Okay so I've been dealing with my dd's test results all week (posted about it in special needs) and now my other dd (3) gets sick, just in time for mother's day. She was coughing last night and threw up, then she starts running a 102 fever and has a stuffy nose and cough. Thankfully my dh's diabetes is finally back under control (his sugar levels had been almost 300 for 2 weeks straight) cuz his doc put him on something stronger. But now we're also fighting about Mother's Day. He NEVER gets me ANYTHING and now he wants to split up the girls on Sunday and take one with him to his sisters house to see his mother who he doesn't even really love (long story - she didn't raise him) and I take one of the girls and go see my mom, who I adore and who does so much for not only me and the girls but also for him. Not to mention the fact that I have my period this week. So I'm just feeling overwhelmed today. I also had some trouble with the mother of the boy I take care of. She drives me nuts with her problems sometimes and for being a psychiatrist is a horrible listener and never seems to care what I'm dealing with yet I'm like her personal counselor.
WOW!! Sorry about the novel ladies I'm just feeling soooooo overwhelmed. Not even depressed but just like I'm not sure what to do first. Thank God for this board and you ladies I know I always have someone's "shoulder" to cry on here. Just pray for me. I went to Church yesterday for May Crowning and we had a Living Rosary so that helped me feel a little more at peace.
Answer:
I'm sorry. That sounds like a lot on your plate. I don't think your dh should split up your family on Mother's Day. This holiday is just as much about you as it is the grandmothers. I would really try to have a heart to heart with your dh and explain how you feel. I know men can be stubborn sometimes (mine is certainly no exception) but this day should be about you and your family and you should really get to decide what you'd like to do....with both of your girls. I hope your dd starts feeling better soon.
Answer:
Oh, Montse, sending a hug & some pixe dust your way. Hang in there~
Answer:
I don't know how close you live to your mothers. Is there any way to just do a quick runby with all four of you to both houses? Just don't stay long at either, but then neither can complain you didn't come by. I could tell from your post that you want you all to go to YOUR mother's but I'm sure he'd like to see his mom too. Hope you can work it out.
Answer:
Update: My younger dd is feeling much better, her fever stayed down all night and just came up slightly this morning but her appetite is back a little and she's in a better mood. My dh's sister is no longer doing anything for mothers day so we'll probably just go to my mom's together. I also talked to my dd's ped. about the test results and he's helping me get the ball rolling on all the Evaluations that she'll need to determine if she has a learning disorder or ADD. So things are looking a little better today. Thanks to all you ladies just for being there and listening.

Thanks for the Pixie Dust, It's been a month since our Disney Trip and mine is starting to run out
Answer:
I'm glad that she is doing better. I know it has been rough. Hope the rest of your weekend is nice.
Answer:
I'm so sorry, but glad she's better. YOU really do deserve a real Mother's Day!
Answer:
thanks for the wishes ladies. Isabel is doing much better the fever has not come back so I hope this means it'll just be a cold and nothing more serious.
