REFLECTIONS LOFT

Last Wednesday both the boys had their annual physical. Zak is 4′8″ and 88 pounds and Humza is 3′2″ and 31pounds. They both got their vaccination and the doctor gave them a clean bill of health. VERY HEALTHY boys… until about 9:30pm when Humza came to me and said he’s got a tummy ache. And of course I didn’t pay much attention to it because everytime it’s bedtime something is up with him. I told him to go lay down on his tummy and it’ll go away. He came back to me 30 minutes later and said his tummy ache is not going away and his face was flushed and next thing you know he threw up. Then 15 minutes later he ran up to the bathroom and did again, and again, and again… until he was dry heaving at 2am and that went on until 8am. I never saw him so helpless and weak from vomitting and I couldn’t do anything to help him except rub his back and be next to him. He got so thirsty after awhile, but even a sip of water will make him vomit. Then diarrhea started, but that wasn’t as bad as the vomiting. I did not get any sleep at all. Saturday, he was getting so much better. I commend Humza for the fact that as weak as he was, he made sure he is in front of the toilet before he lets go of his vomit. For a 4 year old – yaay that’s awesome!

Late Friday evening Zak tells me he doesn’t feel well and he feels very weak… later he threw up and a new cycle begins again. And I joined Zak with his pain because I started having heartburn/indigestion feeling with a side of headache and then whatever he was going through I did too. Fortunately, both Zak and I didn’t get it as bad as Humza’s with the dry heaves but, we were very achy and weak and we did have our turn of vomiting and diarrhea and were in bed for 2 straight days. It took us until Monday to start feeling better.

Oh and my husband went to a business dinner on Saturday night, which was fine. Then he calls me and tells me at past 10:30pm that he was going to go see a friend of his for a couple of drinks. I was dumbfounded when he was telling me, but promised that he’ll be quick. So I said “ok” (thinking in my head “Dude you better be home in 90 minutes or just change your mind now). Here comes midnight – No Nasir – 1′oclock – No Nasir – 2′oclock – No Nasir. The good understanding wife that I am called him at 2:30am and he doesn’t pick up… after the 7th consecutive redial, he finally picked up and as soon as he said “hey Boo” I said “What the f@#$? you said you’ll be quick what time is it now? – thanks for taking care of your sick wife” and hung up on him. I’ve never bee so pissed at him. When he left for the business dinner, I didn’t want to say anything because it’s business – but the couple of drinks with a friend “Dude common sense” sick wife and kids or friend’s party? hmmmm. It should be a NO BRAINER! The whole time he was out, Zak would come to me and I couldn’t tend to him, Humza wants or need something, and I’m blah. I locked myself and Humza in the guestroom that night and for 2 nights that’s where I slept.

Monday, I started to feel better and I tried to stay up, sit up and do something, so I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. Very classy film. Loved everything about the movie. Moon River song is very enchanting! Audrey Hepburn was very glamorous and George Peppard was so dashingly handsome. I wish people these days still dress like back in the 50’s with class and style. I’ve always liked that.

At the end of the day, Nasir apologized (of course I had to bring it up by asking how the engagement was – if I didn’t ask he wouldn’t say anything). Hopefully he learned something and remembers it in the future. I also started a little craft project and I feel better and I haven’t even slept yet.

Now, I am off to get the kids to school and get my nails done – I think I deserve it! Hopefully it’ll be a good experience at the nail salon.
