Well, last week was mine! It could have been a whole lot worse, but by the end of it I was sure I was going to lose my sanity.
Brian left for the wilderness of Ontario (well out of cell phone range) the last Thursday of May. I thought that I would have a relaxing week with Baby-Boo, maybe attend my usual round of garage sales, get together with some friends or visit Brian's mom. Well, the weekend started off great with the greatest barn sale I had ever yet attended! I got loads of great stuff for my booth! Turns out these people go down south to Indiana ever month, bring old stuff up here and sell it cheap, but at a profit to them. Their sales are so huge people line up before the opening time just waiting to get in!
That was the good part of the week. It went downhill from there.
Saturday night, I went to visit Ryan and Danielle. (Things were still fun at this point!) We were having a cookout, and Derek fell and hit his head on their patio. He appeared unhurt, but a bit frightened and needed comforting. (This incident would have been entirely forgotten about by now, except for what occured later on Sunday.)
On Sunday, I thought that Derek seemed more tired and cranky than usual. We didn't do much. All of a sudden, at 10 p.m., Derek started vomiting. He vomitted all night, every twenty minutes or so. By 1 a.m., I was frantic and called the hospital. They asked me, "Has he hit his head in the past three days?" I said, "Yes, he has." They told me that his illness might be due to head trauma and to take him to the emergency room! So at 2 a.m. I was in the emergency room with baby Derek.
No head trauma, just a nasty virus! No sleep for mommy! I called in reinforcements and had Brian's mother visit the following day so I could take a nap.
Then, on Wednesday, guess who got the virus? Mommy! I was so sick, I could hardly move. It was terrible. And Wednesday was supposed to be the opening day of my antique booth. I couldn't get my furniture in there at all, and barely got two boxes of smalls unpacked.
Then Grandma got the virus!
Everybody was sick!
We eventually got over it, but it was a loooong week!
Brian has now returned, and things are getting back to normal, but I was offline for that whole week. Sorry if I missed anything important!
I finally have the booth set up so that it looks okay, but not perfect. The three big-ticket pieces of furniture are not there (we don't have a truck, so can't transport them right now) and the best piece of furniture, a beautiful primitive china cabinet, was damaged last night during a storm, and now needs Brian to fix it in his spare time before it can be sold.
