Gosh I have been so busy lately, that I don’t know if I am coming or going. It seems like all I do is run errands and take care of sick kids. I really wish the schools would clean better, because I am tired of these kids coming down sick. Between the doctors visits, trips to the pharmacy, trips to the store for more supplies and then the normal stuff as well, I am surprised that I haven’t gotten sick from being run down. It really isn’t easy to take care of all of this stuff. Sometimes, I wish I had a regular job and someone else stayed at home to take care of it all. Ah well, it is what it is.
Always something
There is always something when it comes to kids. I have one who has been consistently sick for the last few weeks. I had to take him to the hospital last night because he was coughing so badly he could barely breath. Of course, the ER doctor was about a moron and didn’t do much for him. The nurse however went and got him something to help alleviate his cough and help him sleep. Gotta love nurses.
Better appetite
Well my littlest one finally has his appetite back. After weeks of on again off again sickness, from a stomach bug to a cold and sinus infection the poor little guy just hasn’t felt like eating a lot. I felt so bad for him, but still had to make him eat so he didn’t lose weight. I am so happy that he is finally back to normal. I hate winter sickness. This time of year it is always the same thing. Sick sick sick….grrr
Kid home sick
Well this morning my son tells me he has some nauseousness and almost threw up. Of course I probably should have sent him to school anyway, because as I suspected, a couple of hours later he says he feels better. He was probably just tired because he had a hard time falling asleep last night and didn’t want to go to bed. I hate it when the kids pull this crap, because then when they really are sick I don’t want to believe them. It makes it very hard to decide when to keep them home and when not to. grrrrrr
