Tired!

Well here I am exhausted! It has been a long week and I am thankful Dexter came home this weekend! Although I have barely seen him because I have had to work all weekend.
Let me begin to say that a 12 hour trip in the car with a 2 and 4 year old are fantastic times! We didn't get to leave last Wed. due to that TRI states receiving the biggest ice and snow storm in 13 years. I did manage to get out of town Thurs morning and let just say we didn't arrive to Ohio until about 1100 at night. The last two hours of our trip were horrible, the snow had started back up and you couldn't even see the road. I drove at 35 mph for about 2 1/2 hours! Thanks god for my friend Ashley, I drove and she tended to the kids. Lets just say I think P and E were a form a birth control for her. All in all they were very good for all things considered. The trip was very short and I felt like we barely saw Dexter. It was just nice for me to snuggle up with him at night. I think that is what I miss most. The trip ended with me getting sick with something "viral" as the Take Care clinic nurse said.
Thursday night E decided to run a fever, I woke up about 2 am and checked his temp and it was 103.8. This fever lasted until afternoon on Friday. It was crazy, you wouldn't even tell that E was sick. He didn't have a runny nose, cough or even acted like he didn't feel good.
Tonight has been very eventful! It seemed like a normal day, Dex, I and the boys played outside. Dexter and I dropped P off at a birthday party at 5:30. Luckily I went home after and Dex went to pick us up something to eat because at 6 I got a phone call from the birthday boys mom. Her voice was very frantic on the phone and said the Preston all of a sudden laid down on the floor and went limp. At first she thought that he was just playing and then when her husband picked him up he was still limp and not responding. The anxiety and fear rushed to me and I immediately picked him up. When I arrived he was still lethargic and pale as a ghost. I immediately put him in the truck and made him squeeze my hand all the way home. When I got home I checked his temp and it was 102.8. So lets just say in about 45 min he went from being fine to a fever. I assume he had another febrile seizure. He has had several of these in the last year. The pediatrician assures me that it is nothing to worry about that some kids get fevers so quick that their brains freak out and causes them to have the seizure. The things I read about on the Internet say that kids usually grow out of this about age 5 but I don't see it getting any better. Its scary but I think I am used to by now. So used to it that I still came to work, I was about 10 minutes late but still came. I thank god Dexter was at home because I don't know what I would have done if he was gone. And lets just say the poor birthday boys mom probably had a seizure herself. I am sure P will be the talk of school Monday since she is a teacher there. Luckily 4 year olds have no idea what goes on at times or else (as Meagan said) P would be known as seizure boy.
I will end my weekend tomorrow saying goodbye to Dexter. He is leaving tomorrow afternoon for 3 weeks and hopefully, no wait I mean, he better be home for good after that. I feel like I have barely seen or spent anytime with him since he has been home. This is the longest I have been away from him in 11 years and boy it sucks. Although, I have learned alot about myself while he has been gone.
I am just tired--Loving adulthood! Boy, there are days that I wish I could just go back to high school.
