Public Service Announcement....

Stay tuned this week for a very important Public Service Announcement....Bet I have you wondering...

Poor Baby....

There are a couple of things in my life which make me angrier then most... and the biggest of those is my kids. Hurt my kids, and I turn into a bear. Fast. I have NO tolerance for it. That being said... This is why I am angry...

As you know from a couple of days ago, little Jeremy hasn't been feeling too good. Thursday he had a fever of 101, and I was up for most of the night....the next day he seemed quite a bit better...but very very cranky...

So cranky, that he bit one of my new day care kids on her first day here... (Great advertising...thanks son....) Fortunately mom was very understanding...but I was a little perplexed..Jeremy is normally a pretty laid back guy..and he was being very agressive...including with me?!?

So.. Saturday afternoon the poor little dude was actually worse again, so we went to a walk in clinic...
I had to wait for an hour first of all... Well... ok... it is a walk in and they were busy... but then I met the doctor....
Here is how the meeting gos...First...they had the wrong chart. They had mine instead of Jeremy's even though I told them he was the one sick... So the doctor says...to me instead of HIS staff... "Why is this the wrong chart?" -- Like I should know for crying out loud....
He asks me what is wrong..so I tell him-also adding that Jeremy is still nursing...and that he has been crying for several days. Jeremy has an ear infection...no surprise there...the little guy was miserable. Doctor asks me how much Jeremy weighs...and this is where the problem comes in.

I say... I don't know...it has been a while, and he is getting weighed when we get him his shots this month. I also add that Jeremy is wearing 6 MONTH OLD CLOTHES and that I am pretty sure that he is between 20 and 22 lbs. THE GUY ARGUES WITH ME. "My daughter is about the same age and she weighs 25 lbs and she is smaller then him... There is NO WAY your son is 22 lbs. "
SOOO I ask the doctor to weigh him... AND he tells me He can't because the scales are locked up? WTH?
(He also told me that the reason that my son is crying is because my milk has dried up, and he is hungry. At which point I got angry, and told him Jeremy has 3 squares a day - Thankyou very much... and He is definately NOT hungry. )

I was angry to say the least, but I took my perscription and left for Costco... After I got there...the pharmacist took one look at Jeremy and says "I can't give you this perscription...this is for a boy...at least ...3xs his size....

WHAT!

Pharmacist phones the doctor and of course it is Sat. so he gets the answering service...

What we ended up doing, under the pharmacist's direction... was re-adjusting the dosage so that Jeremy is getting 1/2 a tsp. 3 times a day instead of what the doctor said....six ml three times a day....... My grandson has been on this before.. Amoxcillian.... and he is a lot bigger then Jeremy and he only ever takes 1/2 a tsp three times a day.

I am extremely frusterated.... I think I am going to file a complaint...
Thank God for an alert pharmacist. This time it would just have resulted in the runs, but what if it was something different my son was being prescribed....
I am going back to my own doctor on Monday...just to be sure everything is all good...

What would you do in this circumstance??

Charlie and the Unicorn.

After hanging with my son and grandson all day..I am exhausted and ..this is all I have to offer you....

my sick sense of humor....

Sadness...... Silence....... And then....a voice stirs As gently as a whisper... As softly as a breath... "You are beautiful" "I have known you Always...." "Eternity" It strikes me like lightening It is like a thunderbolt To my senses: my heart. God Lord of the Heavens, Creator of the universe Loves ME unreservedly I am His. Music...... Color....... Surround me now... Like the glory of Heaven As beautiful as angels wings As delicate as gently falling snow. He thinks I am lovely. Worship... Flows from me like light Like insence, drifting upward And I praise him with all that I am. Tears Healing waters from my soul... He catches them in the palm of his hand Because I am precious to Him. Joy.... Light..... Robyn Jones / April 2006

Belated Valentines Dinner!

We weren't actually planning on going out for a dinner this year...without me working...funds have been very low....
BUT
My oldest daughter Krystal wired us some money so we could go out! (I knew there was a reason I had kids...LOL!)

We were going to try and go out without Jeremy...but that didn't work so well...Grandma was sick...so instead we brought him and went anyways.
We ended up going to a place called The Balizean Cook Shack.
It was new, and we both like ethnic food, so we thought we would give it a shot...
plus Kendal knows the lady (Toni) who runs it,
and has been telling me since last summer that he wants to go there.

It wasn't exactly romantic...
with my son..
and a lady my hubby knew talking to us....

but it was fun.
Tony is freakin hilarious,
and we had a really good time.

There was no one in there...so Jeremy had free run of the place....
and so as usual...he went straight to the source of the music.

and under the chairs...

and flirted with the owner...

The food was good...Kendal and I both had Curry Beef with rice and beans..
and it was kid friendly.
We will go back....

This weekend will also be exciting...
My oldest daughter and her son are coming from Winnipeg
to spend three days with us.
I haven't seen her since before Christmas..so we are all excited.
Unfortunatly my other two girls will be out of town
on a youth excursion all weekend..so that didn't work out quite as well....

Have a great weekend!

Evolution of dance...

I was on You Tube this morning, and re-discovered this video....talk about a work out!

Forward facing!

This weekend we decided to turn Jeremy around in his car seat to face the rest of us! Was he ever fascinated...He talked about it all the way to the restauraunt we went to...and his eyes were as big as saucers.....He was very cute....

SICK...

For the first time since my little man was born...he has a bad fever...and he is SICK....with capital letters....
It started last night...he is always a little clingy after Mathew gos home for the day...(the little boy I look after)
but last night, he wouldn't get off my lap. He lay there for two hours watching t.v....He was trying so hard to be sociable...chatting to me, and smiling at my youngest daughter....
but he cried when we put his pjs. on him...he must have been achy.

I checked his temp, and it was quite high... 38.6 which is 101 F.
I gave him tylenol, and waited for the temp to come down which it did fairly quickly
and then he played for a while.
But he was still really listless...
I put him to bed at 10pm, but by 1am, the poor little dude had a fever again...so
more tylenol...Nursed him for one whole hour...and tried to put him back to bed...
but no go.
I tried to bring him to bed with me, but he was miserable...and again, was trying to be polite, and kept chatting at me...
"oh...daddy...mommy....ow. nice. oh what's that?"
My hubby had to be up for work at 6am, so I went to the couch with little boy.
I sat up with my poor little furnace until 3:30 am...and then he fell asleep...and I watched him.
Finally at 6am, his fever broke...
but he is still really miserable today...and on tylenol every four hours...

Right now he is sleeping peacefully for probably the first time in 24 hours....

I hate when they are sick...I hope he feels better soon....
If he isn't any better tonight, we are going to have to visit the doctor...
There is too much going around right now... :(
