Day 32-Full bladders and bellys

To start the day I wake up, pee, shower, get ready for work and pee again before I leave the house
You know as a parent you are always making your kids go to the bathroom before you leave the house
Well it sticks into being a grown up
So I drive to work and when I get there find out Im the lucky winner of random drug testing
Woo Woo
Me and another co worker have to go back and meet with the drug test lady
Do a breathalyzer and then a urine sample
So I chug some water before I go back hoping I will have to pee
She escorts me to the bathroom.. shows me the line I have to fill to a whopping 75 mL and I do the deed
WELL I didnt pee enough...
I cant help it Im prepared lol
So I have to dump my sample and start all over..
The other lady had the same problem
So we have 3 hours to drink up to 40oz and produce enough of a sample.. other wise there is needed a medical reason why you cannot produce enough
I chug two 20oz cups of water
Its 615 in the morning
My body does not like water in the morning it makes me nauseous
AND we are out of ice so its WARM water
I HATE warm water, It makes me want to gag
So here I am sitting in this bright room trying to let my pee produce, chugging nasty warm water and trying not to puke because its so early
Thank goodness for Pinterest on the phone
The drug test lady had been up all night long
Shes exhausted and we are all there sitting looking at each other waiting for bladders to fill
Now if you go in a second time and again dont produce enough urine you have to start all over.. drink more water.. make more pee and hope its enough
and no its not a running total
Gotta empty the cup each time and start all over
Its a weird feeling sitting there knowing that you have to pee.. but hoping you have ENOUGH
I dont think I have ever concentrated that much on making urine ha!
I sat there until I thought I MIGHT be good
Then I started jumping up and down hoping to have enough
My bladder hurts but is there enough???
AND PS us dispatchers have bladders the size of small fire engines
We can fill it up and hold it! 
Finally after an hour and a half since this all started I feel confident I might have enough to give her and decide to try praying I dont have to start over and CHUG more water
Woo Woo Woo 
I guessed right
I made sure to give her twice what she needed..
and then had to pee every 20 minutes for the next hour or so!

That day also I had a KILLER headache ALL DAY LONG
I blame water poisoning
I tried tylenol, diet coke, eating, chocolate
NOTHING would fix it
I also woke up with a sore throat from hell
Its a good day so far right :)
So after my 10 hours at work, peeing all day, headache, sore throat, I come home to make dinner and decide momma needs a little medicine
I am not a big drinker and dont drink too often so it doesnt take much to get to me
I decided on some OJ to give me some additional vitamin C and some good Ol Captain for the throat and headache
It was amazing
It took care of my sore throat
Took care of my headache
I finally felt better
Cooked up some pork chops, mashed potatoes and veggies for dinner
Hunter is up for the weekend so he was staying with us too
He ran over to his dads, Kennedy was watching a movie in her room and Chris and I snuggled on the couch
We were watching the Ringer
Theres a point in the movie where one of the people says 
"When the eff did we get ice cream?"
Chris and I both look at each other and ice cream it is
I run to McDonalds for some $1 hot fudge sundaes and he wants some hot apple pies also..
well they had fresh baked warm chocolate chip cookies too
The drive thru was FULL
I ordered 3 hot fudge sundaes, two apple pies and 3 cookies 
Hey dont judge you read about how my day was earlier!
Kennedy, Chris and I each had a sundae, a cookie and Chris and I each had an apple pie
We finished shoveling our mouths and he said man that was so good I could eat two more pies and more ice cream!
We watched a little bit more of the movie and Hunter calls me
I had to put it on speaker phone because I was going to laugh if I said it out loud..
He says
"Hey Im gonna stop at McDonalds for some ice cream do you guys want anything???"
I told him no thanks and Chris said he wanted an apple pie
...
..
Hunter gets home after like 15 minutes
The lines were packed
He had an apple pie and thats it
McDonalds was out of ice cream lol and all he got was Chris's pie
I started laughing and had to tell him we just had ice cream and pies from there :)
