Have you ever just had one of those weeks? I mean a week ago, my husband and I were awakened at 1230 am by our 4 year old son "barking" and crying. He went to bed fine and 4 hours later he woke up with this awful cough and a 105 F fever. Off to the emergency room to find out he had the croup and pneumonia (this after the h1n1 a month ago). He gets a shot in the behind (he was NOT real happy about that), a prescription, and told to stay home from preschool for a minimum of 3 days (he was not real happy about that either). Anyway, I keep him home. Saturday I send out 8 packages via priority mail. The small ones make it there in the 3 days they are suppose to. The 2 larger packages take their good old time about it. I mean I had one that was going to the next state over and it took 4 days (the buyer accused me of lying about sending it, filed a paypal dispute, escalated it to a claim, and has refused to let it go even though the package is there). Now they claim what I sent was not working and/or not even in the package (a fiasco all the way around). The good news in this part is the other large package contained 3 yo yo loaches that traveled for 5 days before they made it to another east coast state. They are alive and well! Yeah! Next I order frontosa and there is a problem with my shipment and 10 of the 15 are received dead. The seller and I are working that out. All the while, my 8 year old daughter is getting up every morning "hoping" to be sick and running a fever so she too can stay home. She has not been sick at all and has to go to school (she is about as happy as her brother at this point). In the mean time, my husband is getting ready to go out of town for 6 days to bear hunt. Now I don't know how many of you are married, but when I say he is getting ready I mean: He is asking me where this is and where that is, and this needs washed, and etc..... So I am trying to get our camper stocked for a 6 day trip for him. This has to include clothes (enough for 3 weeks because he might get wet, it might be cold, it might be hot.....), food he knows how to fix, snacks...we must have lots of those, etc....I think you get the picture. Don't get me wrong, he is a wonderful hubby and makes stands and buys tanks and does plumbing - so I am not really complaining! I talked to my oldest daughter today (23 years old) and she told me she will be home for Thanksgiving!! That is awesome, I haven't seen her in over 2 years. My hubby finally left for camp this morning. My son went to preschool today, my daughter went to school....I now have a big Thanksgiving dinner to plan and I have no clue what to do at this point (it is way too quiet).
If you made it through all of that, I thank you for reading. It really has been one topsey turvey week!
