Just Another Bend In Journey of Life

Sick kids, cats and bowling...Boy time flies! I realize I've been really bad at keeping this up. With the new house and everything I've just been so busy. And in all honesty, nothing exciting has been going on. This past weekend consisted of my daughter having a stomach ache on Sat. I thought I poisoned her after I checked the date on the eggs that I'd made her. The "sell by" date was 5 days prior. GREAT! I gave my kid samonella poisoning!!! That went away so we went shopping and got some things for the house. Got home and the belly ache came back so we just loafed around on the couch for the rest of the night. Her dad called to talk to her and she didn't want to talk and rolled over on her side and put her hand over her ear. Next thing I know she pops up and the hand goes from the ear to her mouth. Wonderful! I know what's coming next so before I got "are you going to throw up?" out of my mouth we were both covered as well as the floor. Gross!!! What I couldn't figure out is why in the hell it was pistachio green??? Maybe the eggs and the blue juice that morning. After all, blue and yellow make green right? Who the hell knows? Explained the icky belly though. Needless to say I cleaned her, myself and the floor up and made a little bed for her and stayed up most of the night waiting for episode #2 which thankfully didn't happen. She was ok the next day so I had her eat some saltines and needless to say, those didn't sit well so she got the shits. UGH! That was over and we were supposed to be in a bowling tournament and she felt good enough to go so we did. The lucky little shit won $10, a really cool Curious George flashlight and a 12 pack of pop. (Yes I live in the north so it's pop and not soda!) We got home and my sister calls and tells me that she won $20 for having the lowest score. Now that was really cool that someone donated money for that. She was so happy. So she learned that even though you don't get the highest score, you can still win in the end. She said that she's making the woman that donated the money a nice little card. :) I know she'll love it.... On to the cat, he's been sick since Thursday. All I could think of was the little shit ate something and I'm gonna have to have surgery done on him again. Wonderful! Well after a weekend of him hacking and coughing and what not I finally got in to a vet to have him checked out. His regular vet is in FL till Monday. Again, Wonderful! Anyway, I got him into a different one and told them I didnt' care if I had to sit till 11p tonight. I just wanted to make sure he was ok. Well, his temp is normally around 101 or 102 and today it was up to 105.7, so yes, he was really sick. He has some kind of lower respitory virus and bacterial infection. UGH! They gave him a shot and sent me on my way with some medicine for him. I have to bring him back tomorrow since I'm not too keen on shoving a thermometer up my cats ass. Thank God!!! Hopefully this will be the end of him getting sick. God I hope so!!! The other cat is doing good and they're finally getting along very well. They want to see him tomorrow too so I'm going to bring the both of them with me. I'll have to stop at work since they haven't seen the new one yet. Not many of them up here that's for sure!!!
other than that, I have nothing for ya. The house is coming along. The living room is still not painted all the way but I started on my daughters room this weekend. That's half done and I'm hoping to have it completed before she comes home. She's with my parents until Thurs since she doesn't have school this week and plans w/ her dad fell though. Such is life I guess.
More later (hopefully!)
