I have created a monster. I know that there is no one to blame but myself being that I love planning birthday parties and holidays but Joselyn has teken it to a new level. I guess I should have predicted this behavior given her obsessive/ compulsive tendencies but it is really funny. She is absolutely OBSESSED with her 5th birthday party. I took her to the party store about a week ago to look at party themes and get some ideas for what kind of birthday party she wanted even though we aren't having until the first weekend in August. There is just too much going on this month and we can't fit it in so we have to wait until August which she is not too pleased about. Anyway she was in heaven that we were at the party store just for her! She decided on a Luau theme and I told her we would go home and think of some ideas and look up some products on the computer. She CAN'T STOP! Everday she wants to sit down and talk about her party, what games we are going to play, who she is going to invite, what she is going to wear, she is a monster. I think she must have secretly been watching "My Sweet Sixteen" on the sly because that is what she has turned into. So I finally sat down with her yesterday to talk about her birthday (I mean she literally can't sleep at night because she is so excited and obsessed with the birthday). We talked about the games etc. Then she came up with her best idea yet. She told me that she wanted to lay a red carpet down the stairs and out the door so that she can walk down it in front of everyone and she would be wearing her bathing suit, the one with the little skirt that goes with it, because she has obviously given this a lot of thought. That is where I ended the conversation and took a breather. Needless to say she is driving me CRAZY! So my mom gave me a good idea to make her a little party book of her own that she can look at when her obsessive nature is getting the best of her and then I don't have to sit and talk to her about it all day. So I made her a book of things that we might do or decorate with etc. at her party and she LOVES it. She actually slept with it this morning and she keeps adding things to it, like her home made invitations that she is so proud of because she made them herself. Never mind telling her friends when the party is or where but they are really cute and she did a good job. Anyway I just thought it was pretty funny. I don't know what I am going to do in the future. She definately has her ideas of how things are going to be and that should be interesting. Here is her little book of party ideas. Thanks for the advice mom.
This is her favorite page to look at, they are the party favors.
I wish the story ended there but unfortunately the restaurant experience turned bad. Before we left for Red Robin I took another couple of pain killers becuase I was beginning to be in a lot of pain again. As we went to leave I started to feel really dizzy and light headed and just not normal. We got to the restaurant and we were sitting there waiting for our food and I realized that I was either going to throw up or pass out. I like to pick the most public or embarrasing places to do this generally so this was perfect! So I did infact pass out at the table and THEN proceeded to throw up , in a bag thankfully, in front of the whole restaurant. We had quite a crowd around us by then and it was completely embarrasing. The funniest part about it was that Maddy and Josey were oblivious to anything going on with me. They were just eating and talking and laughing and totally unconcerned with anything that was happening to me. Maddy kept saying, "No more seafood for mom". I have NO IDEA what she was talking about. So we think the worst is over and everything calms down and then the paramedics shows up because someone called an ambulance. SO they rush in and take all my vitals again making a big scene and try to talk me into going to the hospital with them. So they finally leave and we try to get back to eating but I just could not get normal. I continued to feel extremely lightheaded and dizzy and almost passed out a couple more times. Meanwhile the girls are having a grand time eating and talking with the server that sat down with them it was really funny. So I convince Dustin to just try and take me home and that I needed to just lay down for a little bit. So we get the van and are on our way home and I start passing out again. At this point Dustin decides that we are going to the hospital UNFORTUNATELY we don't know where the hospital is, note:find out where the hospital is when you move to a new place. So we stop at the fire station. The firefighters get an IV going and call an ambulance and I end up having to take an ambulance to the hopsital anyway. The girls started getting a little concerned at this point but then one of the fire fighters gave them hats and stickers and was showing them the fire truck and again they could have cared less. I guess that was a good thing. So anyway everything was fine all the tests came back normal. The doctor thinks is was just a combination of not having eaten or drank much over the last couple of days due to my throat and taking some strong pain killers and the hot weather etc. And I was able to get out of there pretty quickly. Anyway that was our fun day yesterday that started off so cute and ended so ugly. I am just praying that nobody else get this strain of strep because it has been one of the most painful things EVER!
