Transpired Events

Wednesday, September 5^th, 2007

Melissa sent me a text message, telling me she had a migraine.

She also told me, that our children, Gabriel and Xachary had broken a very thick drinking glass.

Xachary received two cuts on his left arm.

Gabriel had taken the toilet brush, and a bottle of shampoo and started to clean the toilet with it, when Xachary started to interfere, Gabriel proceeded to soak Xachary in the toilet water.

Upon arriving at home, I discovered the boys, locked in their room, spraying each other with a bottle of fantastik oxy. They were both soaked.

I awoke around 8:00 am, and discovered that my boys, too were awake. I proceeded to wake Melissa and I requested her help in cleaning the boys, they had leaked through their diapers.

At 8:25 am I proceeded to leave for work, Melissa had decided to continue sleeping and let the boys roll around on the floor of the bedroom until 10:00 am.

This day, was different from others, in that Melissa had to be to work at a much earlier time, our normal baby sitter would not be able to watch them until 3:00pm. We had decided previously that a mutual friend, Monica, would watch the boys until 3:00 pm when Melissa would pick them up and take them to the sitter.

At approximately 1:15 pm, I called Monica and she told me that Xachary was covered in blue ink that would not wash out. There were blue marks on his face and his hands were completely covered in blue ink.

She also explained to me, that Gabriel’s rash is very severe and we need to take him to a doctor. Unfortunately I do not have the capability to take him to the doctor during the week days, I have requested Melissa take him a number of times, but it still hasn’t been done.

Earlier that Morning, Melissa had told me she’d be going to bed at 1:45 am, but to my knowledge she did not go to sleep until at least past 2:00 am.

In my observation, Melissa feels it’s more important to spend all hours of the night talking to guys on AOL Instant Messenger than it is to wake up early and take care of our children.
