One of Those Days

I’m so exhausted right now. I know I’ve said ‘I’m exhausted’ before, but I think those times were an understatement compared to how I feel at the moment.

I haven’t felt “well” since Sunday night. My stomach constantly bothers me, yet nothing intestinal is wrong with me. I just feel…weird. Like, a strange pain right under my chest. I almost thought I was having a heart attack last night, no joke.

I’ve also been waking up at strange hours and not being able to fall back to sleep. Two nights ago I woke up at 2:30pm, probably because that’s around the time Mario came to the bedroom, and didn’t fall back to sleep till almost 4. Last night (or early morning) I woke up at 4 and stayed up until 4:30. Alaethia doesn’t even wake me up till 5:30 or 6 so it’s annoying that I’m waking up on my own instead of resting!

I had every intention of falling back to sleep this morning after the boys left to school and Mario left to work, but I was starving and had some cereal and didn’t want to go back to sleep. I feel…well, like a fatass, and I have my dress fitting for Noelia’s wedding this Saturday. LOVELY. So, going back to sleep after a full stomach isn’t really such a good idea.

Then, the stupid cable guy called and said he was coming over so I wouldn’t have been able to fall asleep any way.

I had to make an appointment for the boys with their doctor, but they were full so they told me to go in as a walk-in. Stupidly, I said okay. I didn’t have much choice, seeing as how Eenan was complaining of chest pain. After all the bronchial and pnuemonial problems he’s had I always mind what he tells me. Jaylen was also up for his 5 year physical (and vaccines) and I was also hoping to squeeze Alaethia in for her ear piercing. I figured I’d do it there even though the boys’ doctor isn’t her primary since they numb the ears before doing the procedure.

Anyway, I’m rambling. I showered while Alaethia was sleeping, then bathed her when she woke up. Mom got home from her doctor’s appointment and gave me her latest health news: she’s got early signs of osteoperosis. They’re going to do further tests to make sure.

She stayed with Aly while I picked up Jaylen. We went over to the library to sign Eenan’s Millionaire’s Club field trip permission slip since he, as usual, forgot to bring it to me since over a week ago. I don’t know what I’m going to do with that boy and his forgetfulness. That, and he’s very disorganized (you should see his backpack!).

After Eenan got out of school, John, the kiddos and I got into the car and left. This was around 4:15. We were at the doctor’s office by 5 something. We were still at the doctor’s at 6. One of the nurses noticed we’d been there forever, probably dying of thirst as we were, and offered us drinks. Sprites for John and I, Hi-C’s for the boys. The sugar in the drink didn’t help the boys one bit. They were becoming stir-crazy and started acting up; Eenan more than Jaylen. Then later, after Jaylen got his physical done he started acting up. My boy will most likely be wearing glasses now and we found out today he has an irregular heartbeat. Not a heart murmur, but we’re going with a Cardiologist just to be sure.

Eenan’s chest pain is probably due to a dry cough he’s had, so he got prescribed medicine for that. Alaethia didn’t even get her ears pierced because they’re not doing that till summer vacation. Lovely.

So around 8pm we’re finally leaving, when the office closes at 7. AND I thought I forgot Jaylen’s immunization card so we have to go back tomorrow. I have to take him out of school early and everything. When we went to Walgreens to drop off the prescriptions I found the darn thing in my purse. I guess it was a good thing, even though I’m going to have to drive all the way the hell over there again, since I was so stressed and wouldn’t have been in the mood to hear Jaylen screaming tonight. He was already crying over a video game he wanted. As annoyed as I was, I thought it was really cute that he was giving me his $2 he’d been saving and asked me to “put in the rest” for the Zelda game LOL.

We had to wait an hour for the prescriptions, so we got a pizza from Little Caesar’s and drinks from Stripes and ate in the truck. Alaethia started fussing (only time) so we got down to get the prescriptions. Jaylen’s wasn’t available and Eenan’s freaking cough medicine cost $20. Bastards! (I just noticed on the receipt that it said “Your insurance saved you $73.41!” So basically the stupid cough medicine costs almost $100!)

So yeah, that was my day. I was highly annoyed, but feel much better now that Mario’s home and we had a nice long, lovey-dovey chat. I shall go cuddle with him now :).
