Ok, so Tom is doing a little better..stil coughing and sniffling and sounding awful, but he's taking his medicines and eating since I'm not putting him on his ADHD meds while he's home.
Here's the weeks recap:
Monday, hubby had his ultrasound for his kidneys - gets it ebery 2 years or so
Tuesday, I had an eye doctor's appointment and wound up with the dilation drops that resulted in a horrendous migraine.
Wednesday, Tom woke up shivering with a high fever, so I ran him to the walk-in hours at the doc, they did strep culture, ran Bek to preschool, then ran back to my appointment for a thyroid biopsy - 5 needles, no Lidicanie or anything else to numb it - back home for quick shower and something to eat, then ran back to get Bek
Thursday, Tom woke up crying and saying that he felt like he was dying, called on-call doc and ended up taking him in as soon as they opened at
815am, did flu test, back home to try and nap, called and said test was positive, so out to get his homework and medicines. Meanwhile, something shorted in the phone lines, so we had no house phone at all, and where we live, we have extremely limited 9as in on a wing and a prayer) cell service. Oh, and I was supposed to have a follow-up with the allergist, but I called and cancelled that Wednesday night since Tom's fever was so high.Today, Tom didn't even get up until 830 am (that's 14 hours of sleep for him!!) and I had him eat some Jello so that I could get his medicines in him. He grazed all day, which is a good thing and had mac and cheese for dinner. Had an unexpected visitor - phone company said not until Tuesday 3/4, but there was a serviceman ringing the doorbell! FIgured out that there was a line that was not a good one, got everything hooked up, including the house alarm so there is no longer a trouble light going off, and that's that...service charge will be on the next bill.
So, everything seems to be settling down, and I was playing a game online, eating a nutrition bar (EAS AdvantEdge, Peanut-caramel, in case you were wondering) and there was a loud crunch. Now, the bars are fairly smooth in consistency, but a bit chewy...so I took a look and freaked because there was, what looked like a tooth. Took a better look, and yep, it was a crown...my right rear gold crown, to be exact!! WTF is going on this week?>?!!!??? And of course, my dentist isn't open on the weekends, won't be open until 8am MOnday. So I will be heading out soon for groceries and temporary dental adhesive.
In the meantime, I've called the grocery store to check on a special order that I placed (store brand pediatric nutrition drink) and it didn't come in. They were going to try to call this afternoon to see if they could get it in on SUnday...I tried to call the distributor and of course, they are closed today...so....now we play the hunt and wait game to see if it has been discontinued or is off line for repackaging or what is going on.
I'm trying to figure out what I have done, either in this life or in another life, that deserves the chaos of this week, and have come to the conclusion that I will never know. All I can do right now is just sit back and laugh because if I don't laugh, I will start crying and might not be able to stop.

1st communion dress - she informed me that it doesn't have to be just white anymore
