Crazy Day!

This is just a blog venting about my crazy day. The day started off just about as normal as expected in this house these days. I awoke to my cell phone alarm due to the fact that I'm sleeping in Caroline's room while Jason fights whatever it is that's ailing him right now. Caroline's loving it! Jack's doing okay with it, he's sleeping on the floor in Caroline's room. The kids and I are having a semi-camp out. I got dressed as Jason slept, and gently reminded him on my way out that we had a parent conference with Jack's teacher at 7:30. Caroline was about as grouchy as Oscar this morning, but uses the time from the house to my in-laws to adjust to waking up. I got her to laugh when I opened up the car door and a golf ball fell out and I joked that the car was throwing golf balls at me. She got a kick out of that one. The parent meeting went well enough. Jack's teacher had the instructional specialist at the meeting, her reason was because she met with Jack and could tell us some things. My thinking, as was Jason's, was that Jack's teacher was afraid of what Jason would say due to the meeting that Jason had had with Jack's first grade teacher at the end. Let's just say it didn't go well.

I could tell that Jason still wasn't feeling well when he came into my room before the meeting and admonished me because he never knew how to get in touch with me. He called my school phone that morning to get in but couldn't get a hold of me, because it was off. I had had my cell phone with me that morning, so I didn't think about turning the other one on. He got on to me about it, and I responded with, "And when are you going to feel better?" I knew he was griping at me because he was frustrated with not feeling well.

He went on to school and I went on with my day. At about 9:45 I got a message that I needed to call him, and it wasn't great. He'd called the doctor and told them about his cough and how bad it was, and they wanted him to come in to get a chest x-ray. He didn't want to be by himself if the news wasn't great, so he wanted me to go with him. After some frantic searching for a sub to cover my class we found one and I went with Jason to get the x-ray. Turns out the x-ray was clear and they perscribed more potent medicine for him and we were done by 3:00.

Jack handled the situation just fine, he's such a trooper. The woman who was supposed to tell Jack that his Grammy or Pa would pick him up forgot, but he went with Grammy no problem. The safety patrol student who saw Jack go with Grammy told the woman when she came looking for Jack that he looked a little confused but went with her no argument.

Caroline asked me tonight when I was going to start sleeping in my room, and my response was, "That's a good question sweetheart. I could ask you the same thing." She gave me that pissed off look and left the room.

Maybe tomorrow will be normal. HA!!!! Wishful thinking on my part I know.
