Holiday blah *updated*

My weekend sucked.  I don't have the energy to go into it right now.  And now I'm back at work and I don't feel very good, so double blah.

*edited*

If you want to know why the weekend sucked, e-mail me (jenstrange AT gmail DOT com) and I will tell you.  There were too many people involved whose feelings might be hurt if I sat and ranted about all the little things that came together to make the weekend suck.  (Sheri, you were a wonderful hostess and I'm sorry I was a bitch for two days straight.)

But for a glimpse, imagine Jake puking (a combination of curdled chocolate milk, snot drainage, and stomach bile)  ALL OVER himself, his carseat, his blanket, his doggie, the floor, the back seat, and the back of the front seat.  Four times in 30 seconds.  I spent $45 to have my car shampoo'd to get rid of the smell.  What a mess.

*edited again*

Jake was up ALL NIGHT coughing.  We slept on the couch -- slept, that's a laugh -- so he could be upright during his coughing.  I ended up rubbing Vic's vapor rub all over MY chest so when I held him, he would get the benefit (because he cried the first time I put it on him, he hates being messy and didn't like the greasy feeling.)  I took him to the doctor this morning (and obviously, skipped work today) and in addition to the cough that hasn't let up for 4 days, and the fever that's been present for a few days, he has the beginnings of a double ear infection.  Fun.  So now he's on antibiotics and a really strong cough syrup, and hopefully that will clear him up.  Thanks to everyone who has been asking.

(((hugs))) I am sorry hon. Does it make it any better that my weekend was horrible too? lol.

Missed seeing you this time around. I am just so glad last week is a thing of the past, even if K is gone all week. It sure beats the poop and vomit lol.

Trying to make you smile :)

Love you. Anxious to hear what happened.

Thinking of you

Consider this an email hon. My email is WAY JACKED UP today, I can receive but can't send too well. My email seems to only get effed up when Kevin is gone. Nice luck huh?!

Obviously, my comment above is TOTALLY sugar coated. It was the WORST Thanksgiving of my life for far too many reasons. One big one being the trip to see you all being cancelled.

I am still angry, pissed, sad, depressed, frustrated, annoyed, and totally heart broken that it didnt happen.

November can't be done with fast enough.

Please email me and let me know what else happened, other than the obvious of me not being able to come down. I am guessing I am one of those people you mentioned in your entry about not hurting but please email me.

Jen,

Sorry it was so bad for you. Sometimes we get lemons, but just have to go for the lemonade.

I think I've topped about 2K pix for the week and am grateful for all of Robert's and my family and friends.

Let me know if you got all of the pix. For some reason, I thought a disc was left behind. (there should be two)

Thanks for autographing the cover of your magazine. I will save it for posterity's sake, and who knows? It may even be worth money one day! ;-0 (Not that I would EVER sell it!)

Hope your week gets better.

So sorry you had a bad weekend hon, Jake too by the sounds of it - poor little guy :( Hope things are looking up now. Email me when you get a chance.

Please email me Jen. I want to hear all your rant about your sucky weekend.

That's what friends are here for!

Let it all out, hon! :)

I hope that things are getting better. Sorry to hear that you Thanksgiving was not the best.
