Its just been one of those days...I haven't been feeling well this week but I've been putting off this season's flu shots for a while so I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment for today.
Dallas is pretty behind on his immunizations also so I went ahead and scheduled them as well.
Might as well get it all done and over with right?
Well, I lugged all three kids into the clinic. Some how
I managed to fill out surveys, fill out paperwork, and sign papers while holding a crying wiggly 9 month old and watch the other two to make sure they didn't pester any poor patient.
Once we finally got called into our room, I had to strip Dallas down to his diaper upon which we found out he had a rash. Something I totally overlooked during the day during his clothes change and many diaper changes. I just chalked it up to a heat rash, something my kids tend to get as babies. No, this Dr. thinks it may be a viral rash. Ugg.
More than an hour later with three restless kids, Dallas finally got his overdue 6 month immunization shots. Through which he screamed his lungs out! That in turn freaked Mason out and he started to scream that he didn't want his flu shot anymore. Brook was a brave trooper until the last moment and then she decided she WAS scared and then I had three screaming kids on my hands. Oh how I wished I could cry my head off with the rest of them!
After bodily forcing Mason bug to get his shot he said, "Did it hurt"? Ahh! I don't know Mason, did it? "No". Ha ha.
So now we are home. Dallas went down for a much needed nap and when he woke up, there was nothing I could do to calm him. He would not bundle up and rock, he wouldn't eat anything. I paced, I tried everything! Including crying like a baby. I pray Jer gets home soon!

Oh, I remember those days! No adviced to give...I'm not entirely sure how I got through them! Good thing dads do come home and kids do eventually sleep! Hope you all feel better soon.
I feel your pain. Ia m just trying not to think about doing it all over again ha ha! The only office that does it here makes you wait like an hour before you even get back. We somehow survive but I am usually like you in tears or close to it when its all over with. Glad there done though i bet!
Thanks guys! Oh daddy finally came home and it was immediate. He got better. I could have screamed! But I was so happy to have dad hold Dallas for a while. I'm exhausted!
