I guess I was meant to pee at 4am this morning. When I got up, I heard a beeping noise coming from the kitchen. It was my cell phone. Someone had sent me a text in the middle of the night!
I quickly checked, and it was from Brandon, sent at 3:49am. He had been up coughing all night and wondered if I thought he should call in sick to work. I don't know why he thought I would get this middle-of-the-night text message, as I usually do not take my cell phone to bed with me. But like I said, I guess I was meant to get it. Anyway, I texted him back and asked him if he had a fever. If so, I thought he should stay home from work. After a couple more texts, he told me he called in sick, and I told him I would call him late this morning. I didn't sleep well after those messages. I know he's 18, almost 19, but you still worry about your kids, you know? Anyway, when I called him back he said Dillons had called him back and said he would need a doctor's note to come back to work. Come to find out, they had him confused with another Brandon, who had already been sick 2 days. I guess after 3 missed days they require a doctor's note. I told Brandon to go to Walmart and get some Robitussin cough suppressant and start taking it right away. 
He works tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully he will feel better by then. No matter how independent your kid wants to be - who do they call when they are sick or need something - YEP - MOM!
His roommate, Brady, is in town this weekend. He called the twins last night to see if they wanted to go "late" bowling with him. They all went to Northrock at 10:30pm and bowled for 2 1/2 hours. They can bowl from 10pm-1am for $11, which includes the shoes. Of course, mom here had to wait up for them. They got home around 1:15am. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. At least not much GOOD sleep!
