Keeping This One Very Brief

I'm working until 2PM today and then I'm off until Tuesday!!  YAY for 4 1/2 day weekends!!!  Therefore, I have to get some work accomplished and prepare myself for being gone. 

I'll keep try to this brief.

I'm leaving at 2 PM today because I have to go pick up Neon and take him to our pediatrician's office so he can pee in a cup.  Let me back up a couple of days and explain.....


I hate it when there is a group of people talking in front of me and I have no idea what they are talking about or who they are talking about.  So fucking annoying!!  Explain please!!!  Okay......

Tuesday, I was sitting at work, picking my nose at my desk, minding my own damn business when the phone rang no surprise there, fucking thing rings about 100 times a day.  I recognized the number immediately....

Here is what goes on in my head when I see that number:

"The nurse at the elementary school is calling me at work.  Something terrible has happened....SHITTY FUCK"

So, I took a deep breath and answered the phone.  

The nurse said, "Ms. Darling, I was just calling to let you know that Neon went to use the bathroom and then he told his teacher that he was peeing blood." 

<Shocked silence> 

I said, "Okay, well, that is not normal.  He hasn't been sick or anything.  Is there anything else wrong with him??" 

"No, I don't think so.  No fever or pain or anything.  Do you want to talk to him?" she says.

So she puts Neon on the phone and he was crying.  I asked him a bunch of questions like:

Did you fall down?  - No
Did anyone push or hit you?  - No
Do your balls hurt? - Well, I was sitting in class and one of my balls hurt but only for a second.
Why are you crying? - I'm scared!

So, I told him to not worry, everything was going to be fine and I would send his Daddy to pick him up.  Thankfully Supa was off on Tuesday and home playing video games.

I called our pediatrician's office and made him an appointment immediately.  Supa watched him pee when he got him home and he said there was definitely blood mixed in with his pee. 

(Now, I'm at work FREAKING out.  I was relaxed and perfect until the nurse called.  Talk about Insta-headache.)  At one point, I had to go outside and call Aunt Darling so she could remind me it wasn't time to hit the panic button yet.

Supa took him to the doctor and they did all kinds of tests.  Pricked his finger, of course had him pee in a cup, tested him for strep.....the whole nine. 

They couldn't find anything wrong with him!  He kept saying that he was perfect but you're so not if you're peeing out part blood, part pee.  He doesn't have strep, no UTI, no bladder infection. 

SO, they put him on an antibiotic just in case he has some kind of infection they can't see yet.  They sent his cup of pee off to the lab to do a culture and that was about it.  SO, I have to take him today to pee in a cup again, hopefully get the results of the first pee culture and they want us to take him to the pediatric kidney specialist.  I'm supposed to find out when that referred appointment will be today, I think. 

I'm glad they are staying on top of things and taking this seriously.  I mean, we absolutely adore out pediatrician and I know he will do everything he can.  Neon had kidney issues when he was still an unborn baby in my tummy and they took care of things then.  He hasn't really had any problems since then....My poor buddy!!!

**Neon finds humor in every situation.  SO I asked him when I got home from work if his balls hurt at all.  He reached down, squeezed them and said, "Nope, they are fine!"  LOLOLOLOL!  Yep, definitely Supa's son.**

I'll keep everyone posted on what the hell is going on when I return to work on Tuesday.


I hate shit like this.  It's no one's fault, there is nobody to blame and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

I'm beginning to wonder what Supa looks like.  Yesterday he worked 8AM - 9:30 PM and then he got back up this morning and was back at his grind by 4AM.  I don't know how the man keeps up.  I would be half dead with that lack of sleep issue. 

I think after he gets home today we might take the kids to go eat some of our favorite Mexican food. 

I have so many things to do on my day off Friday.  I'm going first thing in the morning to get my haircut.  Then I'm going to pick up the kids so we can go to Wally World. (Supa will be working of course)  After that, I'm going home to bake Dazzle's birthday cake!

Saturday, everyone is coming over for Dazzle's birthday party.  My first born is going to be 12!  OK....So I feel old now.  LOL.  .

We're having lunch at the house, the cookout that she requested.  Bacon/cheddar stuffed turkey burgers, smoked sausage and hot dogs all on the grill, deviled eggs, my homemade coleslaw and who knows what else.  Supa took Saturday off so he could be home for the festivities and man the grill.  Then it's time for presents, cake and roller skating!  Everyone is pretty excited to have some fun and watch everyone else fall on their asses a lot.  I can't wait!! 

I'm keeping Sunday and Monday open.  Who knows what we might get into.

Grrrr!  I was supposed to be keeping this short!

Let me just leave you with a little humor from Uncle Darling:

Because this will last much much longer!



God, I hope this isn't true.  BUT just in case, this does not include flusterbation so have at it!

Until Tuesday,
