There's nothing like a sick day.

Well, let's see I've been working alot, but today I'm home with the kids. My Daughter has a staff infection on her leg. I thought it was a spider bite, but the Dr thinks it's more likely that a blister type wart on her leg burst open and got infected. I had planned to take her to the Dr and then on to day care. Unfortunately, I got a call from the Day Care (its spring break normally he would be in school) telling me my son had thrown up. So much for going to work. I called my boss and let him know.

I wound up taking them both to the Dr. The son has a stomach bug. I already knew this, but since I was going anyway I figured he should see the Dr too. We went by the store on the way home to buy supplies for my son, and while checking out the clerk started asking questions. She got "unpleasant" with me so I educated her rather than ripping into her with what I was really thinking. Why do people think they can question me like that?

Yesterday I let one of our trainees stick me with a needle and she did a good job. However, for some reason, I wouldn't stop bleeding for over three hours. I tried everything to get it to stop. It was a bit embarrassing. I've never had trouble like that before. I guess my body wanted to give more than that.

What in the world did she get unpleasant with you about?! Want me to hunt her down?

Sorry the kids are sick. That stomach bug is no fun, I know. Hope you're all feeling better soon.

Kelly: You would think it would have been bringing the child with a stomach bug in the store, but no, it was about the noodle's infection. She made this face and starting questioning me about how she got it and the risk of it spreading. No need to hunt her down. I see her all the time so I'm sure I'll have the oppurtunity to educate her again.

Sorry the kiddos are sick. Hope everyone gets back to feeling fine very soon. Love you!

Oh, and re: the store clerk freaking out about the kid with the infection, all I can say is that maybe she shouldn't be working someplace with a pharmacy. Just sayin'.

Somebody always gets sick during the "season" but this sounds like a doozy. And the people with a bad attitude don't make life any better. Bleck!

Hope they're all healing up nicely, Honey! It's so hard when they gang up on us like that.

And Siren's right about Beeyotch's career choice. Dur.
