Yesterday was not my favorite day.
My morning prayers started out asking for help to understand and complete some things I had for a big deadline at work. Let's just say, I wasn't specific enough when I asked for understanding.
I meant "please give me a light bulb moment in which everything becomes clear and I magically get all this really hard stuff done."
I got "here, let me show you how you have been doing this wrong all along and you will understand how you need to do this in the future because you will be redoing everything from the whole last year."
So my prayer was answered, but totally not what I meant.
I was tired.
The inversion made me grumpy.
And I was really mad at myself for not seeing the problem sooner.
But, at least I had a date with my hubby to look forward to.
When I got home, Liam seemed like he was breathing kind of shallow and fast. I didn't think too much of it, but I thought I ought to call the doctor anyway, just to make sure. The nurse was busy, so I made an appointment for the next day and asked that she call me back when she could.
Matt and I got ready to go out. He picked up my niece to baby-sit for us and we left.
Halfway to the restaurant, I got a call from the doctor's office. I briefly explained what was going on with Liam and they told me I had to get him checked out that night.
We ended up in the doctor's office at 7:45. (Who knew they were open so late?) Turns out the poor kid had an ear infection and fever of 102.5 by the time we got him all checked out.
Next stop - Walgreens for the prescription. I've never been to a Walgreens before. I don't know that I'll go back. They kind of scare me.
Matt took my niece home while I got the kids medicated and in bed. (Lyssa still has a cough and Liam needed to take his prescription for the ear.)
Little did we know, the night was just starting. Between Alyssa and Liam, we were making trips upstairs about every 10 minutes. Liam was fussing and coughing. At one point, he threw up all over everything, completely covering himself and me. Lyssa was whimpering and crying all night. How is that not supposed to break your heart? I hate it when they are sick.
After another doctor's visit this morning, we found out Alyssa's ears are both infected.
We have so much medication in our fridge.
I have had enough. SERIOUSLY.
Also, I want a do-over on the date night. Doctor's offices are not fun places for dates.

Big hugs to you!! I hope you all sleep better tonight and that the kids feel better soon. And I agree you deserve a date night do over!
So sad you had such a bad day, had to listen to me whine, and then couldn't go on a nice date because your poor sweet kids were sick. I hope you are having a better weekend.
:(. Bah humbug. If we can manage to have all of our kids healthy at the same time, we'll take yours so you can go out. Date nights are precious!
