Holly I do think we learn very well how to survive, and it takes them a very long time (if ever) to make it back and yep, they do struggle.
Liss, I have been telling them that they need to call their dad and just like you I no longer feel like I have too. I tell them if he called and let them decide if they want to call him back.
Oh yeah, the weather here....it would just be cruel to tell you.
D9 has had a dry cough for the last couple of weeks. I have been keeping an eye on it, checking her temp and such. It gets worse when she is really active so I have her settle down. Today I gave her some Mucinex, man that stuff works, she started coughing up the goo. (sorry)
This evening we went to my gf's house to deliver Girl Scout cookies and she went outside with the kids and unbeknownst to me was playing basketball. sigh. She came running in and coughed until she puked. (nice...) Poor thing.
Of course Father of the Year decided to call tonight (of course) and she told him that she was sick (in a pitiful voice) and well he wanted to talk to me.
H: What's going on with D9?
M: She's had a dry cough and nothing else for a couple of weeks and then tonight around 7:00 she puked while we were at a friend's house.
H: You need to take her to the Dr. tomorrow. It's been 2 weeks and she needs to go to the Dr.
M: She has had no other symptoms until tonight, please don't think that I am not taking care of the kids. There are no Dr.'s open at 7:00 at night and I'm not taking her to the ER.
H: Well make sure you or your mom takes her to the Dr. tomorrow, I will call and check.
He now thinks that I don't know how to care for the kids???? Am I supposed to run her to the Dr for a cough, a dry cough, when she acts perfectly fine, plays, eats, everything normal except that? I'm thinking he is looking for anything to make me look bad. I hate being so suspicious of him but with his recent behavior what else am I supposed to think?
I will have my mom take her or I will when I get home. I really hope she isn't sick. Not only becuase I don't want her to be but because if she is it will make me look like I'm not taking care of her and he had to tell me to take her to the Dr. or I wouldn't have.
I hate all this nonsense.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. I will check in after work.
