I am never leaving home again. Until pizza stops delivering at least.

It was a good idea to take the kids on a cheap mini vacation until

we watched Maury's Vacations from Hell show and laughed at it.

Two of the three girls had to go to the emergency room the night

before we left. had a collosal 45+ minute long nose bleed.

She was supposto have her tonsils and adenoids removed before

Halloween, and I got mommy guilt and did not want to have to pay for

their therapy when they grew up because I had scheduled surgery

right before trick or treating. This goes back to the past where my

mom made spam and lima beans one Halloween night.

was fussy and not listening, so we took her too to have her

ears checked because she has hearing aids, and I am neurotic about

their care as she can not afford to loose any more hearing. She was

deemed to have a virus.

Then sneezed a wod of blood and goo, and freaked out the

urgent care doctor who seperated my husband and I with one child in

Emergency room, and the other still in clinic.

Ok, so like eight hours later everyone was ok, and we left. A goodie

bag of eight viruses and flu germs to go. We got home cold, and

exhausted to find the power out again. It was EXTREMELY windy and

the power was off and on all day. No luck doing laundry to go,

searching for bathing suits by flashlight, nope.

Then we get off to the hotel like 5 hours late. Power back on just

enough for us to get ready, and goes off as we are leaving, visions

of our home lit up like a Christmas tree upon our return go through

our mind. With double switches, we can not tell what is still o or

off. Oh well. Any burgular in our home would already assume it has

been ransacked and go on to something else.

Our friends who were meeting us there had a nice afternoon of

waterpark and dining. We missed all of it. We had trouble with the

hotel room and my mom in a wheel chair.

It was too narrow as they built a floor to ceiling log cabin in the

room for the kids. i call the front desk and they say we can move

for an extra $140.00. Nope. Ok, we will deal with it.

Then comes the next day, and as we had no play time in the waterpark

asked if we could stay another night. Fine, we played a bit more

until a phone call to my dad who is always home was unanswered for

hours. Ok, mom's hysterical, hours of fruitless calls, phone chain

activated, police called.

My brother who thinks that my mom is in a weelchair and should go no

where freaked out that we took her on vacation. My husband is 6'4 "

and strong. He can pick her up, etc with no issues. I did not want

to get 200 miles away from home and get called back.

Ok, police and brother find up and my dad comes home from taking a

drive in the rain. In the van he never uses. Leaving the stove on.

UGH I am so not digging being the adult now. granny is regrouping.

Mom messed up her med box, and after being asked several times not

to fill her box of pills for M-F double dosed herself in the Xanax

sleeping pills and konked out. Ok, stuff granny into bed.

Bed. yes, I am so STUPID. Now I remember why I do not go to hotels.

OUCH< a regular bed. I forgot how damn hard they are...Sleepless

hours go and go until finally I drift off.................

AND THE FIRE ALARMS ARE GOING OFF!!!!!!!!!!Ok, door not hot, look

out hotel door, no movement...we are on a ground floor anyway. Wait

a few seconds to see if it would stop. Nope. Wake up kids. Begin to

panic, visions of horrific fires pop into mind..cortisol off the

charts...Granny will NOT wake up and is now like a 175lb. of jello

in a 5'4 " ziplock bag. Ok, me in nightgown and jacket gets 3 kids and

granny onto patio.

Alarms still going. Ok, now it is raining, and we are freezing in

the 50 degree night. We see we are going to have to move to the

van. Which is ALLL the way on the other side of the building. My

husband BAJA " S granny over the grass and hills, I carry who

is like a 45lb pack of lead, and two other children behind us. We

get in the van and see the fire trucks at the front.

Bruce is stuffing my mom, in a shirt and a depend undergarmet into

the van, and she is snoring!!!!!!!!! We all grabbed blankets, those

that do not make you anything but colder. The sheriff dude finally

lets us back in and tells us the problem has been resolved.

We found out later that it was some kind of fire in the kitchen of

one of the restaurants. I swear it felt like one of those horrible

reality shows where they freak you out. We slept in late, and I

called the front office and told them that we would be having late

check out, and they WILL give it to us. A big freak out with a

manager, and he refunded $100.00 of one night. No more

waterpark.....Thanks, I am waterlogged enough. Kids now crying. Trip

to the hotel arcade off.

I feel like someone has hammered me from head to toe with a meat

tenderizer. The kids are all REALLY sick now. Great. I am in a

state of perpetual hot flash vs. freezing. The girls have a rash

from the chemicals in the waterpark. No, vacation does not sound

like a good idea to me. So if I decide to go somewhere again...will

you please tell me about this??

I guess the morals of the story are......never leave home without

your bed. Leave your children with the nanny, or bring her with you.

If you wear depends, put on pants before you go to bed.

Take all children to the doctor 1 day before vacation, but don't

tell them you are leaving.

Check granny's bed time meds. Eat some of hers, because she

obviously has better ones than yours.

Home dirty stinkie got nothing good to eat home is pretty good

afterall.

Disgruntled,and hot flashing.....If you thought this post was long,

boaring, and icky, you can go on vacation with us next time! LOL!

LOL!Barbara1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

>It is my Karma. If you like that one I will tell you about the

time I took 6 girls to a mexican restaurant to eat and then to the

movies. Three screens shots in after selling my first born to buy

tickets and popcorn the fire alarms went off. We ran out and the

fire trucks came. A fire in the popcorn maker. And my neice threw

up Mexican food all over us after the run, in the rain, around the

firetrucks, to the mini van. Damn it, I did not even get to eat my

slushie. The Monster's Inc. Video gives me heartburn everytime the

girls put it in!

$55.00's worth of popcorn and kid packs and m & m's left on the seats.

UGH>

I am so very sorry your trip was bad-honestly. But I gotta tell you I laughed so hard at this mental picture I forgot that I hurt so bad tonight. Please forgive me?
