Whats up with Caleb??

So a couple of years ago we went to California on Vacation. It was going to be the first time the kids ever see the ocean so I play it up,( overdramatically of course) till they are just hopping with excitement by the time we get to the beach. So Caleb gets to our spot, stubs his toe and ends up at the lifegaurd station. His big toe toenail falls off and the lifegaurd tells him to stay out of the water and he spends the day miserable on the beach. :(

So the next year we go once again to California and go to Disneyland. The first day there and Caleb pukes. Nice. He ends up sick the whole time. He refused to go back to the hotel he just sulked all around Disneyland running from bathroom to bathroom, and looking miserable for pictures. :(

Last week Matt took Thursday off work and We decided to go to Lagoon for the day when we got there guess who's sick?? poor Caleb once again. We had to call his Grandma to come and get him. So sad. I think we may just leave him home in September when we go to Disneyland.

Naw, it wouldent be the same without Caleb there sick or not.

Anonymous said...: I understand too. I got strep throat on the way home from DL in Feb. Not Fun. Maybe he gets car sick? If only they were traveling theme parks, and they could come to us.; July 10, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Babe in Boysland said...: Poor kid! Pump him full medication, muscle relaxers, tylenol, anything to ward off any possible illness. Good luck in September!; July 10, 2008 at 12:57 PM

Debbie said...: Honestly, where are the memories if at least one person isn't puking! Some of my favorite trips are remembered because I spent them heaving. But really, Caleb shouldn't be so selfish. Tell him to share the wealth with his siblings next time :); July 11, 2008 at 8:56 AM

The things we say and the things kids hear are two completely different things...

Surving The Death Of An Adult Sibling By TJ Wray

I walk into the family room, turn on the television, and stand in front of it for a few moments. Distracted, I wander into the kitchen. I go purposely down the stairs into the basement laundry and stand for a long time, trying to remember why I was there in the first place. Then I start to cry. Again. What am I supposed to do? I seem to vacillate between numbness and hysteria, bewildered and lost in my own home . . . My mind is devoid of all thought; there is only a faint hum whirling around the place where my thoughts used to be. The numbness is punctuated every so often by a sudden surge of grief, a spasm really, that strikes without warning, bursting forth from the same blackness that mutes my thoughts.
