But, I Don't Even Like to Eat Chicken!

My other bestest friend popped in today, so I couls watch her kids as planned. Well, needless to say that I did NOT sleep well last night with my babe out of the house. Damn that ex-husband. I cried uncontrollably for 2 hours straight after she left. Can you believe that MF picked her up half an hour early? Early! I watched him back out of the driveway, bawling and muttering to my hub, "That SOB did not visit me for the two days in the hospital when I had her. He was about 6 hours late picking me up from the hospital, oh, but today, he fucking has the audacity to be early? Fuck him!" Sob, sob, sob for two hours. My hub was so sweet and when I finally calmed down, he held me as I drifted off from exhaustion...then...AWAKE. FOR HOURS.
Ok, so then I am barely up, and the kids arrive, and I am thinking that maybe I will take them to see the torch pass through town...nope. Baby boy seems to have a case of the Chicken Pox.
Uh-oh. I am pregnant. 30 and 1/2 weeks exactly. And I have never had the chicken pox. I call my OB, and I will have to show up in the morning for blood work to test my immunity, and so forth. Baby boy leaves in one hour, leaving me to deliberate the pros and cons of this possible turmoil. And then, I remember- BONUS! My daughter has never had the chicken pox either. I suddenly envision my ex driving in his new mini-van, headed home immediately without a choice, as his vehicle is now filled with four contagious little girls, covered in Chicken Pox. My spirits soared. She would be home within days, and we could lay around, watching cartoons, and she would be itchy but safe in my presence. Yep, things were looking up!
And, then it turns out that Baby Boy simply has a severe reaction to mosquito bites. And everyone is in perfect health, including me. I know I shouldn't hope for my dughter to have a childhood illness and ruin her vacation. And last week, when she fell, I shouldn't have hoped that she broke her leg so she would have to stay home. I don't ever want her to suffer through any pain or itching, really. I just want her back. Maybe my ex can break his leg instead! Here's to hoping!!!!
