I. have. had. it.
I'm moving to Australia.

I went to bed with hubby in my arms, now hubby's lying on my hair...
You know the drill.

Anyway, so I roust the crew, who hasn't been out of bed before noon all week, out at 6. Big kids have dr. appointments.

I go to work, get the library all opened. (BTW, did I mention making coffee for the coffee shop has ben added to my list of duties this week? I fraggin hate coffee!)

We go to the doctor. Hubby gets lost and we're a little late for one appointment. On the way, i check my planner. I have, of course, scheduled MY physical on the same day at the same time that my Jonner goes in for his semi-annual ear check. Fuckses, precious.

I get called to the desk (hubby has gone to the bathroom, and apparently fallen in). The appointment was last Friday. At 8:20 and 8:40. I wish i was in Australia.

I think I had a nervous break-down on the receptionist's counter. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry, so I sorta did both. She took pity and they worked us in. (the schedule was light)

Oldest daughter is in the 130% percentile for her height. She is 5'5" and weighs 102. Obi is dead average for an 8 year old.

She's showing a bit of scoliosis, but what scared me were the words Marfan's Syndrome.

So she's got a genetics appointment, as does Obi for Levy-Roussay.

We called the doctor when we got home to make an appointment for my ears.
He leaves the office at noon, and it was 12:10.

Then the storm moved in so i had to move the kids' party to the house.
We had some fun. River Rat was a hit (sort of musical chairs, the person caught in the river[throw rug] is out).

Last night, I went to Wal-Mart to get party stuff. A basket full of stuff and my card won't swipe. Turns out if you dispute a charge, the bank cancels your debit card. Naturally, i didn't have my checkbook.

Now I have 7 kids playing boardgames (including Escape the Death Star) while Popeye cartoons run in the background.

The worst is, i can't go to bed and read slash until i feel better.
I have to stay up another hour or two until they start to drop.

It has been a terrible horrible no good very bad week.
Some weeks are like that. Even in Australia.

Awwww. You poor thing, it sounds like this week chewed you up and spat you out sideways. {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Oh, and about Marfan... If you google for "marfan syndrome" the fifth hit is a truly excellent personal site by a wonderful friend of mine.

Thanks. The site is very helpful.
It's not confirmed, but I'm really hoping she doesn't have it.

Especially knowing you're having a rough week yourself.

I'm so sorry to hear about this horrible no-good day! Gah! And *hugs* for you and the little ones. It's so much harder when it's your children who have the troubles hanging over their heads. Hope you get those things resolved soon.

Dang. Wish I had some new slash to send to you.

It will work itself out. Neither Marfan's nor Levy-Roussay is a crisis-level disorder. Just something to monitor and watch.

And I've been busily enjoying the Sentinel slash. Watching the episodes has been a delight. "You must learn to listen to your heart," says a man who claims to be an angel (after Blair has just stomped out on Jim) "but first, you must listen to others' hearts." (and he nods the way Blair went.)
