So, we find today that it's true. If you cry wolf enough, no one listens! P was whining at me last night that her throat really hurt. This was after running around the yard, playing in the pool and flying down the slide on the swing set. I just didn't really listen to her. She felt a bit warm when I kissed her goodbye this morning but I wrote it off as nothing.
Well, right around noon I get "The Call". Angie called to tell me Payton had a fever of 102.7. Oh no! What a mean mommy I am! The I realized, no, I was just fine, she's always whining about something hurting so it's easy to ignore. Angie and Terry felt horrible as well. They both had shooed P away when she went to tell them about her sore throat and how bad she felt. Angie realized when she touched Payton, she was on fire!
So, off to the Dr's office we went. I was able to get in to the regular office on a same day visit. That poor child was just exhausted! She slept on the way there, fell asleep while waiting to be called in and fell back asleep while we waited for the Doctor to see us. Yup, she has strep. Poor kid. It's times like this I really feel sorry for true single parents. I know I'll have Jim home at some point to help out, if I did this indefinitely, I'd be a whinier baby than I already am! We had to go to CVS's drive through for the prescription b/c she was in and out of sleep. I'd left my card at home so I had to go back for that. It was just miserable all around trying to do this with a child that should have been home in bed, not running all over the place.
She's now zoned out on the couch trying to figure out how to not take her medicine.
