My Day is Shot and it is only 10:30AM!

Published on April 1, 2004 By JillUser In Misc

Today was supposed to be a productive one. This evening was supposed to be fun. Guess what, 8AM I found out none of my plans would be on for today. My 7yr old woke up with another terrible ear ache. Had to immediately make about 4 phone calls.

It isn't until stuff goes awry that you realize how many different people are involved in your life. I had to call our builder because they were supposed to go over our 1yr warranty list with us. Had to call the school and let them know my 1st grader wouldn't be there. Had to call the neighbor who takes him to school (their daughter ended up sick too). Had to email the office to let them know I would only be stopping in briefly. Had to call the pediatrician, of course.

Now I have to try to distract my guy from a howlingly bad ear ache until his appointment at 1:45 this afternoon. He just told me, "I think if I hiccup or burp, my ear will just pop!" I know that feeling all too well and feel so useless. I gave him some Tylenol, hopefully that will help with the pain. Poor little guy. It would kill me if anything worse happened to him.

I am just hoping the little one stays healthy. He has been a little whiney and a little droopy. Hopefully that isn't a sign of something worse to come. I was really looking forward to going out with friends Sat. We were supposed to go out just the two of us tonight but that is now off. If nothing worse happens by Sat, we should be able to go out. Grandma will be here to hang with the boys. I just wouldn't leave them if they were feeling really lousy. I still want my own mommy when I am feeling really lousy

Such is life when you have kids. I wouldn't trade it for any other life though. My family is my world.

Hope you are all have a good day on my behalf
