Going on Vacation

My best girlfriends and I have been planning since Christmas to go on a fun long weekend trip to Santa Fe. Well, we are going this week and as of Monday, I was getting really excite. Well now I just plain need it. This has been a stressful week starting with:

Monday:

Took Benny Boo Boo to the doctor for what I figured was a sinus infection. Hell, all my kids just love to get sinus infections. But nope, that's not it. The docotr says "it may be the beginning of pneumonia" so off for a chest x-ray we go. At this point, I am going to need help. I have all three boys and we all know that they turn from sweet baby angels to hooligans when they get in public places (probably because I have kept them homebound so long). Especially since we had just been to Dr. Daniels office. There is no way I was taking them into the radiology place.

I call my sweet dad who is always willing to help the monkeys but luckily I tried Ryan too and he could help me out. We met and he took the other two for lunch and a drive around the block. Ummmm yeah, 1 1/2 hours later we finally get it done. I am stressing because I know Ryan needs to get back to work and it was just plain taking forever and a day. So we finally get it done in the nick of time, Ryan had to get back to work for an appointment and was getting ready to bring the little cute monsters in with me.

Out of all that, thankfully, no pneumonia.

Tuesday:

I am running on my treadmill (again with my goal of good health) and Hayes comes in and starts playing near me. Next thing I know there is a huge thud. I whipped around and saw in slow motion a ball that was my boy rolling down the treadmill into the wall. I slam it into stop and scoop him up. Of course, he is screaming - it probably hurt like hell and scared the bejesus out of him like it did me. I get him to the kitchen and cleaned up and he is covered in road rash. It looks worse today than it did yesterday. Poor baby. I told him we would go to Target and he could have whatever toy he wanted - thankfully it was only some matchbox cars.

Now, at this point I know my mom is going to kill me when she finds out and threaten once again to take and raise the boys. And there is no option of not telling her as she and daddy are picking up all the boys from school tomorrow and you can't touch his back.

Today:

Sam wakes up with the dreaded swollen eyes, running nose and cough. He has been working on it for over a week and I know that this means SINUS INFECTION once again. So, I had to take him to the allergist at 3:30 with all three boys again! UGH! I specifically asked them to all be on their very best behavior. Unfortunately for me, their humiliated and frazzled mom, their listening ear were not on today.

So, anyway, I NEED THIS VACATION!!!!!!!
