MedicMom Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not going well. I woke up to discover that I could see my breath. Something went wrong with the boiler--we heat with hot water/forced air--at some point in the night. It is 25 degrees outside. My husband is at work until 8 am tomorrow. Then my best friend called to tell me that our other friend from high school and college died unexpectedly this morning. And now my two year old had started vomiting. I really just want to crawl back under the covers and eat cheesecake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. :grouphug: Sounds like a rough morning. Hope you're able to get the boiler fixed quickly and that your little one feels better soon. Hang in there. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just don't share the cheesecake with the 2 year old. :D I'm really sorry. Not having heat when it's cold enough for pipes to freeze is really miserable. A friend dying unexpectedly is so hard. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 :grouphug: :grouphug: I'm right there with you. A very dear friend with leukemia who really needs to resume his chemo, can't because he's so weak. Meanwhile, we are about to be hit with a mega storm, and I have four vomitting menfolk (12.5, 14.5, 16, and 48) in my house. I'm still standing and pray I continue because one of them looks like he may end up at the ER on IV's and zofran. Ds can hardly stand and dh is only slightly better. DD isn't here to help. The city has been hammered and she's five hours late getting off shift - the medical director issued iv kits and zofran to all of the medics to have for personal use...They need them to rehydrate and keep working if they come down with this. Of course, you know all about that! I would LOVE to eat cheesecake with you. However, my philosophy once the first person started with it yesterday was to NOT eat anymore. I'm very hungry! Commisserating with you, Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violamama Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yikes, what a day! Hugs and all the cheesecake you want (after the plague has passed) to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicMom Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 It turns out my friend was murdered by her boyfriend. It is gruesome so I won't share details, but I ak having a rough night. On top of the miscarriage two weeks ago. And then my son got his head stuck in the arms of a plastic chair and I had to call the fire department to cut him out. I really just want to go to bed. My husband will be home tomorrow. I cannot wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicMom Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 ((MedicMom)). That's just too much. Take to your bed! Thanks. I kind of feel like I am overreacting. But I think I am just numb and emotionally overloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm so sorry about you friend and miscarriage :(. Is your house still cold? I don't think I could stay in a cold house and clean up vomit, I would have to go to a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicMom Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 My dad came and rigged something so I have heat in three rooms downstairs but no hot water or heat upstairs or in my kitchen...apparently the boiler has to be replaced. Three rooms is better than nothing, we are just going to cuddle on the futon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
