Today...

Well, today has been a disaster so far. DS was fine until the dentist walked in the room, then he freaked out. It was so awful. As a result, we couldn't make the molds for my new Invisalign trays. And the only time the dentist has available later this week is when our babysitter is busy. Of course DH will be of town on a fellowship interview, not that he could help even if he was in town. Ugh.

Today I'm taking DS (16 months) to a dentist appt with me. Usually I'd get a sitter, but this is the fourth appt in four weeks where the dentist has said I might get my Invisalign off, might have to wait another week, or I might get fitted for a whole new set of trays. I'm not paying for a sitter for the fourth week in a row when the odds are the appointment won't last more than 10 minutes, so off we go. I have visions of DS sticking his hands in my mouth while they try to make molds for my new trays, but I guess we shall see. Think positive thoughts!

At that age, I would wheel DS in while buckled into his stroller. It has worked well!

I wish that would work with DS, but he's just not willing to chill in his stroller unless it's moving. And ideally, he'd like it to be moving fast.

Today, I'm sick of being sick. I have had an upset stomach for a week. Thought I was fine this morning, ate an egg (probably not the best start back, but I'm trying to lose weight, and it sounded really good), and my stomach hurts so bad! DH is gone and convinced I should go in to get checked for pancreatitis. I, the wise non-physician, don't think I'm sick enough. I'm waiting until he's home tomorrow night, and then we'll see. I'm really hungry, though!

Sorry your sick, Deebs. And Orion, that sounds awful. I hate those situations with kids. And dentists. So altogether bad.

Sassy, I do that all the time! Caffeine is my best friend and worst enemy!

Today I woke up after getting 7 hours of sleep. Thank you two-hour school delay! It is the first time in two weeks I have gotten over 4 hours of sleep in one night. I feel so thankful.

Awesome!!!

[kandt]

Sounds great!

Today I have a headache and feel nauseous. Today I have been wishing it was bed time all day!

I'm so glad to hear this! I wish I was closer to take DD4 for a while and let you rest

Me TOO!!!

Today I got a pertussis vaccine for the first time since I was a baby! I had a pretty severe reaction, ca. 1981, apparently I was running a high fever and screaming continuously (when I was NOT a screaming kind of toddler)...I may even have been hospitalized. So for my whole life when asked if I'm allergic to anything, I've said, "I am sensitive/allergic to pertussis vaccine." Well, I'm due for a tetanus booster, and with pertussis cases on the upswing, I decided to run the risk that acellular pertussis vaccine won't affect me even if whole cell vaccine did those many years ago. I made the MA really nervous by making her identify the injection site for me (I got my flu shot at the same time in the same arm), so I can be aware of any local reaction that way. "Um, you've had a bad reaction before?" Here's hoping I'm fine (but I'm off to google adult Tdap adverse reactions just in case -- the clinic gave me the CDC sheet for childhood DTaP.)

Wow... I had a horrible reaction when I was 5. Very high fever and I still have a scar on my butt. I also give that as my only allergy. I did get a booster a few years ago and didn't have a reaction. However, my daughter had a reaction to her 5 year old shot . It swelled up to the size of a baseball, but no fever. She hasn't had a booster yet.

Hmmm that's good to know! I also haven't been immunized against pertussis since I was a baby due to a horrible reaction. I'm a few years behind on my tetanus booster so maybe I'll just go for it...

[SoonerTexan]

Shots for little ones suck alotofyarn. I always felt so guilty

No seizures, LOL! Really, I had a very minimal reaction. I did regret getting both shots in one arm because I had trouble moving that arm for a day and some residual soreness for several more days, but it's to be expected. DS complained of a mildly sore arm from his flu shot, and DD was totally fine (got hers in the thigh). Yay for being immunized! (As the ER doc said when I got cut my foot and needed a booster 10 years ago, tetanus is a stupid way to die...)

Today my car insurance company are frigging annoying me!!!! I swear there is no one working there. I have been on hold for a hour now... Today I found some amazing bargains at the book shop which make me feel better about the car insurance drama!
