Will We Get it All Done?

I don't think we're going to have everything in ready before we leave. Okay, I hope we will. This week has been so stressful on all of us. Monday night I don't think I did too much. I was exhausted and it was Lee's birthday but he had to work. It was very low key this year. Tuesday night I was Jana's "plus one" and went to her work Christmas party at a very nice upscale restaurant in Pensacola named Jackson's. Great name by the way. We had a great time. Audrey had me cracking up the entire time and we sat with the rest of the crazy ladies. It was really nice. I even got to wear my first ever cocktail type dress. It was fun getting all dressed up and knowing that we both looked good.

Needless to say the next morning I could barely move. I didn't even have a drop of liquor but I felt like I had a hang over. I guess that's what happens when you come in at 12:30 when you're use to going to bed wayyyy before then. Lee started his vacation Tuesday and has been home all week. I can't say he's been relaxing too much. He's been trying to get everything together around the house. On Wednesday Jason came over and helped him put up the trampoline. That took all day long. I came home Wednesday night and was in bed by 8. We all woke up late Thursday morning. It was 7:45 and I was in a dead sleep. I sang happy birthday to Jackson but he didn't seem to really know what was going on. He just kept smiling.

I kept telling Candy that I thought he was getting sick. He had been crying all the way to Destin since Tuesday morning. Wednesday night when I picked him up she said he looked sick in his eyes. I got a phone call yesterday that Jackson had thrown up everywhere at Candy's house. I picked him up at 4 and bless his heart. He was back asleep on the couch. I got him up and we headed home. He ended up throwing up 3 times in the car. He looked so pitiful. He had a fever too. My poor baby. He went back to sleep once we got home and he got up around 7 or so. We ate something and then we all ended up in bed around 8 or so. Jackson went to sleep with me and then I heard him crying at 3:15 this morning. I just knew he was about to throw up. Yup. He did and right into my mouth. Yeah, some of it went in. It was disgusting I just spit it out and had to keep going because my baby needed me. It was awful though because Lee had just washed the sheets and pillow cases and comforter. He got it all over the pillow and the sheets.

I changed shirts and went in the den with him. I gave him some Tylenol and he had some coke. Then he decided to throw up again all over me. Yeah, it was so freaking nasty. Lee took him from me and then I went and showered off. I got up this morning and went into work and was hoping to go home as soon as I got my closing packages. Yeah, it's 2:02 and I still don't have them. It sucks. My Jackson needs me and I'm stuck here in Destin.

I went and picked up Mackenzie a computer chair for her room and plates, etc. for Jackson's birthday party that we have since canceled. I still have a bunch to wrap. I need to clean our bathroom, clean the kitchen (majorly) and the den. Lee cleaned out Mackenzie's room and painted her furniture. It's not the greatest job but it will do until we get new furniture in her room and it's better than what it was before. I still have to go to Home Depot for Macie's gift card, ship off our laptop for repairs, ship out the computer & printer we sold on ebay, order Mackenzie's keyboard online, put together her computer chair, help Lee finish the trampoline, ship off Brad and Bobbi's gifts (yeah, I feel so bad that I haven't done that yet, I am a very bad person and they've been sitting in my office for 2 weeks now and I finally finished them on Monday and still haven't shipped them. Bad Rebekah). I also need to help Lee finish the laundry, organize the kitchen cabinets and hmmm... I'm sure there are some more things I need to do before we leave. It's just so much. I'm sort of glad that we're not having Jackson's birthday party tomorrow in Montgomery because we'll have an extra day but I hate that he's sick. I just hate it for him.

Mackenzie had a great time with my parents at Beauty and the Beast. She loved it and it is such a great present for her. She also went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. Apparently they treated her very well and she had a good time. She's such a sweet little girl. I miss her like crazy. I can't wait to see her big smile and give her a big kiss! She's my angel, she is what helped ground me. If it wasn't for her I have no idea what direction my life might have taken. I know it wasn't the best circumstances to bring her into the world, but I can tell you she couldn't have more people to love her and support her if I had been married when I had her. She is so deeply loved and taken care of. She is one lucky girl!

So my week has been crazy! Next week I am sure will be just as crazy! I'm ready to get it all over with. Sometimes it's more stress than it's worth.
