I'm tired of sick kids. As soon as I get two or three of them well, whichever one was leftover is sick and starts the cycle over again. I have 4 - a 4th grade girl, a 5th grade boy and a 6th grade girl (who had her first dance this weekend, believe it or not! WTF?!? In 6th grade?)...and a 20 month old. Last Friday, I had to take Ben (5th grader) to get a blood draw to see if he has mono... that was one of the most hideous days of my life. He is scared of needles (and so am I). They told me I had to sit with him in my lap and wrap my legs around him, which I did, hoping I didn't pass out, too. They called in two additional nurses to help but Ben still got one arm loose and elbowed me right in the nose/cheek. Hopefully, I'll get his results today...I sure hope he doesn't have mono.
Ben had been sick Thursday (stomach bug) and is just finishing up a prescription of antibiotics for strep throat. The baby and my youngest girl are finishing up antibiotics for sinus infections.
Last night, the baby started throwing up around 10 and didn't stop until 3 this morning. I'm really tired...I need to find someone that would be willing to trade lives with me for like two days...I'd take even one day!!! I need a break!! Any takers...?!?!
