My goodness..... I havent blogged in a week! OMG! Things have been busy, had quite the few days off in the last week. Spending alot of time with my family and friends. Last week, I went up to my nieces house and spent the day by the pool. got a sunburn! The kids had a blast though! We also went to my nephews playoff game, they won that one, but then lost the next, Sorry Bud! You did great though! Thursday, I decided to have a last minute cook out I put up the pool for the kids, T and her kids came over, I called Kr8tivemom and her family to come down for some BBQ. My grill wouldnt work, asked the land lady to borrow hers, she said we could certainly use it, and then we could keep it. You gotta love that! She also gave us an air conditioner. My DH and I decided to starta business. IN which there is NOTHING I can do to help! LOL He will be starting his own PC Repair. He has been doing this stuff for over 15 years. He loves it and he is good at it. Friday I spent the day with Kr8tivemom, we went shopping and I spent WAY to much money, DH fixed her PC, the kids had a blast playing. Saturday I had to work, then we all met up to watch fireworks down the street. Sunday I had to work, came home and relaxed, I was exhausted, I havent been sleeping well at all. MOnday, I spent the day cleaning house! Yesterday, was very quiet, I was outside with the kids alot, and DH had to go to the doctors. After that I went over to my parents and spent some time with them. Its funny how I crave some alone time with them. No matter whats going on in my life, I can share it, and they are always understanding to the situation, and always give me good advice, and NEVER let me quit. I love them lots. :) Today.... dont know. But I do know that I am going to the Karaoke Bar tonight, Tanya, Tiffany, Jenny, Carrie Ann and I are definetly going, Lisa and Glen might go if My sister will babysit, just waiting on another person. The more the merrier. I always smile when around people! :)
I was sitting here eating my dinner last night, thinking of something to do with the kids. So , at the last minute my niece came down from Manchester, David invited his friend to go, and his mom came too! We had a blast, the movie was really good! Its nice to go with a bunch of people, if I missed something, I have plenty of people to ask what the heck happened! We have to do that more often!We came home and went up the street, sat outside with some friends for a little while. It was a nice warm night. I love summer nights! We had quite the sleepover, had to pull the futon matress out and have my neice and her fiance sleep on that, thier son slept in Patricks crib. Patrick was in teh basinett. Scott and David bunked in one room. But, little Christopher slept alone in his bed, because he fell asleep in the middle of the movie. He tried so hard to stay awake! :) Heres to Harry Potter!
Had to get my arse up at 4am to go to work. The day dragged.By the time I got home, I was wiped. Not feeling so hot today. Had to drink regular milk with my carnation instant breakfast this morning cause the refrigerator died yesterday at work. All the lactaid milk was no good. I suffered all day with stomach pains... and many other problems which I am sure I dont have to say! LOL My husband is doing a little better, but, still not tip top shape, so I am still trying to take care of everything, and after working all day... its kinda crappy. I didnt make supper, just warmed up dogs and burgers from the cookout yesterday. This was Davids first day without school, and the child hardly stayed home. He was enjoying playing with the kids in the neighborhood. Hoping to get outside myself tomorrow. Want to take a nice long walk, move my body, feel like I have been stuck in the house taking care of everyone. Hope it is nice out tomorrow. Lisa..... wheres my Chunka Munka!?
Happy Fathers day to all ( that apply) . I went to my parents house, we celebrated fathers day, my sisters birthday which is friday and my birthday which is tomorrow.

I had to work a few hours in between, but it worked out well , I got out early. I have to work tomorrow, but then I have tue, wed, thur and fri off... thank god! Gonna hangout with my kids, get my yard put together. Put the swimming pool up and put all the kids outside toys out there to play with. Thinking about taking a ride to manchester to spend the day at my sisters, and go swimming with the kids. Always a good time when we are all together. Gotta get going, gotta put my b-day gifts together. :)
I was a little nervous about telling my present boss that I may or may not be leaving. For some reason I felt guilty. I do like my job, I know what I have to do, I am comfortable with the people there, and I dont really have anyone breathing down my neck watching what I am doing all day. I must say that I think I am really good at what I do, and 99% of the time, I go home feeling good about it. I kind of put off telling my boss about the job interview most of the day, still wondering in my head if it was a good idea. I didnt want to put that thought in his head, unless I was sure I was going to take the other job. By lunch time, I had decided that I must do the right thing and tell him the situation. I felt I have a loyalty to him and the job, so I went and talked with him. He was happy for me , but, also said he wouldnt be happy to see me leave... although he knows my situation, and understood. He also asked me if I would like him to right me a letter of referance. Thought that was nice. I can say he is the best boss I have ever had. He has his good days and bad days just like everyone else, but at the end of the day, it all equals out. If I do leave, I will really miss the job, the girls, and him as well. I never really felt like I was beneath him, he made me feel as his equal....not many people in his position do that.
I left work, went home, changed for my interview. On the way there, I got rear ended by some little old lady at a stop sign. I got out and checked to see if she was alright. She was crying, saying she was sorry. I thought she was hurt because she was crying, but really, she was crying because she hit me. She told me in all her 62 years of driving has never been in a car accident. Then she asks me if this will make her insurance go up. I sat there thinking to myself.... why would she think that? I had no intentions of making a claim, nobody was hurt, there was no damage, it was just a slight hit to the bumper. Both cars were fine. I told her no, that there was no reason to involve insurance companies and everythign was fine. She was very confused and thought you had to report all accidents, whether or not there was damage or injury. She was scared to leave the "scene" . I told her to go home, and we switched info anyway, told her she wouldnt hear from me, but did this to make her feel better. :) Went to the interview, I was abotu 5 minutes early, the District manager, was 10 minutes late.. I didnt like that. it went well, except those "what if" questions, I dont feel its fair to ask questions like that, when you really have no idea what you will do unless you are in the situation. OH and of course, then he says, " lets role play" I hate that so very much, you make a person feel stupid.........UGH. I got another call on Thursday, asking me to come in for my second interview. Its today at 10:30, I will be meeting with another Manager. If all goes well today, I will be go to the next level.... I have never went through so much for one job! I am going into the shower and get dressed for this one.
Has anyone ever had to take this stuff? Its unbeleiveable.I cannot beleive how it over powers your system. But, then again, they say its just like heroin. Made out of the same stuff.
I can tell you that when people heard my DH had to take it, they all called wanting to buy this stuff! The street market for this stuff is between $20- $40 a PILL! But, heroin, is like 10 a bag the size a matchbox.... Geez.. I have learned alot about drugs today. Useless information, but it scares you to think that people get addicted to this. I am concerned now. Hoping Dh will not be dependant on it.
It was a mess. We got there in time, they took DH in and got him prepared, called me in to sit with him. I sat with him, Dr said the surgery would take abotu an hour, and about an hour or two in recovery, then I could take him home. I rushed to the grocert store, because he would only be able to eat full liquids, ( juice, oatmeal, pudding etc.). I did all that, got home, fed the kids lunch, got the hosue together, Dr called to let me know he was out of surgey and in recovery, I could come and get him around 2-2:30. He also said there were some little complications, but everything is okay, he refused to scare me with any medical terms, which bothered me, but I guess I am better off not knowing. I get the kids together, drove 45 minutes to the hospital for them to tell me, that I would have to wait a few to find out what was going on. They came back and told me he was still sleeping because they gave him oxycontin for the pain. They asked me to wait about an hour. Only, I had a problem, I had to go back to pick up my oldest because he had school. I was angry.... they told me to come at that time, and then DONT call me to tell me not to come right? WTF! SO I went back home, my son was already here because I got stuck in traffic, luckily we went through the drill of what to do if he ever came home and nobody was here. He was alone abotu 10 minutes, which is way to long in my opinion. However, I was very proud, he came in, locked the door, got his snack and drink and sat and did homework. He didnt answer the phone, he didnt leave the house. I came home, and I rang the bell... he didnt come to the door. I rang it, and rang it, and finally I remembered I told him NEVER to answer the door! What a good kid! Used the keys, and he peeked out of his room, and said oh thank god its you I was getting ready to go upstairs to Elaine.LOL Anyway, I wasnt in the house 5 minutes, and the hospital called and asked me to come and get him! WTF! I couldnt go right away cause I had to feed the baby, and I got there after 5, they werent happy, but OH WELL! You made me wait, I make you wait! All the way home, he is talking nonsense, but then again, being drugged up and not eating for 24 hours, will do that to you. I got him in teh house, with all three children..... he says he has to pee. I walked him into the bathroom , and tell him to call me when he is done. He was so HIGH, that I was afraid he woudl fall. After 5 minutes or so, I open the door, and I walk in, he is leanign against the bathroom wall, with his jock in his hand, SLEEPING! ROFLMAO! I said " are you okay" he said IM FINE! LOL I walked him to the bed, he strips down to his boxers, crawls in bed, and before I had the blanket on him , I heard him snoring! I got the kids dinner, and in the tub, in pajamas, and in bed, around 8:30. Got DH up to go the bathroom, give him his meds, walked him out in the living room and onto the couch with the AC. He is now laying there with two hospital ice packs wrapped around his head, looks like he is weraing a pillow, and telling me that his toe nails are way to long, he thinks the doctor should have cut them ! LOL. Earlier, we were driving down 125 on teh way home, and he asked me where we were, he has only driven that street 6 million times. He is so high ! LOL What a day!

It is also legal to sell it at any price and to give free gifts with it, such as anything else one might want to buy on a Sunday! In Israel, there's no legal way for a man named Cohen to marry a divorced woman. Manfred deLisle, a London patent attorney, is offering to file patent claims for the complete genome of any individual who wishes to "preserve his or her commercial options." Several hundred people have signed up for deLisle's services. However, it is anticipated that patent officials will impose extensive documentation demands that will render the scheme impractical.
Another London attorney, A. C. Pomeroy, is working with representatives of several major religions to file patent claims for the genetic substance deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), "on behalf of an unspecified deity." Pomeroy's clients will claim that (a) DNA is a patentable invention and (b) the inventor is unable to file a claim personally and so must have his rights protected by a consortium of interested parties. The parties reportedly have agreed to share any royalties that accrue from the patent, on an equal basis.
But as records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value. - Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
OMG! What a good movie! I was anxious to watch it, and when I did, I saw my old nieghborhood. The movie was shot in Chelsea and East Boston. The store "Jimmy" owned in the movie, is actually on Broadway in Chelsea... was so excited to see it!
Anyway... if you havent had a chance to see it, you should. I was very pleased, not just because of the area... but Sean Penn, actually did a good job, a real good job... he couldnt have done better at the boston accent though.
Our week at a glance. I have tomorrow off, which I will be staying home, and catching up on the hosue stuff, and getting my back yard together. I have yet to set up my stuff. I have to work tuesday, and then go straight to my RJP ( interview /job preperation), I must admit, I am pretty nervous. I hate that whole first day thing. Of course who doesnt. Wednesday, DH has his surgery, he is nervous about that, but cant wait to get it over with. I will be off Wednesday and Thursday to take care of him. And then back to work for the weekend. Also am waiting on my Opt, to call let me know my new glasses are ready. This is the last week of School for David. And I cant wait for summer camp to start, I know he will have a blast. But he is nervous about that too! I guess we are all nervous abotu something. I hate waiting for things to happen, just wish it was all over with already! LOL Had a decent day today at work. It didnt go by as fast as I had hoped, but, its over, and I am just chillin with my family. We took a nice long walk in teh fresh air. It always feels good to go out and walk for a little while. I rather enjoy it when all of us go together. I am gonna go check out some blogs. Hope you all had a nice weekend.... now that its over.
Got my ass up at 4am again this morning, but, luckily ... I only had to work until 10:30, I rushed to cash my check, came home got the kids packed and headed to Revere, for my Brothers Annual Lobster/Clam Bake, which he also makes his sons b-day, I love when people do that, do two things at once, saves alot of time!
We got there around 12:30. Doing the eat everything in sight thing... cause he makes everything from hot dogs to lobster, and all the sides you could think of... most of it is catered, except the grilled items. I just took a but of everything, couldnt decided what I wanted.
Well, anyway.... DH got me a smirnoff to sip down! LOL He took Christopher to the bouncy thing ( you know those huge jumping things you can rent) David was in the pool, and I was sitting holdign the baby. The baby fell asleep so I bent down to put him in his carriage. When I hear my mother say " is that a nice view, see anything interesting?" I look up and she is talking to a friend of my brothers. Apparently he was looking down my shirt. I cant stand this guy, everytie I see him, he is always hangin on me, and being inappropriate. Later he comes near me, rubs the back of my head, and remarks what a sexy neck I have. UGH! I got to get a drink, bend down into the cooler, he brushes up against me. WTF! There are a ton of blonde, big boobed, airheads he can chase, who are single and dont have any children.... but he chases after me! Whats the damn deal? This guy also 3 years ago at my brothers wedding, asked me to dance, and he was drunk, tried dirty dancing with me, when I pulled away he kept grabbing my butt, then my breasts. Again.... my mother came to my rescue. Seems like she is always there when I need her! LOL She watches him like a hawk around me now... she doesnt think he is safe, and neither do I.
Anyway, just got home, other than the pervert, we had a great time, as usual. I dont think I will eat for a week. Had so many wonderful foods! Kids had a blast, the had Elmo and Buzz Lightyear there, the bouncy thing, the pool, and all that food. The kids are worn out! LOL I am just sitting here chillin.... after yesterday.. I needed that. Thinking abotu taking a walk though, work off some of the calories I inhaled today.
Got my ass up at 4 this morning.... wishing it was still midnight! LOL so I could go back to sleep. I get up, Take a quick shower, get dressed, do my hair... then realize that I forgot all the stuff I bought last night in the car with the windows down... UGH! I had several gifts in there a birthday gift, a graduation gift, and a fathers day gift in the back seat, and a new pool for the kids in the trunk, that I was afraid to take out cause I KNEW they would haunt me until I put it up. I rushed out to the car, got the gifts out, starting putting them into gift bags, then I get to the one that needed to be given today, try to put it in the bag... it doesnt FIT! NICE! What the hell... I hate giving gifts that arent wrapped... how rude, but, I had no choice, had to put it in a big plastic bag! This will haunt me for a few days. I creep out the door with my neices fiance sleeping on the couch, praying I dont wake him up, and its already 5:35.... have to be in work in 10 minutes... did 90 all the way there with the radio blasting to keep me awake. Was 5 minutes late, but thankfully everyone else was 10 minutes late.. nobody noticed! I get to my paperwork for my patients who need my direct assitance...... 30! 30 damn people need me to come directly to their rooms to assist them! WTF! I put all info into the computer. Start making all new paperwork for todays assists. Then realize, I forgot my breakfast and lunch at home. NICE! I go up to see my 30 people with only an hour and a half available to do so! I get to 25 of them, the rest had to be put off for the next shift, I couldnt meet with that many people, on four damn floors, in an hour and a half. They can bitch... I dont care. The boss strolls on in at 11am.... how nice of him...asks how the baby is doing, I tell him. I get the feeling he thinks I lied about the incident to get out of work. So, I asked him if he doubts me, he says oh no oh no, of course not. I know you wouldnt do that. I walk away, ANGRY, still knowing he thinks I am lying... of course, that really isnt one of those stories you can possibly make up, I mean I can see if I told him my dog ate my lab coat and badge... but not this. I go back to my desk rifle through my binder... storm into his office... and slap the hospital papers on his desk. He picks them up starts reading them.... and then turns and says... I beleived you , you didnt have to show me these. I said " If you believed me, you wouldnt of even read them all, you would have told me to keep them!" He apologized that I felt that way... OH OK... you are sorry that I feel a certain way? Why do people say shit like that. How abotu I am sorry I MADE you feel that way! Cut to after lunch.... Boss comes back in, starts giving a co-worker some shit... not that she doesnt deserve it, but not in front of everyone in the office. She gets mad, and when he leaves, starts bitching... I tell her to go talk to him ( secretly hoping she yells at him again, and gets fired! LOL) Nobody can stand her including the patients. She comes back with that look of satisfaction on her face. He apologized to her. DAMN. 1-2:30 is taking forever, I take my crossword puzzle out, and cant figure out one damn hint, that screws up the whole damn puzzle... one of the dieticians come over and says... orangutans. I sat there, and said...JERK! The boss comes in, and I ask him if he needs me to stay cause someone called in, he says I cant have you stay, I have to someone that isnt scheduled today, or then I would have to answer to MY BOSS as to why YOU have overtime! I turned to him and said well, you know what then..... Trumped called.... Your FIRED! I left to go home, forgot to cash my paycheck andmake a deposit, went to friends house for a little while for her sons grad party, had to go home, tired as hell, getting a migraine, and couldnt wait to get out of my work clothes. Got home, DH says, good news and bad news... Hospital will put us on payment plan but they want $ down! GREAT! Dont have it! DH figuring out his magical plan to get the money. Got a call from Yum! Brands foods, want to interview me... good. Get me a job that pays more.Sat down started going over bills, getting the budget ready for the next three months. MOm and Dad come over.... tell me my nana isnt doing well. Now, on puter.... venting.. and decided, that God should call me and tell me I am fired. Cause this life isnt workign out very well today! LOL
Not a huge one, just sipping on some smirnoff..... telling jokes, making fun... its great!
My brother called while we where getting ready to watch an old movie.I was tellign everyone today, that Ray Charles died today, and how sad it was.... when all of a sudden, My Niece's Fiance.. says to me " Did he see it coming?" And I had a Blonde moment and said " I dont know.. .. and then I thought about and starting bursting out laughing... then I yelled at him for saying something so cruel about someone who passed. I then said, all government agencies are closed tomorrow to mourn the loss of a Ronald Reagan, and they say.... " Why, he dont know abotu it anyway! Whats the point?" How dare we laugh at such cruelty, but then again, I have been drinking...... LOL. I am a 2 beer queer! Yeah so, I have to work in the AM, gotta get up at 4am ... dont think I am gonna sleep well tonight! I wonder why! Gonna get back to this little get together.....
I am going to share a serious problem we have had around the neighborhood... without giving specifics because its not my business to tell. However, I just want to say, my son got caught in the middle of an adult situation , to no fault of his own. Because he is only 8, I felt I had to step in as a mother. to protect my child from such things, and the repercussions of this matter. I thought about it for some time, and made the decision to intervene. When I did, it seemed to hurt my child even more. Even though I felt worse, I still felt it was important for me to do, and the right thing to do. For weeks my son has suffered, and other children had suffered as well..... again... to no fault of thier own. This was an adult matter, that seemed to be unavoidable to the children. After weeks, of being angry, and hurt for my son. I finally tried to put an end to his hurt, well actually ... everyones hurt. When I went to do so, there were to many "innocent children" around to do what I wanted. But, with help from a friend, we finally settled the situation, and I am hoping from this point on, that we all as adults can try to keep the children out of the adult matters, the things that children shouldnt know, and shouldnt be exposed to, whether it be on purpose , or an accident. The point of my story is... when the children are around..... watch what you do and say, and allow them the chance to do what they are intended to do.... be INNOCENT CHILDREN.
"innocence"
by lotus rose
O, tender child of wide-eyed wonder, With untouched rose not yet torn asunder. You're born flat-chested, small, and hairless, You're innocent, naive, meek, and careless.
And the adult's knowledge for which you yearn, Is something that they forbid you to learn, Allowing you only the childhood cares Of innocent games and teddy bears.
But still the secret garden grows, The lotus, the violet, and the rose, With gentle buds hidden from sight, Lest they be crushed by adults' might.
And at night upon your virgin bed, The lotus dreams run through your head, And beckon you with gentle eyes, To a world of tenderness and sighs.
You grab the teddy, you hold it tight, Your innocent body trembles in fright, And you promise that you will never give in To the adult's world of corruption and sin.
But nestling there in the back of your mind, Is a curiosity, and a pleasure of a kind Like the lotus's all-engulfing rush, As you feel yourself shudder at the rose's first blush.
Ok... so after several people telling me my subject thingy was to small ( I thought so too) I had been trying to fix it, and getting several Java Script Errors... I finally got DH to fix the Java Script issue.
For some reason, it just wont change. I am sure I will figure out why soon enough. It looks good enough for now.
SO I went PRO... got 500 Tbucks, on top of the 200 I already had.... and nothingin the store interested me... had nothing to do with all of it. Kr8tivemom, told me feature my blog. I did what she told me to like a good girl. :lol:
So now, I need some votes. Kick my arse to the top of the list. I am doing pretty good, only been doing this a week, and already #83 on HOT BLOGS. :shock: SO PROUD! :P
I am sitting here listening to some 80's music.... makes me feel good hearing the old stuff. Pat Benetar is on singing HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT! God .... I love that song.
IS it just me, or is it that when you dont have any money, thats when everyone wants it from you! DH got laid off In March, is on unemployment, which is SHIT.... its only 30% of what he was making. Then I had to go on maternity leave, and obviously didnt get paid while I was out.I went back to work, but not getting enough hours. DH has to have surgery, and because he has no insurance ( unemplyment doesnt offer any) they want to be paid in full before the surgery. HELLO! They want us to come up with $1300.00 by next wed. How the hell am I gonna do that? What happened to taking care of a patient first, then worrying about how it woudl be paid. They refuse to offer payment plans, and I think that really SUCKS.
Even if you do have insurance you end up paying in the long run! CO-pay for this, 80% care for that, that procedure doesnt cover this, get rid of the HMOs, and give me the real deal. We spend so much money for the stuff, and it doesnt even help you when you really need it anyway. We are victims... and nobody does anything about it!
Okay, I really didnt, but I wish I did. Have you ever sat there and thought of what you could do with $2 Million bucks?
My first would be to buy a big house with lots of bedrooms, on a big piece of land. Somewhere where my kids could play with whatever they want, and not disturb anyone, or have to ride thier bikes in the driveway or street. Then, I would buy a couple of cars, one for each of our needs, and of course, our dream cars. I would then invest some money safely, and just let it build up. SO I could afford to send my kids to college. The rest would be whatever floats my boat at the time.
What woudl you do with $2 million? And hey... if I cant win the lottery... you can help me win the feature blog contest... vote 4 me!
Just wondering where everyone is from! Wanna see if I got any neighbors on here... so come .. tel me where you at! I promise not to look you up if I visit there! LOL
It went great, Dr said he has much improved since last night. He did take another bottle this afternoon, and so far its staying down. He seems to be smiling more, and generally getting back to himself. They said his behavior was more or less just shock, no damage to his brain functions or anything. THANK GOD.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, it is TRULY appreciated. I dont know what I would have done if he wasnt okay. Well, I guess everything will be back to normal ...soon enough he will be screaming at me at 3am for a feeding!LOL
We made it through the night. The baby slept right next to me all night, we kept waking him up every 2 hours to make sure he was alert and responsive.
Talked to the Dr.s late last night. They said all his tests came back really good. No severe problems. He did say he has a concussion, and contusions, and of course a little abrasion on his head.
We have to go to see his peds doctor this afternoon. We will see what he says.
This evening, the baby was sitting in his bouncer seat in front of the fireplace. The fireplace has a shelf, which holds pictures. One of the 8x10 metal frames fell ( have no idea how... nobody was near it) and hit him in the head, right on the soft spot, he starting to scream as I ran to him, Ipicked him up and hugged him looked at his head, and there was blood. We packed up as quick as we could and as we were driving to the hospital he just stopped crying, I was talking to him but he wasnt responsive. He kept closing his eyes, and I kept shaking his arm to keep him awake. He fell asleep, I kept shaking his arm kissing his face, moving his legs... but he didnt wake or respond in any way. We got to the hospital, and DH droped me in front I ran in, trying to tell them what happened, and then the damn woman starts asking about insurance... I started yelling who cares abotu the Fing insurance, he isnt waking up. They rushed us in, everyone who was available came to the baby, all of them shaking his arms and legs, moving him, they starting to take off his clothes, hook him up to all the monitors, and finally.... the doctor pinched him, and he started to scream.... it was the best sound I have ever heard! They ran tests, neurological, CAT scan, X-rays. His face started to turn blue, which they described to me as broken blood vessels ( contusions). In the end, he was back to himself, smiles, and coos. Dr said he has had quite a shock to his system, and he needed to be observed, we stayed quite a few hours, and he was doing pretty good. They said we could take him home as long as one of us were watching him at all times. Dh and I are going to take shifts tonight. I was hysterical most of the time, I really thought I was gonna lose my baby after only 8 weeks. I still cannot stop crying, I am scared, and I feel that they should have kept him overnight. I am afraid to sleep... I just want to know for SURE that he is okay. Please keep my Patrick in your thoughts and prayers.... he will need it.
