Kids went to the Doc today. I am sick also, so hubby took off work early to take them. I was right of course ( I am always right) They are really sick. Mini Bug has an URI with an inner ear infection. Poor little Mighty Bug has an URI, Bronchitis, and a middle ear infection also. Mini Bug was given Amoxicillin and Loratadine which I think is children liquid claritin. Mighty Bug was given Augmentin and prescription Ibuprofen for pain and fever. Mini Bugs nose is so red and tender it looks like the skin could start bleeding. I feel so bad for her. I really feel bad for the baby. I know he turned 2 yrs old and is a big boy now, but he is still and will probably always remain, my baby. He is having the most terrible time of it. In a lot of pain, coughing his little lungs out and just plain ole miserable. He screams and crys when he coughs till he throws up. It scares him so much. My heart just breaks. Hey moms out there, I know I said this before, but I feel it needs repeating. If your little angel is sick…keep them the hell home!!!!! Please stop spreading your little sweeties diseases to innocent people. I am getting so fed up with these mothers that send their kids to school and out in public while they are clearly sick, and spreading their germs to everyone! If your kid is sick…YOU stay home and take care of them. You made them, it’s your responsibility. In fact I could really go on a ranting rage about this one. When I was young, and we got sick, my mother took care of us. She didn’t ship sick kids off to daycare, she didn’t take us out shopping so that we can sneeze and cough all over the store. We stayed home, she made hot soup, took us to the Dr, whatever, but she was there and we were IN the house until we were well. I stay at home and take care of my little devils until they are well…I make home made chicken soup, keep the vaporizer running with the vicks in it. I keep the cool wash cloths on their feverish little heads. I rock them while they are crying and try to comfort them, sometimes both at the same time….and they are built like brick houses let me tell ya..its not easy. But they are mine and my responsibility, and it is ME they need to take care of them…not a day care worker while they are ill and feeling like crud…they need the comfort of their own homes while they are sick…why doesn’t every one feel that way?

I know I will get flack over this, but you know what I don’t care. It’s my opinion and I am entitled to it. Women should not have babys who don’t really want to raise their own kids. Kids should not be raised in Daycare centers. If a mother has to work, then that work schedule should be around the childs needs and not the other way around. Why make a baby, if its not your top priority? Why make a baby so that someone else can raise it for you? I dunno, the world confuses me anymore. It’s upside down and inside out. I know I come from a different generation, where the wife stayed home for the most part and took care of the kids and home, the husband went to work and provided for the family. It worked! Kids came home from school and knew their mom was home waiting for them. I could go on and on, but I better not, or maybe another time when I am not in such a foul mood because I am over exhausted from taking care of sick children. Once again…Keep your sick kids home! I’m sick of the sickness already. My little 4 yr old just got to go to PreK…she has already missed almost 2 weeks of school because of being sick, because mothers who have to work, send their kids to school while they are very sick. Screw that. Or maybe I am assuming they work, maybe they just send them because they don’t want to deal with them and want them out of the house…that could very well be the case also. Shame on you!
On to other things. My older boy who is staying with us, went to another dentist appointment today. That has my panties in a twist also. He now has to go see an Oral Surgeon to get his top teeth removed. I have explained over and over and I swear over again, that the boy is on a fixed income. He’s freaking nuttier than a fruit cake I tell ya. He doesn’t have dental insurance, he is on Medicare, which doesn’t cover anything dental. Oral surgeons cost an arm and a leg. All I want is his top teeth extracted, and get him dentures made so he will feel good about himself again. Noooooo they have to make it so damn difficult and so damn expensive. Just yank the freaking teeth out!!!! They all want a piece of that pie don’t they. So, I have to think about this, after I feel better and can think of the best course of action to take. He can’t afford 240 bucks a tooth to be extracted. That’s just wrong. I know I had a tooth pulled about 5 years ago and I think it cost me 75.00 at a normal dentist office. I sat there, opened wide, and he yanked the back freaking tooth! WHY for the love of God would they make a poor kid who doesn’t have a pot to piss in go see an oral surgeon. Just pull the freaking teeth 2 at a time until they are all gone! No that would be too freaking simple. Assholes. Then the older boy said to me, who I lovingly refer to as asshole #2 son, says mom. Can I have a weight bench and some weights and maybe the best testosterone booster. Blink Blink. I look at him. What? I say while I am holding the dental work papers that he brought him. He says, I think I would really like to start working out at home instead of just as the Y. I look at the papers in my hand, and look back at him. (Remember I am sick, and have been cleaning up after 2 little ones who have been vomiting all over the place, running fevers etc) and ask him…are you out of your ever lovin mind? He gets a real confused surprised look on his face. Why are you getting attitude with me he asks. I am ashamed to admit, that I actually yelled (and it felt good at the time). I yelled, I am trying to figure out how to pay to get your rotted mouth fixed and your worried about weights???? He looked at me stunned for a moment, with that clueless look he can get. Then I seen the light bulb go off in his head and he said, oh yeah…I forgot, see mom, that’s what I need you for. You have priorities. I couldn’t take it anymore and asked him to please go get busy doing something and leave me alone..which he gladly did. Deep long heavy sigh……nite folks.
