7/22/09 Puking, parties, and people who piss me off

Many of my readers know that Corey, my husband was VERY sick earlier this week. Only a handful of times in almost 13 years and never seen him that sick. Not even the Juicy Juice incident of '99 compared to this. His fever was extremely high, and he was yacking constantly. I didn't think as he sequestered himself upstairs that making myself would in anyway impact him, let's just say, I guessed wrong and leave it at that! I went through 2 cans of OUST and a can of Lysol. The puking was so loud I slept downstairs, and brought Logan down to the love seat to sleep so he wouldn't wonder in to the room and get contaminated. Logan talks in his sleep engaging you, so it was not a fun night. I brought the fan from Lo's room to stymie the sounds of Corey running back and forth to the bathroom. He started texting me early in the morning to go get him BRAT diet foods and Sprite. I had little sleep, and a lot to do. Did I mention the morning I am speaking of was Logan's 5th birthday?

Corey avoided all contact with Logan and I that day. He missed gifts, the playing, everything. This included the dinner at Nicks that HE invited the Johnson's too. It went well, but I think Aaron missed Corey there, and Amber wished I wasn't such a shop talker with Weather Service stuff. I don't work there but am very up to date in the goings on, since I have no life of my own. :-) While at Nicks the owner Shaun gave Logan and I free drinks, and Yo-Mos (Sweetened pita bread fried like doughnut balls rolled in cinnamon and sugar and dipped in a cinnamon roll topping). Soo good. Aaron and Amber helped me put down a table cloth plates and napkins all Themed HP. It wasn't a birthday party the way I usually do it, but Logan had fun with Gabe and Drew.

I felt so bad for Amber as she is VERY preggo right now is a gestational diabetics, so she had to choose between Yo-Mo's or cake. The cake was de-lish, Allen's came through where no one else had HP stuff yet, even Hy-Vee. MY only complaint is the wording was to be yellow, and I am pretty sure that's blue.

At about 4:30 our hairdresser who is Shaun's wife Tabitha (Tabby) arrived. I thought it was so nice of her to show up too for some cake! They are both great people who are great to our family.

We wrapped it all up about 5, filled with so many calories and sugar I don't even want to think about it. But it appears by the tomfoolery that a good time was had by the boys!




We headed home to check on Corey. I noticed out to the northwest there were some dark but
pretty clouds. So we decided to get some pictures.


We got in just in time to get out of one of the 2 gifts Mother Nature had for Logan.

At least the new storm door we added this past weekend didn't shatter as the golf ball and quarter size hail hit it.

After Logan was asleep, Mother Nature gave another gift, a full double rainbow!

Now on to the people who piss me off part of the morning. As stated before I had little sleep, had to do everything thing by myself, and tend to Corey who was still ill the last thing someone would want to do is bring up the new aquatics director at the YMCA. Well Gwen the membership lady called to called and said I hadn't worked there in 2 months so I was going to have to pay full price for my membership. I told her I usually take summers off basically 4 years in a row. I then let loose stating I think their, hire of Alyssa was stupid and greedy. I think she is a horrid slacker and told them I thought they should have asked someone in the department before hiring it. She said, "We did we asked Lynn to sit in on the panel." Another name I didn't want to hear. "Yea, she had been there for far less than a year at that point, and is so jacked up on Prozac everything is beautiful to her!" This went on for 10 minutes, and I finally said I had to go, but added for her benefit that when we leave there, it will not be because of her (Gwen) but the lack of proper leadership and in my opinion harebrained ideas and misappropriation of funds. I will be canceling my membership as soon as Logan is in school and go to 24 hour fitness. It felt good to get it off my chest, I wish it would have been Michael or Kim instead I let loose on instead, oh well.
