Having a horrible cold: headache, mild fever, congestion, sore throat. Add to that one period: probably part of the headache problem, cramps. Add to that a trip to the dentist yesterday. They said they were replacing old fillings. I think they stabbed my gums repeatedly and then tried to break my jaw. That's what it feels like right now.
All that while taking your sick kid to the overnight pediatric urgent care, because she's been running a 103+ fever for 5 days.
The doctor wants her to pee in a cup. 4 trips to the bathroom because she SWEARS she has to go this time. Not. On. Your. Life. This kid and her pee will never part.
And hubby didn't want to eat dinner before we left. I haven't eaten since 5:20 this morning. He looks like a steak right now.
Because I can't just have one thing go wrong at a time. That's rookie bullshit for pussies. At least nine things have to go wrong or I can't be bothered.
I'm hungry as hell and can't read in a building with a crapton of crying babies. :/

Damn. I hope you didn't eat your husband. Or a crying baby.
FWIW, I would totally have pussed out. I would have told hubs to take the girl child, stayed home, popped an advil, and consumed all the crap food I could find.
How is she? And her mom?

She's about the same. We were there for 3 hours just to learn that it's a virus, which we already knew. We just have to wait for it to run its course.  We didn't get home until after 9:00 though. I had one frozen dinner in the back of my freezer and I'm sure it tasted like something. I just washed it down with some cold medicine and went right to bed. Hubby....  frickin' reminding me every 5 minutes that he shouldn't be in a building with sick people, because his medication wipes out a lot of his white blood cells. If I wasn't a bucket of raging hormones that would be logical. Last night, though, I was 'bout ready to scream: If you don't want to be here.... ... then GO WAIT IN THE FUCKING CAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!You know how it goes. |

I guess I live in a fucking hole in the ground, because I didn't know this about your hubs. What is he taking?
If he can't be around them, should he be around you guys? Can you send him away? When I'm sick, and still am forced to take care of business, I would honestly rather just plow through and do it all myself than to try and be nice while I watch someone else do it wrong. And when I feel like that, they're always doing it wrong. Just get the fuck outta my way. It'll go easier on all of us that way.

He's taking Humira for Crohn's disease.
I get it, but he's going to have to figure out how to deal in a world full of germs. He's always been kind of a crybaby about being at doctor's offices or hospitals anyway, but now that he has a legit reason, he's cranking it up to 11. There was no way that I was going to deal with that on my own with everything else. Last night, I wanted to slap him and tell him that he can't whine about a stranger's germs (that he's unlikely to encounter) when he's been kissing me full-on for a week with my cold.

Big hugs! Yeah, if I have to deal with all the shit then I don't want to hear him complain. And if he feels it necessary to complain then just stay home or go somewhere else.

^^^^^^^^
Yep. Either take it off my plate entirely, or put it on my plate entirely. Let me stay home while you take it, or stay home because it's bad. But don't make me go and then tell me how much you don't wanna be there. Worst of both worlds.

Exactly. And if I'm having to deal with shit I'm probably trying really hard to stay positive and I don't need that kind of negativity. That shit drives me crazy. I've gotten on to J about that shit.

But don't make me go and then tell me how much you don't wanna be there. Worst of both worlds. Yup that's exactly how I feel too. I hate when people feel obligated to do things that aren't specifically on them and then bitch to high heaven for "having" to do it. And it's not like he was oblivious to my problems. I complained about them on the way home. While we were collecting the kid to take her in, B's grandma took one look at me and said, "Oh geez, you don't look like you're doing too well." Nope. Not even a little. |
