I don't believe what has happened over the last couple of days... I will write it out, but the coincidences are just short of improbable....


So Wednesday evening I am yet again trying to get the names of the Oracle subsystems and their functions in my head, along with Codd's rules and how Oracle handles roles and users and scripts and queries and views and... you get the idea.

ex Hubby takes them both out for a couple of hours. He likes to watch Tim at his swimming lesson. Ami goes because she wants a burger king afterwards. They return a bit early. Ami has an allergic reaction which has caused half her mouth to swell. She is crying and inconsolable. Tim says he has an itchy foot. So I write off the rest of the evening... exhubby goes home without offering to take Ami to the emergency clinic or look after Tim while I do.

Ami has had this problem once before - we thought it was because of a new antibiotic she was given for an infection. Obviously not now. I make a call, it wasn't life threatening last time, there is no swelling to her throat - just her cheeks and mouth. I give her some antihistamine and put a movie on for her in her room. Tim I put to bed with a story. It's now 9pm. I pick up my notes again.... and I hear crash, then I hear vacuuming. I go upstairs to find her in tears again trying to get the remnants of a plant vacuumed off her sheets.

I sigh, put my notes down... strip the bed, make the bed, put the washing on, make a coffee, check she is alright and pick up my notes... she now has a headache and I rush to get the calpol and put my notes down again. Much comforting later, I pick my notes up again to find my cold coffee and that it is 11pm. I give up and go to bed.

Ami's face is still up in the morning - she refuses to go to school... I have to leave her at home alone and do this exam. Tim I take to school, then call the doctor for an appointment. The doctor only has space while I am in the exam. I call Ami and tell her she will have to go to the docs on her own (this is not a problem - at the docs I was told at 14 she really ought to be seing the doc on her own).

I go into the exam room, my head buzzing with disconnected facts about oracle. I am shaking, I am sure I am going to fail this one. There are 4 questions. There was 8 revision topics. I don't freaking believe it - the 4 topics I did get to revise are the 4 topics of the questions!!!!! I look up and mouth "thank you". 50 minutes into the two hour exam I am done. Its not perfect but I am more worried about Ami. I look around me, hold on, everyone else seems to be about done as well!

We sit there in silence waiting for one hour to be up - we can then leave... we do. On the way back to college we discuss where were are going for lunch as it is the last official day of college. I phone Ami and find she is OK, the doc said there was nothing to do but wait for it to go down and here are some more antihistamines. Good!!! I can go socialise for the first time in two years!!

Ring Ring... caller ID shows it's Tim's school. "Tim has german measles! We have isolated him immediately, please come and get him." OMG - I apologise, I am not going to lunch. I put some money in the pot for drinks and leave. I phone the docs and get an emergency appointment which I can just make. I get to school, Tim indeed looks like he has Rubella. I rush into the docs having left him in the car (there is a mother and baby unit there) and ask where they want me to take him.

Tim and I get escorted round the back of the office to wait for the doc (about 10 minutes). She declares this is an allergic reaction - just a rash. Here is yet more antihistamines. Off to the chemist/pharmarcy to get the prescription. Go home, put Tim in a cool bath to stop him scratching and feed him the antihistamine.

We all sit down for a quiet afternoon (antihistamines make them drowsy) watching Shrek 2. Court is the next morning. There is nothing to do for that except to respond to whatever exHubby comes up with. I asked him to move the court date, he wouldn't . It would make me late for work and I get paid on appearance only.

Earlier in the month ex Hubby had presented another "consent order" - which is something that both parties agree to and the judge signs to make it official. I couldn't sign it, it was designed to trap me into being in breach about every other week or it enforced the children into specific activities - at least one of which is not happening any more!

So I wrote something that was very flexible, which effectively gives him permission to be taxi service to the after school activities and allows him to have Tim 3 weekends out of 4, with Ami choosing what she wants. He signs it, I sign it - he is happy and it actually says nothing - it just reflects what has been happening for 5 months - why do we need that bit of paper? The judge prefers no bits of paper... but ex hubby had to have one. Oh and work? I was 10 minutes late, so I left 10 minutes late, so they are all happy too.

So here I sit on Saturday trying to finish off the other assignment work wondering was it a lucky week, an unlucky week or just proof that the universe doesn't care? Either way, looking back, it's been a very long and bemusing week.

Glad to hear you are doing ok. Even glader that the kids are ok, alergic reactions can be a nervous time ( I ended up in the emergency room when I was younger due to an unknown allergy).

Good luck with the studying and the ex-.

Take care of yourself.

[Platypus]

That's all enough to make your head spin NooNoo, for sure. Glad it worked out as well as it did for you. God only knows what they might put in the food at places like Burger King...
