Jan 19?

Well I think the day was the 19th anyway, not too sure now that I think about it though.  I just had to write about this day, because in a month or so I want to look back and be able to laugh about it.  Let me tell you the preceding circumstances.
Tues: New Beginnings with Brooklyn, we took Carson with cause he was feeling a bit sick and cranky, the other kids stayed with Connie.  I can't believe Brooklyn will be in YW's this year. WOW!  We get home and the power is off in a quarter of the house, we flip breakers and everything and nothing is working.  Chas is leaving Thurs to go out of town till Tues for his Grandma's funeral in CO.  He comes to bed late and can't figure it out, plus got shocked trying to figure it out.  Not HAPPY!
Wed:  Take the cat in to get spayed. Call Bro. Rogers to see if he can come and help figure out the electrical as Chas is leaving in the AM. Comes over can't figure it out.  Chas has to go and do his tutoring for a guy in our ward, then comes back around 8, and thankfully Bro. Rogers comes back out and they get it all figured out and working by about 9, they give Carson a blessing and I go to bed.
Thurs:  Chas doesn't leave until about 7, he had to work until 6, comes home for a few minutes and then says goodbye. Pick up the cat from the vet and they tell us she has to stay in for 7 days, seriously??? kiliing me here!  Sorry no cats in this house, so we go and buy a little carrier thing.
Fri: I am thinking I am going to get so much done, (I need to stop thinking that way, cause everytime I do something happens, like the post I wrote the day Carson was born HAHA!!) I think Heavenly Father just laughs when I write my to do list in my head, maybe it's His way of saying, "Hey those things aren't that important to get done." I don't know.... Anyway the kids are off school, so I start by trying to get the laundry room/ garage cleaned out. The kids have a pretty easy day, with no chores so the house is a wreck.  Connie and Verl bring over pizza and we watch a movie, Carson is really fussy, finally goes to sleep around 9.
Sat: Carson is up multiple times in the night, hasn't kept much down since Wed.  Wakes up at 4 and throws up all over the bed in his room where we were sleeping. Take all the sheets off clean him up at try to go back to sleep, ya right! He finally sleeps for about 30 min. about 5:30.  I feed him again at 6:30 and lay him down at 7, I change into my shorts thinking I really an adrenaline rush to get through the day and am going to exercise, I take one bite of breakfast and Brooklyn yells "Mom! Carson threw up all over your bed!"  All over the sheets, blankets, everything.  At this point I am trying to remember the last wet diaper he had, and how he is not keeping anything down, figure I should call my friend Donna who is a nurse and come and check him out.  We decide I should take him to the Urgent Care clinic, which the main one is closed this Sat.!! Bummer.  I go out to the car to leave and the battery is dead, I get the truck to jump the car and can't get it close enough.  Donna comes back in her car, we finally get it started! So I take him to this tiny clinic and after him fussing for 30 min  I finally get in for her to say I am sending you up to the ER.  We get to the ER, which was exceptionally quick and they test him for all kinds of things.  They give him an anti- nausea pill  in hope that he can start to keep stuff down.  They try to give him an IV, but he too dehydrated and after 5 tries they decide to try later.  That was a loonnng hour!  Donna comes up and brings me some lunch and stays with Carson so I can try and make arrangements for the other kids because they are admitting Carson. I come home get some clothes and stuff for the hospital, pack the other kids bags and are ready to leave when I notice the sink in the kitchen will not drain and just drained into the dishwasher, GROSS!!!!  As a last resort I put in the toilet plunger in the sink ( I know GROSS) and it works.  Whatever!  When it rains it pours, as my Dad would say! Anyway finally get everything taken care of and get back to the hospital......what a day!
