Sigh...
This has been quite the weekend. Fortunately, the kids seemed to have run their course of the H1N1 in about 72 hours each. However, Cam has us a bit worried. He now has several significant and unexplained bruises. He also had what was likely a bloody nose. Of course he could have just managed to aspirate enough of the dust from his red temporary spray-on hair dye that he just appeared to have a bloody nose. Regardless, for fear of the worst (and as a measure of prudence) he is scheduled for a Dr's appointment. Mom has clotting issues stemming from an over active immune system, which falls right in line with what we have learned about the most common cause of acute onset excessive bruising issues in pediatrics.
And that was just the weekend. Today brought a total of three exams (my two were mid-terms), an essay for British Lit, two work schedules , five people each with different school schedules, and oh yeah... no transportation. I managed to make it to the school this morning, but while I was supposed to be taking my first mid-term SOMEBODY kept calling and texting incessantly. I finally responded around the time the kids were supposed to start class only to find out that a very ambitious furry critter with particularly shape teeth turn my wife's engine into an immobile over grown nest. (The perfect "motor-home?") Anyway, after lamenting our luck and whining for what seemed like an appropriate length of time I jumped into my truck to save the day, and promptly broke my truck. Yay! Way to go hero. So, now I'm stranded at school, and the wife and kids are stranded at home. Despite all the odds, or perhaps because of the odds, the famous line from the gay announcer guy on Project Runway came to mind, "Make it work..."
