Let's Just Cancel Christmas

6:30am

I'm awake. Laying in bed wishing I was able to sleep more. I don't want to go to work, but I also don't want to stay home all day.

My wife got home from the hospital with her son last night somewhere around 2am. He should be ok, he just needs to rest. He has a bad case of Mono. I never knew it could cause a severe rash and swollen/ruptured spleen.

I seem to be fighting a never ending cold. A cough that doesn't want to go away. Hopefully our 4 year old doesn't catch all of this too.

Christmas isn't looking to great right now.

Everyone's getting sick.

Our daughter is in a group home for therapy.

Family members hate each other.

I feel like we should just skip the holiday this year....

8:50am

My 4 year has a fever of 103. Its going to be a long week.

My wife is heading to court this morning to hopefully get her daughter squared away in the residential program she needs for therapy. She was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) basically stemming from her piece of shit meth head dad. I hope this helps her because I don’t know how much more of it I can take.

4:30pm

Almost off work. I have the next two days off work for Christmas eve and Christmas. I think all of our plans were canceled because my wife and the kids are sick.

I never did get anything else for my wife for Christmas. I got her a couple of things but I was going to get more.

I just got an alert that the power went out at my house while I was typing this. I looked at the outage map from the power company and it looks like just my street is out of power. What the fuck....

7:00pm

The power came back on around 5:30. My wife is at the urgent care with our youngest, he has a sore throat and a fever. She is sick as well. I guess this is what Santa brought us this year.

I have been believing in karma more lately. I think everyone getting sick is some kind of punishment to me for being a historically shitty person. And its happening to them and not be because god knows I don't care what happens to me. It sucks seeing them suffer through things. Maybe I'm just being dramatic...

8:10pm

Wife just got home from urgent care with our youngest. Our 4 year old has the flu.

On top of that she had told our daughter, who is at her residential therapy home, that she would get a day pass for her to come over tomorrow for Christmas. I'm not sure how that's going to work with one kid having Mono and one with the Flu.

I was already worried how that was going to go. she was just told that she will be staying there for a couple of more months. I don't think its a good idea to have her come over tomorrow....
