Just a little update. For most of you that know me this is old news. The past week has been absolutely miserable. Mia had the modeling job from hell Wednesday. I was told a "client" wanted her for the cover of a magazine. I should bring pink tops and not feed her lunch as she will be eating chocolate cupcakes for the shoot (and may have to eat a lot of them). The shoot was scheduled at 12:45 in Benton Harbor. My friend Laura watched Mason and I told her I'd be back around 3pm since these shoots can go quick or last over an hour. I thought I was being conservative. I dropped Mason off at 11:15, picked up Mia from preschool at 11:30 and drove straight to the shoot. Mia says she's hungry and is almost crying that I won't feed her. I arrive at the shoot to find they have booked 2 other girls for the same job and they have scheduled a minimum of 3 hours. (I call Laura in a panic who tells me not to worry). At about 1:30 "they" come out look at the girls and decide to start with the one who has the thickest/longest hair since "it will take longer to do". We sit with no word until they come out at 3:15 and release us. Soooo, Mia never even got her pictures taken. At least we still get paid and Mia got her cupcake. Since I'm not a big breakfast eater I was ready to eat the magazines in the waiting area! I guess I need to ask a lot more questions next time they call one of the kids for a job. To top of the day's fun Mason started vomiting at 9pm and it took until Friday before he could even keep down water. Fun, Fun! Mia was the neglected child and I felt bad that she was pretty much ignored while I tended to Mason. She of course vomited after dinner last night. Luckily that was it. I kept her home from school today but I think she is just working it for the attention. She seems perfectly fine (and has since about 9am) but if she doesn't like what you want her do do, wear, eat, etc..... she says she's sick. Yeah right.
I guess I should be thankful this was before the Holidays and not during Mike's hunting trip (knock on wood, rap.... rap....rap).
So sick kids.... and Bo died.... and Michigan lost. Bad week.
We did manage to sneak in getting our family pics done Sunday after mass. Our first family photo that has Mason in it. The kids thought it was fun and it only took about 15 minutes to take the pictures.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
