- The last few days -

well, let's see what have i been doing?

`

brit came home from school last wednesday, not feeling well & guess what?...she's still home sick! - i took her to the dr yesterday & they said she could go back thursday if she felt like it as she's got strep! - ahniér's been sick since thursday as well, but she's all congested VERY bad - i took her in yesterday too, but it was a wasted trip as they said to give her saline regularly [I AM], suck her nose our religiously [I AM] & give her motrin for fever as needed [I AM] - gosh, guess i'm good enough to be a dr, right? - ruby & kiara's complained a time or 2 about a tummy ache, but nothing's progressed so praying it keeps its distance - last night i began feeling like i was coming down with the same thing brit & ahniér have [scratchy throat, chills, aches, headache, watery eyes, etc.], so praying that doesn't go any further either

`

last night when i was putting the girls down to bed, i noticed ruby's clothes were left in the bathroom - i suggested she put them in the laundry & as she was doing this, i went on to put kiara & karleigh down - as i went back to the bathroom awhile later, i found ruby with a tube of toothpaste, squeezing it into her mouth as fast as she could - she'd already downed about ½ the tube from what i could gather, so i called the pharmacy & was sent on to poison control - poison control said that she'd more than likely either vomit or poop it all up by morning, but to keep her up 1 hour last night & give her lots of milk to drink [which we did] - this morning i went in at 5:45am to get ruby up & ready for school & the smell about knocked me down - she'd pooped her pants & hadn't even woke up!! - she's fine, but was a bit grossed out by the whole mess [literally] as she was being bathed at 6am UGH

`

ruby's started [again] misbehaving in school & has continued this behavior at home as well [OH JOY] - yesterday she came home without her gloves [i'm getting soooo sick of this] & said that they were left at school because JV [her teacher] made her leave them there - i emailed JV & shared the story & when she asked ruby this morning where her gloves were, ruby stated that they were left at home because i wouldn't let her bring them!! - JV later emailed me today & said the gloves were located in the gym [where ruby left them the day before] - about 15 minutes later i got another JV email that stated another teacher [not ruby's] had just come to JV's room with ruby's new CI [she just got a replacement last week] & that ruby had put it down in her classroom & walked off & left it! - JV's at her wits end with this too & asked what to do - i told her to NOT let ruby come home on the bus today & that i was on my way as we'd to get to the end of this junk - on my way, i called spike & asked what he was doing for the next couple hours - he said, "well nothing, but it sounds like you've got plans for me" - he met me at the school & we both had it out with ruby right in front of JV & also had an interpreter that was there as well [keep in mind that ruby's deaf, as if JV, so we wanted to have noooooooo communication problems at all] - there were so many hands flippin', faces frowning, words a flyin', that i was almost duckin'!!! - in the end, i think she got the point that we were all on the same page & none of us are putting up with her nonsense

`

in other news: while in the middle of this big 'visit' at the deaf school with JV today, ruby did fess up about something - she admitted that the 'lost ci' was actually thrown out the bus window that day, by her...geez, she's wearin' me out!

`

now, i wonder what the next few days has in store for me?!?!
