  • Sick Son + Girl Scout Cookies Equals Dead Battery


    It has been a crazy weekend. My son did good recovering from his biopsy, but came down with a stomach bug. At first, I thought it was a complication from the procedure. He was vomiting. A lot. I called the Pediatric Surgeon on call at the hospital that he had the biopsy done, and he didn’t think it was related. He thought it could be the pain medicine or a stomach bug. My little boy didn’t start getting sick until Thursday evening and the procedure was Tuesday.

    Of course, I had to leave a message for the doctor and he called me back at 4:30AM. I was not happy to be woken up at that time, especially since I had stayed up late waiting for him to call. I was relieved that it wasn’t a complication of the biopsy. I took my son off the pain medicine, but that didn’t help. It was a stomach bug.

    It has been tough on my little boy. He would be really hungry and eat a little bit, then it would come back up. It got to the point that he refused to eat anything. Slowly, with crackers, sprite and sympathy, my little boy started to get better. By Sunday, he was eating and drinking again. So far, no one else in the family shows signs of having caught his stomach bug.

    I also had to deliver Girl Scout cookies to the moms in my daughter’s troop on Saturday. Of course, it snowed Friday night. One of the moms didn’t show up and I haven’t been able to get hold of her. Sunday was Cookie Booth day for our little troop. It actually turned out to be a pleasant experience. We didn’t sell as many as we had hoped, but the girls had a great time.

    I managed to piss my husband off by hogging the computer to play Evony. He really hates the game. He thinks I spend too much time on it. He’s probably right, but I enjoy it. He watched racing all weekend, except for when I had to call him to come get me because the battery in the truck died. At least we received our tax refund money Friday, so we had the $100 it took to buy a new one.

    I have several reviews that I need to get working on this week and I still need to finish the book I am reading. Did I mention how sore I am from moving cases of cookies from place to place? Bayer has become my new best friend. That was my weekend. How was yours?
