Not Everyone's Mama

Pato and I.  We are a team of oooooh, it hurrrrts.  Pato got home last night with a toothache.  Let’s preface this by stating that when Pato was in Mexico to visit his dad before he died, that he had a root canal done.  Flash forward to last summer, that tooth broke.  He went to the dentist and they said that the person who did his root canal left some of the root there which is why he was having pain.  To fix it?  $800.  Pato’s work doesn’t offer insurance.  This was the first time I have seen him go to a dentist, doctor, anything in the 8 years we have been together.  He doesn’t go.  He deals.  He didn’t get it fixed.  Eventually the pain receded. 

Last night he called me from work and asked me if I thought the hospital could help him.  That right there told me how he was feeling, again, in 8 years, man has never gone to a doctor, let alone the hospital, and there have been times that I tried to insist that he go, and he didn’t.  He was in so much pain he wanted me to drive up to Indianola in the middle of a snow storm with the 4 kids to get him.  I said, my parents are in town, let me see what they are doing.  Otherwise, I’ll come get you.  Well, in that time he went to Hy-Vee and got himself some ibuprofin and Tylenol.  I kept trying to call him back to see what we were doing.  Finally my phone rings.  Evidently I need to have a talk with Pato about overdosing on Tylenol.  He took 4 extra strength Tylenol and chased those down with 4 ibuprofin.  He was feeling no pain, but sweating profusely.  I want to say when I was pregnant, I was told the max dose of Tylenol is 2600 mg and the max single dose is 1000 mg.  He took 2000 mg in one pop. Hello darling.  Don’t do that again.

He couldn’t sleep last night having left his medicine at his work.  Oops.  He got up at 6:30 AM and went to the store and got some more.  When I got up he’d finally gone to sleep on the couch.

When I got up, I had a migraine.  So, I put Sun Breeze all over my head and took an Excedrine Migraine.  It’s starting to ease off finally.  Except when Katiana starts whining about how life isn’t fair because Jordan got his chores done and is playing Bowser’s Inside Story while she hasn’t done her chores yet and can’t play her DS.  I’m not quite sure how that is unfair, but in the mind of a 5 year old, I guess that means that life just sucks.

Nano on the other hand woke up in a good mood and is laying on my arm nursing as I type this.  Well, nursing and trying to put his fingers in my mouth.

Alyce is still sleeping with daddy.

I haven’t posted my Valentine’s Day Exchange present I got the day before yesterday.  Must do that now.  My partner was TheBluestButterfly.  She’s from here in Iowa too. 

Yeah, look at that chocolate!  I mean, the rest of it is awesome too.  But I love me some Ghiradelli.  It makes me want a chocolate martini at The Olive Garden.  The chocolate is gone.  I had help.  Mostly in the form of an almost 1 year old child who was begging at my legs.

Isn’t she cute.  She’s on my key chain already.  I love angels!

And her husband made this!  Isn’t that pretty?  If you want to look at this stuff, you can go visit his website!  I love his cross jewelry. The pins that she sent me have such beautiful designs on them and I’m having trouble keeping them for myself.  The kids seem to think they need them. 

Plus she sent me a recipe with everything else that looks scrumptious and I think I’m going to have to make it for supper soon.

Thank you so much to TheBluestButterfly for my Valentine’s Day package!  I loved it!

I don’t think we have much planned today unless Pato and I start feeling better out of the blue.  I have to get 2 ATC cards done for the ADSR, Kristi hasn’t done her’s either, so I’m not feeling guilty yet.  LOL  They have to be done by tomorrow night, but I think once I sign off here that I’ll get going on those.

I’m with Ricky Martin, I just want to relax today.

Have a great day!
