I'm not going to lie. I'm tired. Perhaps more tired than I have been at any other time since the wee one arrived. The post MMR shot weekend of whining and sniveling (mostly Ben) and worry (mostly me) over unexplained rashes sucked the life out of me. Dude finished the weekend with a scream fest in the car all.the.way.to.school.today...needing 20 or minutes of soothing at the babysitter's place before I could leave him and start the day...top it off with nearly an hour of school time; prior to school, my prep period and recess, trying to get past the answering machine at the flipping doctor when I should have been preparing report comments and I was fit to be tied.
Fast forward to the 30 min early leaving time today to get home in time for the doctor. Arrived at the babysitter to find the mysterious 4 day old rash pretty much gone. It went anyway. As mysteriously as it appeared. By the time we arrived at the dr. it was reappearing a bit.
Caused by the shots? Possibly. Possibly not. One thing for sure, get the dude screaming in fury and it comes back in bright red. Now it is in his file and there are no more mandatory-ish shots for a few years so I'm going to try to relax.
and go to bed.
and hope the rash isn't back in full force tomorrow.
because if I have to call for an appointment again and waste my precious time hearing the click of that answering machine over and over and over again I may very well become a drinker.

Sleep well my dear friend. Rest will make it seem much better! We are all off to bed as well, since my sweeties are both currently snoring on the other couch... Molly nestled on Daddy's chest.
Julia's house sounds much more peaceful then mine or yours the last few days. I'm going there.
I've done that...called and called...waiting for someone to pick up...finally they told me their office procedure. They don't answer the phone until they have returned and booked appointments for people who left a message. So if I had left a message at 11pm when the fever was high I would have been among the first to be called back that morning...ARGH!! Why didn't they tell me that in the first place??? She thinks she was aggregated by my multiple hangups...
It is so hard when they are miserable and there is nothing you can do. I hope you get a little rest soon. Maybe a mental health day :) Christine B
