woe is the family

so saturday morning i had a drs appointment because i thought maybe i had a sinus infection. after sirus's spewing on friday i thot maybe i would take him instead. but he seemed fine in the morning and although i felt better i went anyway. so apparently all of my simptoms all the way to the point of how my teeth ache and how i was planning on talkng to the dentist about it at my up coming appointment made my dr beleive that maybe i need some antibiotics. interesting to me though is that i have fluid build up in my right ear and maybe even some scar tissue she said. yes, the ear that i can't really hear out of, the ear that plugs up at mile 3 of any cold-ish weather run, the ear that when i had the vertigo back in the early days of seamus's pregnancy the doctor then said maybe i should get that checked out, but yeah, i didn't. so yeah, maybe i might now. probably not.
but i got me some antibiotics then went home. then it started to snow. big huge flakes! then it was time to take seamus to a preschool friend's birthday party and sit in traffic for an hour and park miles away and slop through the slush, but she had fun and i got a migraine.
we came home and had some dinner. my head hurt so much that when i took seamus to bed she wanted to sleep in the lid of a giant under the bed storage box, so i let her. i went to bed at 8. seamus was apparently still in the box when eric checked on her at 10. he moved her onto her bed. i was passed out until i was so rudely awoken by eric puking. first thought - was it the stubby beer he had with dinner or maybe the margarhita he was drinking when i went to bed? 2nd thot since i felt terrible was that it was food poisoning. he was up for most of the night puking. nice. i got out of be at almost 8 in the morning. seamus was up but sirus was still asleep. i went in to check on him and he had thrown up all over. poor little guy, why didn't he let us know? i tossed him in the tub and cleaned up his room. i had a super model gig to go to but i canceled because with the total male population throwing up all over the house, there was no way i would leave eric alone with 2 kids like that. so instead, we called the doctor, the same one i went to see the day before and told her about sirus. stomach virus that has been going around was the diagnosis. poor little guy was miserable. he and eric just layed on the couch which was missing some cushions since they are at the dry cleaners costing $160 t be cleaned after friday's throw up fest. at least it wasn't the carpet!!
seamus and i, on the other hand, jumped into the car to go to bellevue square which for some reason she kept calling barbie square. we had a lot of fun. we shopped and shopped and shopped. she was hilarious. at nordstrom i tried on a crazy sequin betsy johnson dress. seamus was having fun with the mirrors in the dressing room but stopped long enough to tell me i looked like a rock star. then, there are two tall pillars that are probably 18inches apart and they both have mirrors on all four sides. seamus was playing inbetween them checking her self out and noticing that there were infinity of her in there. at one point she hopped out and said "mom!! there are a bunch of seamus's in there!!" it was the funniest thing i think i have ever heard her say. after we looked at all of the seamus's, we went and had lunch at the cheesecake factory. we split a plate of sliders which are little hamburgers which i now love after having them in new york. seamus thought they were pretty neat because they were just her size.
we got in the car to come home but seamus wasn't done shopping yet. she said she wanted to go to uvillage, so we went. she was losing interest pretty quickly even though she said she didnt want to go home yet.
at home, poor eric and sirus. they were exactly where we left them, all sprawled out on the couch, only now there were waterproof matress pads all over the couch and on the floor by it and the affectionatly named puke bowl. sirus did seem better by the time he went to bed, but yesterday he seemed totally fine. lets hope that he is all better now and that eric has a speedy recovery as well. oh and yeah, that no one else gets it! yikes!
