My Hellish Week

First let me start off on a high note...Thanksgiving went well. There were 19 of us here and no drama.

And now for the crap...

My mom has been really bad. Since her daycare was closed for turkey day through Sunday we got a real dose of reality. My mom's Alzheimer's has progressed to worse...intolerable. She is shouting and now leaving the house. Not good. It has taken it's toll on all of us. Even with my brother staying the weekend we were still overwhelmed. So my sister and dad went out yesterday looking at live-in facilities for my mother. It looks like it's time.

Next on the agenda. My ex is an ass! I emailed him Sunday regarding school pictures for J-bug. He responded to the email with this...

"Get me the package D. I was going to tell you tomorrow, I'm going to be moving in with GF, GF's sis, GF's daughter and GF's niece. They found a house (to rent) that they really like and pretty much told me I was going with sooo.... I already talked to J-bug about it and she said she was happy about it. J-bug and GF's daughter will share a room. I wanted to find out if we for sure got it before I told you."

Umm. WTF! Here's why I was pissed. He told our daughter five days ago but didn't think I needed to know? So when J-bug got home Monday from school she crawled into bed with me {I worked the night before} and I asked her if she was getting a new room. She said "No." I said are you sure? She said "No. Why did daddy tell you already? He told me not to tell you." WHAT!!! So she went on to tell me how she was going to share her room, blah, blah, blah... So now I am pissed. That fucker told our daughter not to tell me!

Next... So now I am awake and J-bug is sleeping in my bed. I go downstairs. Two hours later I come upstairs and hear her whimpering in my room. I go in abd her face is red, she is hot. I use my Exergen temporal scanner and her temp is 104.4. Crap! I wake her up give her meds, call the doc. Crossing my fingers she doesn't have H1N1. I know the drill...fluids and Motrin. Call if breathing issues or a blue tint around her mouth. Then I call her dad. Me, being nice, decided not to mention the "moving" situation. My concern was our daughter's temp. But he brought it up..."Umm. Did you get my email about the pictures and the other stuff? What do you think?" I told him what I thought. That I told him before. I need to be informed of any changes affecting our daughter. That it was not fair of him to tell our daughter not to tell me something... and I went on and on. He said he didn't want me to get mad. I told him that I saw the move coming. They have been together three years. Moving is going to be a huge adjustment for J-bug. She is going from an only child to a household with two eight year olds...and she will be sharing her room. Oh. And she thinks her daddy is gonna have his own room too.

Getting back to J-bug. So she had a 104.4 temp Monday afternoon with a low of 101. Tues am it was 104.7 and went down to 100, and this morning it was 103.4 but it's now 99 {yay!}. She developed a barking cough yesterday afternoon so I am guessing that she has croup. She gets it every year usually in late November. And a 104 temp not new for her.

So umm. That's been my week from Hell. How was your week?
