My week in review
5:50 PM Posted by Unknown
If I just posted everyday I am sure a lot more people would come to look at my blog but as it was this week I just didn't get around to it. So instead here is a long post of "MY WEEK".
Last Sunday A.J. come down with the 24hr stomach flu. That wasn't fun but he was a trooper and by Monday he was much better.
On Tuesday Matthew then came down with the stomach flu, ugggg. Not so much the trooper. He literally freaked out every time he threw up. I can totally understand that but unlike A.J., Matthew makes no attempt to run for the bathroom nor would he keep a bowl by his side "just in case". Luckily most of these things just skip right by me.
NOT this time however. Friday I came down with it!! Not to mention I had a 8am appt at the school for Matthew's Child Find screening (to see about him in preschool due to the fact that he has the same speech issues as A.J.) I managed to pull myself together and got there only to be told the speech therapist called in because she was sick, grrrr. It was not a pretty day for me. But hey, I lost 4 lbs overnight lol. And well then by the next day I had gained 2 of them back, oh well.
Not sure if I ever mentioned I was going to see dh in Texas after Christmas. He found out last week that he was going to have Christmas off so he wanted me to change my tickets for him to come home instead. So I did or so I thought. I had gotten the tickets online through a site (priceline) and called to change them. I even told them that the tickets were now for my dh and explained why etc..... I paid an additional $253 (on top of what I already paid) to change them only to discover they were still in my name and useless to my dh. I called around trying to get it fixed and they forwarded my problem to someone higher up perhaps and said they would get back to me 24 to 48hrs later. Right, still haven't heard from them. So, dh ended up buying ANOTHER flight to come home just in case they wouldn't fix the flight I bought. Because for every day he waited would be closer to when he was coming home and the ticket for him would just be that much more expensive or sold out. How much did we end up paying for all that?? Too freaking much!!!!
Yesterday I did some shopping!! I wasn't 100% after being sick on Friday but I got done what I needed too. I got to go and buy a "hot" outfit for when dh comes home and we go out(maybe I will get a decent pic of me to post) We won't have a lot of time though. He gets in at 10:30pm and we are going to a hotel near the bar/nightclub scene in Scottsdale, AZ so we may get a couple hours of drinking and dancing before things close. Then the next day dh gets to start working on my van and pray he gets it fixed before he leaves. He only has like 3 and a half days to work on it and he needs to fit Christmas in there somewhere.

Okay, I'm new here... are you really living on the road with the boys? I've been wanting to do that. I would just love love love to travel with the kids, but I still need to keep all of our stuff somewhere... anyway, hope you come by and visit me sometime!

Sounds like you had a long week. The flu going around is no fun at all on a family. well I hope you get the plane ticket you purchased taken care of.

I got my share of virus today! Like you, I'm usually immune (either that, or the last one to fall!)

UGH, we had the flu too, I lost 5 pounds as well!!! Thats the only bright spot.
What speech issues do the boys have? (If I can ask?)
Hope you have fun with the hubby!

Mimi, about my boys speech. They just have problems pronouncing certain letters or sounds or will not pronounce parts of words. Like when A.J. says house it comes out sounding like "how" with the end of the word not being said.
