Sandy, that is a good thing you were able to soak it up before it damaged the floor... that happened one time at my parents house, the bathroom floor was completely soak with nasty toilet water....like by an inch... Ohh it was horrible...and the floor got some damage :/
Today after work I have grocery shopping, picking up my laundry, then get home to put grocerys away and fold the laundry and clean the house :? one big long busy day...
Megan that is must be hard to have a bathroom with carpet.

I'm home today with another sick one. Actually we are really blessed that he did not end up in the hospital. His Doc said that if he were just a few notches higher on the thermometer and had he been dehydrated he would have been. He has a pretty severe case of the flu. I was freaking out when his temp registered 103 on MY thermometer but when it registered 103.9 on the one at the doc's office I thought for sure we'd be heading for the hospital!! But nope - they just put him on Relenza and are having us quarantine him in his room until Saturday or until he his fever free for 24 hours. That means no school, for at least the rest of this week. Oh and he is SO cranky when sick. I actually feel for his future wife. We all know that men do not typically make the best patients but THIS is BAD!
I Lysoled everything possible with lysol wipes and am washing loads of laundry today. And then I wait for the next victim. I'm bound to have at least one more before the end of the week.
Blessings,
Garsy

Sandy, I just got a chance to read through the rest of the thread, and I am shocked that someone would say that about her children! Well, nowadays, I'm rarely shocked by anything, but that would have caught me off guard, I mean, 10 children isn't something that happens by accident . . or all at once, kwim?
Today is shaping up to be a rotten day. My son's guidance counselor and his teacher both called me about his arms. They saw the cuts and they are both being really great about it. I've made an appt. with a doctor for Friday and we're going to try to get to the bottom of it, but here's what I've discovered (by reading through his email account and by talking to his teachers and his brothers.):
- He really liked a little girl in his class and she was his "girlfriend".
- He got really attached to her, but she was not so much attached to him and broke off the relationship, even though she expressed several times that she really still wanted to be his friend.
- He did not take it well, and decided that this would be a great way to get her attention.
- He began doing it and then found that he couldn't really stop on his own.
- He is the first elementary school child that either his teacher or his counselor has ever dealt with who has had this issue.
So far, that's all I've got. I've basically been doing a lot of research, although it's a little more difficult to find information for children who do this - it's mostly not seen until they are around 14-16 or so. From what I've found, though, he fits the profile to a "T".
*SIGH* so that's what I've been dealing with today - trying to get laundry done, house cleaned, and deal with my fussy baby, who seems to know that I needed him to play quietly for a moment while I was on the phone with the doctor and decided he DID NOT want to play along! Thank goodness for nap time, because now I can get some things done - like a shower for instance lol!
Nicole, I meant to tell you that the bunny is just about the cutest thing ever! Makes me want to go get one. Maybe when we get into the new place I'll let the kids have one. They've been bugging me about it forever, but we couldn't because our apartment is small enough already! What a cutie!!!

Garsy, I hope your boy feels better soon, that was lucky he didn't have to go to hosptial with high temp like that, I pray that he gets better quickly and hopefully no one else will catch it.
I know how quickly some one else in house does catch it.
Guys are horrible about getting sick! Chandler is such a drama queen when he is sick, no lie.... lol
NicoleM, only few more weeks now then I will be back to normal lol aww it stinks when the last cookie is gone :(
Jenn, I was suprised to hear all this happening to your son at such a young age but we can be suprised by this world..alot of unexpected things happen...kids having kids and so on...ya know... I hope that a Godly person will be able to help your son, through this tough time... I know I have been down bad roads like that myself... and I feel for him, I will keep him in my prayers.

Jenn that just breaks my heart. I hope you can get him the help he needs...and you are the perfect one to help him, not only because you're his mom...but because you've been there!

Kara - we're definitely meeting up! The pizza place sounds like a great idea!
Jenn - I'm so sorry to hear about what is going on with your son. I'm glad that the school is being such a great help, often that can be a hard place to get support from.
Carpet in the bathroom??? I don't think I could handle that. The previous tenants above us used to flood their bathroom a lot and it would come through our ceiling, I would have freaked if there was carpet in there.
A slow day here for us. Akeelah had her last ballet class today, so we got to sit in and watch. My child does not sit still! When I used to teach skating, I always had one annoying kid who would never stay put or listen and always causing distractions. Now it's my daughter! Actually, she's not bad, she's typical 2 yo but the class is for 2-3 year olds and she's the youngest. So compared to the other kids she looks like she's misbehaving. But she did well and she wants to be signed up for it again so we'll do it in the spring.

Jenn- I pray that your son will find help/healing quickly for whatever is going on- good for you for spotting it quickly and being proactive about it
NicoleAus- what is up with you guys down there? Out of control wildfires, 200 beached whales- are ya'll feeling ignored and need a little world attention?  I hope you and hubby can work things out- things are very stressful for me right now too...
Sandy- blech to people who badmouth kids.period. My personal favorite is when they say that kind of **** in front of their kids! Thanks for the pm- I'll get back to that, but I'm so on the edge right now, I'm really close to loosing it.
Donna- still praying for all of you- is Nick doing any better?
NicoleCan- I hope you are enjoying new house/new bunny/no landlord! Phooey to the "obsessed" people
Ryanne- are you looking to adopt the 14 year old speaker from the CPAC conference?
I just got a registered letter from the state about Grace. She also failed her CF screen. On top of everything else today (power outage, 5 year old shoplifting candy, being late to the doctor b/c of power and diapers) and some other things going on right now, this has got me on edge. For one thing, we *just* did a sweat test- they could have tested both then, now we get to redo it, which is not painful except for the 45 minute drive there, then the 1.5 hours there, then the drive home- and that's if all goes well... She's growing, so that gives me a little peace, but she has been congested since three days after birth (but dr says lungs sound clear)- so that's a positive and negative, and we know that I am a carrier, which doesn't help. I also can't find anything about how often false positives come up on this test... Grrr.... Really, I'm done right now. just.done. I know in the grand scheme of things none of this is that horrible, I don't even know anything, but having no friends, no family, and no support- it's enough...

Take your time on the pm. It's ok.
And I'm praying for you.

Praying, Jennifer. That IS a lot. 
Nick is...well, it's not his fault all he hears are lies. He's very hard to deal with right now. Not that Noah's much easier at the moment...just different reasons.
I wish I could sleep for 3 days. I am so tired. I'll be alright though.

Awwwww (((((JennLeigh)))))))) I will continue praying for your son. I hope you're able to find some time for yourself today. Thanks for the nice comment about Beemer. He's very sweet and friendly. Yesterday he was bouncing around in the front entrance. He was sliding all over the place looking so funny! He got tired, found the heat vent and slept by it! That would be neat if you got a bunny for your kids in your new place. When do you move again?
Kara, what an awesome friend! Very sweet of her! Cool about you guys wanting to purchase a pizza place! So cool! I hope you meet a lot of great vendors. It should be fun! I didn't realize you were so close to TO. I thought you were more like 8 hours away. Silly me. I think it would be great if you got to meet Lexie and her family! 
Jen, you'll need a nice break in a few weeks. lol yeah, I should make Lorne buy me a cookie hey? We have leftover butter cream brownies that I will eat instead.
Lexie, that is beyond disgusting that their gross toilet water came through your ceiling.  I'll never understand why anyone would put carpet in a washroom or kitchen. So dirty. Haha that's funny that your kid is the naughty one. I'm kidding of course. I'm 26 and would have a hard time sitting still in a ballet class.  I'm glad she enjoys it and wants to sign up again! That is just so cute!
((((((((Jenniferroom2grow))))))))))))))) I'm sorry that things are stressful for you right now. You're right when you say that in the grand scheme of things it isn't horrible, but this is your situation... it's stressful, it's hard, you don't have the support you need, you need a break... so right now it's hard for you and when things seem to be going wrong it's hard to not seem totally overwhelmed (((hugs)))) I will pray for you guys. By the way, thank you for saying phooey about the "obsessed" people. I am happy you said what I thought. It can be so hard having people judge me when they have no clue what's going on... but this time it was someone who knows our situation and they still joked about it and made an entire group of people start to joke about it and laugh at me. A whole table of people laughed and had no clue I was hurting. So not cool. I actually had to leave the room and later I couldn't help but cry. It's just not fair. I wonder if there are any sensitive and respectful people out there besides my husband.

((Jenn)) praying for you and your son.
Garsy praying for the kids, we just got over colds here, its horrible when the kids are sick!
jennifer- I am sorry things are so hard at the moment and things with Grace. I pray that you can know God's peace, feel His love and that he sends people to help and support you.
Hmm yeah bushfires are considered a non-threat now, so like 3 weeks or something of fires, not good. The whales was sad. There have also been 3 shark attacks in 3 weeks which is hitting the news alot too.
Lots of stuff going down with my church at the moment. Hubby showed his snappy and not nice side a bit last night, I guess 2 whole days of being nice was a little too much to hope for?  My party is this Sat I just hope the things that are going on with church don't affect the night.

Yes, it's just that they all meet here in cyberworld and aren't close enough to hang out with

Is your hubby a CF carrier?
It's hard to say- when I came up positive, they wanted him tested, which he did- no biggie, what are the chances? Then his came back positive so we both had to go do more tests to look at which "kinds" we were carriers for (if he as carrier for type a and me type b, we would still not have an issue)- mine came back with the type, and his came back as not being a carrier (says two labs), so we figured it was a false positive or God's healing- either way, nothing to worry about. While we were waiting, he was seriously contemplating having no children of our own which was a horrible process to go through and in the end we decided to at least have one of our own, then probably adopt, but the message we got after the whole ordeal was- who cares! God is in control and He's going to give us what he wants to give us anyway. It also makes me think of while I was pg with Grace and thinking that something was going on and I just didn't know what. Hubby had convinced me I was just being a nutty woman (in this case, not that he thinks that about everything)- but now...sigh....
Donna- has Brian threatened to cane Noah? Methinks that would get him in line...

Hmm. Well, if he isn't a carrier then no worries, right? Maybe just have him retested? Although the chances of TWO labs being wrong is rather small.

No, Brian's not in shape to even get up to go to the bathroom today. And his recent surgery is the cause of Noah's most recent bratship, I'm thinking. 
Jennifer, I have a friend whose baby had to go through several tests with positives before CF was eliminated...and whatever the problem was was never diagnosed and went away on its own.

Wow, thank you all for your words of encouragement and prayers. My heart breaks for him, and it makes me want to take him out of school and away from the influence of this world and hide him, you know? That really wouldn't help matters, but it might make me feel a little better to think it :)
Jennifer (room2grow) I understand how you feel without support, friends and family close by. Since I was sick for so many years with my disorder, I did not make any new friends and I was not able to keep up with the ones I had, so I feel very alone right now with all that is going on. My family is absolutely no help (except for my sister who is 12 hours away) and the closest of dh's family lives 4 hours away. I'm praying for you and hoping that God sends some support your way. Sounds like so much is going on for you, and I agree that you need a break.
Nicole (Aus) I hope your party goes off without a hitch, and that things resolve themselves before then.
DH has been a little snappy today, also, but I know its just because he is worried about our son. He doesn't know what to do or how to help, and of course now he is questioning every decision he's ever made with him. SIGH, this will get better. . . it has to. After our oldest "coming out" a few years ago, I'm not sure how much more we can take on our plates at the moment, you know?
Garsy, my oldest just turned 16 and he is already 8 inches taller than I am! He will likely be 6' by the end of this year if not taller. DH is 6'3" and I am just 5'2" on a really great posture day lol! It is the strangest thing to be looking up into my son's eyes. I mean, I birthed this child, how did he get so big???

I think about that too! I'm 5'3" and my husband is 5'8". With our ds hitting 5'6" and only being 15 I'm thinking he may pass up his dad before to long. I don't think he'll hit 6 foot tho. What's truly scary is that my 11 year old dd is just a few inches shorter than me and due for a growth spurt any day now!
Good news - ds's fever is coming down. he's at 101 now and it's continuing to drop.
Blessings,
Garsy

I'll pray for him. I hope he rests well so he can feel better. I also pray none of you catch his flu.
