Even though he was born with a clef lip (and we had no idea until the moment he was delivered), and we had to have him in surgery to correct it when he was 3 months (it broke our hearts to let him go with the nurse, and sit there are wait for a few hours) --- we have always got away pretty easily when it comes to being up all night with illnesses.
That was until last night!
Yesterday, I had a very important client to see, for some commercial flooring work, so I dropped E, (that is what I will call our son from now on I think!) off at camp. He goes to a day camp which he just LOVES. In the car he said that his tummy hurt a bit, he thought it was just because he was still hungry. I got him a snack, and dropped him off, it was pyjama day, so very relaxed.
I raced to my appt. (in another city) and did what I had to do, my intention was to get back to the office, and work on my floor plans for the job, and get it quoted out. The sun was shinning, the a/c in the car was keeping me at the right temperature......the second I got back into the car, my cell rang, E had puked all over the floor, could I come and pick him up!!
I sped off, picked him up...all over the pyjamas, say no more.... by the time he got home, he said he felt fine, and was great for the rest of the day.
At 1:30am this morning, "Mom, my tummy doesn't feel good!", up we get (my DH and I are very good at taking turns, E was bottle fed, so we have always been used to that "schedule"), DH thought he was hungry, as he could do nothing but eat and eat yesterday afternoon. He settled after a quick snack and drink....until 3:30am, her really didn't feel good again, so into mommy and daddy's bed he came, I usually put him between us, but DH had a long week at work, and by this time was pretty grumpy, so I put him on the edge of the bed....at 5:45...well, you guessed it, all over the bed, my nightable, book, glasses...everywhere!
So needles to say, I had a rough night!! What a freeking week!
As for the project I am working on for this client, it is turning into a nightmare, not a small project, that will use up all of my manpower, just at a time when everyone else (residential) want their flooring done before school starts --- here is my hint to you, if you are out shopping for ANYTHING that has to be installed, don't do it a few days before you want it done, and then freak out when the company doesn't have room on their schedule to accomodate you!!!
I take great pride in my business, but holy crap!!
Thanks for letting me vent! I have been doing a lot of knitting, a tiny little had for Gavin, because he his so small, everything I passed down to my sister is too big yet! Working on E's blanket, square by square, hoping to complete that in the next 2 weeks. Also started a pair of socks for E, he is quite excited, he loves socks for some reason, always a big deal to choose the right pair for school each morning!
I hope you are having a better start to your weekend that I am, if you have any inspirational thoughts for me, please let me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!!
Finally, here is a picture of my sister and her new son, just about 1/2 hr after giving birth, man she looked great! She always does, lucky duck, I love her so!!
...and a picture of E with his new cousin:
