Okay, so yet another one. This has to go in a bullet list. My time finally calms down and starts to get back to normal and then...
*Brando got his promotion Monday. Whoo!! The awesome bright spot in my week, other than ending results on most other things!
*Shawner's good friend's dog ate a poisonous root Monday and has been up in the air whether he would recover until today and they are pretty sure he will be okay, but still have to monitor him for a month
*Shawners threw up Monday night and stayed home Tuesday when I was supposed to go on a walk with said friend's Mom, but she had cancelled because of the situation with the dog any way which worked out
*Justinbustin informed me after Shawners had been home all day but not thrown up again and felt fine except for a little tired thank goodness that Justinbustin had two weird lumps between his neck and shoulder
*I immediately ran him to the doctor at urgent care as they were in an odd spot. The doctor tells me, "Quite honestly, I don't know what they are. I would follow up with your general practitioner and see if they can do an ultrasound to determine what they are."
*Today, I get Justinbustin in to our (awesome) regular doctor at 10:45am and she tells me (after confirming with the head doctor) it is swollen lymph nodes as a result of infections he had in bug bites near that area that he wouldn't leave alone and they may take up to two months to go back down. Thank goodness they knew what it was because I was starting to freak out.
*After I drop Justinbustin back off at school I head to Starb*cks to get Shawner's teacher an Easter gift. She had given me an Easter gift today for the volunteering I do each week and I hadn't thought to give her one til' then. As I walk into Starbucks I check my email and have an email from her saying she is moving to Seattle with her husband's transfer NEXT week. So I walk into Starbucks and buy an Easter gift and a goodbye gift trying to hold back tears for this amazing teacher he has that he will not have after next week.
*When I pick up Shawners, his good friend's Mom gets a text from another Mom that says everybody in the class cried when the teacher told him. The first thing Shawners says when he gets in the car is his teacher is leaving and everybody cried. Some kids sobbed. One girl went through a box of Kleenex. He says he, his good friend, and two other kids are the only ones that didn't cry. And him, only because he keeps his feelings on the inside, and he would be embarrassed. He said he wanted to cry, but wasn't going to.
*He said they had three options for long-term substitutes that had all come at one point or another, and the one they are getting has a dog that rolls up in the carpet to sleep and snores. He also said she did look goth because she had black eyeliner (thought it was funny he noticed that and pointed it out).
*When he told me about the kids sobbing, I couldn't hold my tears anymore and came home and cried it out myself, just letting myself feel sad to get it out.
*I get home and get an email saying the high school ministry at our church is being transferred over to the middle school head leader, which is mixed feelings. He was GREAT with my nephews, but so far it's been an interesting ride with Justinbustin. I have confidence it will work out for the best, but still it's interesting to know that when he gets out of middle school he will still be working with this guy in youth group.
*This evening Brando will be working late, so I will be doing the kid runs by myself. This will be interesting!
*Anything else, week?
*I am so grateful, at least, that they have all had good endings. Just a lot to process!!
