3+3+4 = Tension Glass

Single Mom with 3 kids + 3 dogs was the title for 4 days. 

D.H. was in Las Vegas for March Madness at a stylish Vegas Casino Sport’s Book. He deserved a fun weekend with close friends and free cocktails while watching all the basketball he ever wanted. He is encouraged to go on this annual March Madness sabbatical, he deserves it like none other. 

 

However – this year was a touch difficult for his better half. 

A glimpse 

1am 9yr old is on the verge of vomiting, needs TLC

 

3am Maddox quietly wakes & eliminates ALL.OVER.THE.CARPET.EVERYWHERE.

 

4am 5yr old stirs to relieve himself, steps in the matter, tracks ‘it’ throughout the house before wiping it off and returning to bed unrecognized.

 

5am Daphney awakens to start OUR day – it’s dark “what is that smell?”

 

6am DAWN – OMG what happened last night, why is there fecal matter everywhere?

 

7am Maddox is in pain and will not move/eat/ask for a belly rub

 

8am Begin laundry of 5yr olds bed linens – he didn’t clean off those feet real well.

 

9am Maddox to the Vet

 

10am negotiate-beg-cry to a long list of Carpet Cleaners to come sterilize this house IMMEDIATELY!

 

12 noon 5 yr old in pain, ear infection.

 

12:30pm consult with amazing Vet*, MacGyver Maddox needs to be stopped! He has gastroenteritis, fancy word for stomach and gut inflammation. Naughty boy made himself sick stealing food, Please read –> http://wp.me/pN4Oi-9N

 

1pm pick up antibiotics for 5yr on pain medication

 

3pm Carpet Cleaner* arrives, I kiss the ground he walks on (figuratively, not literally)

 

4pm “Mommy What’s for Dinner?”

 

4:30pm house on lock down while carpet cleaner is working up a sweat, sterilizing.

 

5:30pm race to vet, before closing, to retrieve naughty MacGyver Maddox. He is on a “special” diet now.

 

6:00pm discover the car has a flat tire

 

 

This is when the Tension Glass beckoned. 

While raising the glass, cheers to the many other multitasking friends out there, I send you hugs and support on those day when you: 

 

“guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue”.
