The last few days have been.....

I guess the word to describe the last couple of days has been... interesting. I could use alot of different words, but that one word sums it up!
Thursday night, I got the joy of taking Big Al to the ER, yet again! After talking to the pediatrician, it was highly advised to take him into the ER... and you are probably wondering "WHY?"... well... if your child had pee the color of purple grape juice, you'd be a bit concerned as well! Arghhhh! To sum up the four hour ER experience, it took the threat of pumping his stomach to get the necessary answer out of what caused the purple pee... that would be large quantities of CRAYONS. Lovely - another $800 for a visit to the ER... No real pain for him - but with his other issues, anytime we get something weird like that - it usually is an ER visit - since it is always conveniently happening after the dr's usual business hours! Another ARGH!
Friday - the boys have early release days at school, so they are home a bit earlier - which has its pro's and cons! Miss O does NOT get early release days - so she rides the bus home on those days. Of course, both boys had Valentines Parties at school... I think that they both gorged themselves on all the candy they could eat on the way home... as they are smart enough to know that I always take it from them when they get home and dole it out over a few days!
The hubby was nice enough to bring me flowers - something he rarely buys me... a nice Valentines present!
Today - The Hubby was in charge of Valentines for the kids - he did good as usual! I got a heart-shaped box of candy... which was nice! Call me petty - but I am REALLY choosy when it comes to candy - and these will probably get eaten by the kids!
Little J had a birthday party to go to at the pool... and there must be something in the water - because after each party he feels sick! I secretly think that he is drinking the pool water - enough to upset his stomach, that and all the candy from the last two days, cupcakes and probably an extreme overkill of sugar......Oh well - no one asked me - I'm the Mom! haha!
We'll see what tomorrow brings!

Happy Valentines Day!
