Kate slept on the floor in our room last night because she was experiencing horrible pain in a tooth. She woke up 4 times in the night screaming & crying. She has an exxxxxxtremely high tolerance for pain so I knew it must have been bad. I was so, so sad for her, unable to bring any relief...and beyond exhausted myself.
First thing this morning I took her to the dentist. Turns out she had an infection in a tooth she recently got a filling in. He had to pull it. The pain she experienced afterward was not like anything I have ever seen from her before. Excruciating!!! Poor baby!
The pharmacy took FOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEERRRRRRR and then told me no one makes the antibiotic the dentist prescribed. Whatever! In the meantime Hudson found a vibrating hand massager on the shelf that he REALLY wanted to keep. No. So I had to man-handle his screaming, flailing body out of CVS.
They figured out a different antibiotic, but I had make another trip back to pick it up.
Heath was unable to hear any of my phone calls because his phone was accidentally set in some default voice mail mode. I thought he had Kate's insurance card. I needed it to pick up the script. But I couldn't get ahold of him. Made a trip to Sola to get it. He had it. I may not have been as nice as I could have been.
Hudson has been constipated for 3 days. He finally was able to "go" when I was back at the pharmacy, this time in the drive-thru. His face was reddish-purple & his scream was that "I'm in HORRIBLE pain AND I hate your freaking guts for not letting me out of this car seat RIGHT NOW" scream! There was nothing I could do in that moment.
Kate is the worst child ever when it comes to taking medicine. I was NOT in any sort of mood for complaining or whining about it...after that tooth kept me up all night, cost me a lot of money, a trip to Sola and two trips to the pharmacy. I had to apologize later to her for not being more patient.
The plan was to get her back to school in time for lunch. We weren't even close. Ended up in the McDonald's drive thru at 12:09pm - with EVERYONE else! I let Hud out of his car set as soon as we were in the parking lot since we were like #15 in line. He stunk so bad and all he wanted to do was sit on my lap. So I let his stinky butt crawl all over me as I creeped my way up in the drive-thru. When we made it to the window to pay, my car stunk so bad and I am positive the aroma drifted out my window and right up that woman's nostrils. SO SORRY Lady.
Changed the nasty diaper and ate lunch in the parking lot. Got Kate to school. Hudson went down for a nap. Natalie came home from school. And I took a shower at 2:30pm.
Oh yeah, and then Kate stepped on a bee. Barefoot. More screaming.
And the Lord thinks I can handle another one????!!!!

"I may not have been as nice as I could have been." Hahaha :) Been there.
Oh, and Kate wouldn't take medicine as a baby, would she? Remember that nurse that condescendingly tried to give her something in the emergency room when she was really tiny? And Kate threw it up all over? That's a great Peoria memory :)
First off---
"vibrating hand massager" ??? Is that what they're calling them these days?
Secondly--- Don't be thinking too much. Do what the Lord has called you to this day, this moment, the best you can with what you have at the time. Then move on. Don't think about the future 'cause that's all up to Him anyway.
Lastly--- From an outsider looking in, you're doing better than good. Looks amazing from my vantage point.
ok...now this is my favorite post of all time.
