Back to normal?

Thanks for posting, Ann. I needed you to get me back on track. Paul finally finished his second to last semester on the 21st. On the 22nd we had Christmas Play practice at Church, then two christmas parties whereby Paul got absoultly wasted and proceeded to throw up all night and the next day which left me with Christmas Program at church with both boys, by myself after coming off weeks of a hellish school schedule and being a single working mom of two young boys and a dog with no christmas presents. So Monday, the 23rd I got all my Christmas shopping done, we finally got to see Santa Claus and were ready for Chritmas Eve when, what seemed like out of nowhere, Paul got this horrible influenza sickness - it was HORRIBLE! He literally had the flu that kills people all day Christmas Day he was down and the 26th and 27th he was motionless. He finally stood up on the 28th and yesterday he actually ate a meal - leaving me, once again, a single working mom of two young boys who's trying to dig out from the mountain of Chritmas presents and also trying to get a wink of sleeping next to a coughing sick big guy in my bed...sigh!! Now John has a touch of his influenza and Paul has bronchitis. OMG GIVE ME A BREAK, PLEASE!!!!! But no, Wilson has been scooting his tail all around the house and has anal sac issues that I had to get taken care of so not only to the Dr. today for John but also to the vet, with both boys since Paul didnt get home from work early enough, to get Wilsons anal sacs drained only 10 days after we did it last week...gross - and a Rx for what is dog metamucil. Double gross. What a crappy month - there I said it. I'm Ok though; "Just Keep Swimming!" THE MENU: Tonight - Papa Johns Alfredo and Spinach Pizza. Mom ain't cooking. Tomorrow - NYE Party at our house - NO IDEA What we're cooking. Its usually fondue, we will see what happens - I've gotta work tomorrow though so hopefully we figure it out soon ;) Wednesday - Chicken and Dumpling Soup, in the crock pot for six hours - easy and yum. Thursday - Reuben Pizza, yes, the one you sent me on Facebook - looks amazing, sounds amazing! My kids will likely hate it - too bad, they can have honey toast. Friday - Grilled Brats. Have a great week back to normal, Ann! You can do it and I'm cheering you on from the Tundra in MN (it was -17 when I woke up this morning...at 3:15am to a choir of coughing!)
