This is what wee one has been going through for the past week. She has complained of acid reflux in the past, but lately it has been terrible. She is having quite a bit of pain in her tummy as well, so much so that she doesn't want to walk around or play. I took her to the doctor this morning to get to the bottom of things.
Apparently her esophagus is irritated from the acid, so she is taking Zantac twice daily as well as following a bland diet....which means nothing fried, carbonated, caffeniated, tomato based, etc., etc....I am going to take this opportunity to put the entire family on a healthy eating regimin. Maybe this is God's way of nudging us all to eat better! I gave her the first pill and she said that it made her feel better. Not perfect....but better. She is lying on the couch watching Nickelodeon, propped up by pillows which is how she is supposed to sleep for a while. I just pray it helps and that she feels better.
Betsy just called me from work while on her break. She opened up this morning and said that the supervisor last night who closed left the place in a complete mess. Lights left on, toppins not put away, equipment washed and left in the sink but not clean, even the register wasn't tallied correctly....she had to finish all of it by herself before the store opened. However, she said that she got it all done and things were working like clockwork by the time the store opened. What a little trooper....
I am half heartedly cleaning the house. Why you ask? I'm on my "summer" sleeping schedule and things got messed up today. During the school year, I can barely keep my eyes open past 10:00 to watch my favorite shows, but once summer is here I keep night owl hours and sleep until 10:00 am. Last night I stayed up late, but got up at 7:00 to get Betsy to work and wee one to the doctor. Now I'm sleepy....half the house is clean....and Idon't feel like doing anything! LOL. I also do not feel like cooking dinner. It's so hot here you just don't want to eat....so why have I not lost any weight?
We will be taking a trip to NC soon, which we are all looking forward to. JB had mapped a 50 mile circumference around Asheville of towns that would be possible places to move. He is such a nut. I'm sure the girls are going to be thrilled at the prospect of driving 6 1.2 hours to NC, then driving around the entire time we are there! LOL....actually we have a few fun things planned and just being there is relaxing in itself.
I am going to stop writing this incredibly boring entry now and return to my cleaning. Or maybe I'll take a nap. No, I must finish. But I'm so sleepy. I can hear it now, the chants of "the housework can wait"...."go lay down"....I wonder who will win out. My cleaning gene is pretty strong....care to take a guess?

Poor Wee One, I hope she feels better soon. Good Job Betsy! Is she going to "report" the closer or at least speak to them? I gotta clean here too, it's hard to unpack and keep the house running smoothly - it would have been nice to send everyone away until I had the whole place set up.
moving to Ashville? My sister lives in Chandler..A lovely area. Check it out.
poor wee one, acid reflux can be really painful. I do hope it gets better with the zantac. I think its awful that Betsy had to do the work for the lazy person from the evening before. Its a pity she didn't have a picture phone then she could have snapped the evidence and maybe it wouldn't happen again. Hope you have a good time when you go away.........Jules xxx

Poor betsy you always got a slacker in the work force some place. good job for her to have handled it. !!!!!!!!
Housework NEVER wins with me, it's alway the NAP that does! LOL! Hope Wee One feels better soon! Poor thing! She is too young to have this problem already!!! :(
Hugs and love, Lisa
If it was me the nap would win! I took a nap with my 4 year old today and thought I'll just rest for 10 or 15 min. I woke up 2 hours later!! yikes. Hope Wee One is feeling better. Traci
Poor Wee One...she should be feeling better in no time. Jim was on that for a while...then it tuned to the little purple pill you see on tv...and now he is doing so much better. Hope she feels better soon and sticks to the diet!
If I know you...cleaning won by a landslide. :)
*hugs*
aww I hope wee one feels better very soon!
Betsy is a trooper and doing a great job :)
ooo vacation time!
I'm thinking cleaning won out but naptime is always a good thing.

I sure hope wee one feels better soon. I have had this problem and was prescribed Nexium (works great), but she is so young! Bless her heart. You all have a wonderful day! Looks like we're gonna have some sunshine here in the sunshine state for a few days! .:Barbara:.
Are you guys moving? I must have missed that entry. LOL
I hate when kids get stuff like that, it doesn't seem fair. Hopefully she's feeling all better today. ~Melissa
Oh, if you guys can take a couple of hours off, you've got to check out Sliding Rock near Asheville. It's a natural slide into cool mountain water - awesome, especially to us Floridians!! My kids (2 girls and a husband) LOVED going down the sliding rock over and over again.
Here are some photos:

Sorry to hear wee one hasn't been feeling well. I can really relate to those summer late nights... only things got hopping busy and haven't had any time at all to sleep in or get to bed early. Hopefully this weekend we'll both catch up on rest. Hugs,
Lisa
