Nervous Wreck!!

OK I am on the verge of something. I'm not sure what. ET woke up at 3 somethingish this morning crying for his momma. Torry hollered to me which I had already heard him. I thought maybe he was talking in his sleep again which he does often. Well, it continued. He come in my room devistated and very hot. I got a cold washrag and put on his back. He continued to cry and squirm. He and I didn't get a lick of sleep. So about 4:30 I got up and gave his some children's tylenol and texted Shane. He didn't go to sleep from wiggling and squirming and whining holding my hand the whole time and wollering me until almost 6. The alarm goes off at 6:15. So, I get up and shower and of course he is knocked out. Well, Torry has been coughing too. When I got through showering I woke both boys up and got them moving. I wanted to see what ET's reaction was to waking. He seemed fine and he got dressed in a heart beat. I felt I needed to go to work. In a matter of a week two girls got let go because of them being late or no call no show a matter of times. We are very short of help. So, I didn't want to push buttons if ya know what I mean. So I sent my sick kid off to school with tylenol. I felt like a horrible mother. Well, I told the teacher that ET wasn't feeling well and to call if she needed me. He must have been fine cause they never called and he got in trouble today for sticking his tongue out at the teacher. Goodness... he must have been just fine later.

Then, I go to pick Torry up and he is hysterically crying saying his back and stomach hurt and says he can't hardly breathe. I try to calm him down. I had to almost literally carry him to car. I mean it was drama to the 100th power. We got in car and he was very upset about leaving his math book at school, then was upset who was gonna be the assistant coach at basketball and didn't want to have to run. We got home and he fed the dog fine, got his other homework out and was fine. Then the drama to the 100th power started again sitting at the kitchen table. I tried asking him what was bothering him, what hurt, where, how, when ...etc.... He didn't know. He calmed down and I thought I would ask him to take out the trash while I fixed him and ET grilled cheese. OH MY..... Drama to the 11oth power. I mean bad. Once he began to eat his grilled cheese, he calmed and was literally falling asleep. I have no clue. I gave him some Children's tylenol, and he went to his bed. More drama once in bed. He demanded a drink.. and hollering he hurt... hollering he needed CPR. It was funny, but I was that nervous wreck by then. ET didn't know what to do. He was quiet as a church mouse. Then ET found out Bro. Ken was coming and he was so excited. Torry fell asleep before Bro. Ken come. Didn't wake up and hasn't woke and it 8:24. Wow, that's all. It seems like midnight. With not much sleep last night and drama tonight. Nothing bad, but my husband called Bro. Ken from down east (hunting) and I rushed around here through drama and dusted and put away newspaper, looked through all of Torry's take home Tuesday papers, made my bed, loaded my dishwasher. Oh my company could not see my house with all the lived in look that it had tonight. Wow, I did some moving in between outburts from Torry's bed. Wow!! My husband is eating at Wendy's with the guys right now and knows only a smidget of the drama. I need a vacation too.

I need to pack too. I've never packed for four. Wow, this should be interesting also. We've never went on a trip with both boys. And no, this is not my vacation. I'll need one after all this. Lord, you know how much one girl can handle!!!

Oh MY! I am ever so sorry for the drama driving you crazy...I so know what you mean and I am totally sympathetic! I hope the boys get better soon! If you need me to keep any of them for you while Shane's gone, just let me know! So that is what you meant by the people being gone this morning. I didn't quite catch it. Who was let go?

You did not have to rush around and clean on top of everything else! We wouldn't have even noticed.
Hope Torry is better today and hope you got some much needed rest.
Love Ya!

Awww, I'm sorry. Things always fall apart at my house when Mike goes away. It has happened so many times that now I just brace myself and expect something to break down or someone to get sick. Oh, well! It's a good thing that God is with me when Mike isn't because I would go nutty!

When is Bro. Shane coming back? If you want to get together some evening let me know. I don't mind to help out at all.

Sis Teresa- I was in the bed by 9 and we all slept all night. Thank the Lord. Oh yes I did have to clean up. It had the lived in look.

Sis Kelly- Shane is coming home tonight. Thank the Lord. I feel much more at ease and comfortable with him here. We're leaving for Indiana tomorrow evening after I get off work
