00 p.m. everyone has been bathed and is in bed sleeping (hopefully). 9:15 p.m Zackary is not sleeping, says his bed isn't comfortable can he sleep in the living room? Umm no, just go to bed. 9:20 Zackary wants to know if he can pleeeeeeeeeeaaasssee sleep in the living room? His bed is realllllllllllyyyyy uncomfortable. No. 9:30 Zackary really can't sleep, can he just sleep in the living room? No, just get in my bed. 9:31 Zackary is snoring his head off. Crazy kid!
Let's hope this week is much better! If you have a minute tomorrow (Tuesday) say a quick prayer for Vanesa. She will be testing all day long on TAKS writing test. She must pass this to move on to the fifth grade. We all know she will, but I still get nervous for her! Also this was my 99th post! I can't believe it! Maybe I can actually get some pictures for my 100th post! Any help with that Court????
