No Good Day’s


I am having an angry angry day. There are several contributing factors to this. I have stresses this week that have touched upon deep grief in my heart and have made me feel like I have fireworks going off in side of me. As a result, all other aggravations are getting more attention than normal.

For example, a moment ago, I had just finished detailing 5 conversations over the last few days that have contributed to my already bad week. Right before I posted it, it got erased. Now I am angrier. My mom called me and soon realized I am so frustrated I can’t even talk right now. I am not about to rewrite all that I just wrote but to suffice to say that I am having the whole RSV shot nightmare happen again that happened last year and I am in utter amazement at the incompetance of people. I seriously doubt Ty will get his RSV shot by Wed and we are leaving for vacation next Sat. I started working on this SIX WEEKS ago just to avoid this scenario and it did absolutely no good. Being a parent advocate is a full time job and I am so sick to death at managing other people’s jobs that I just can’t even think straight right now.

The picture below details beautifully how I feel. No. I said that wrong. This picture details how Ty feels and apparently he feels really good. Imagine though how I might feel upon discovering this mess. Not so good.

An hour ago Tanner needed another yogurt. He said Ty ate his. I went to check. Tanner was correct.

If your wondering, yes that is Strawberry yogurt all over my couch. He looks quite chagrined about this doesn’t he? Sigh…..

  1. Doni, I am so sorry that you are having a not so good week. The mess Ty left looks pretty bad once again I am so sorry and I really hope and praythat you get the RSV shot in time for your trip. I will be praying for you and that you have a better week. Love you!!!!

  2. AAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! “there’s no use crying over spilt milk” often comes to mind in situations like this and i want to spit at whoever thought to say that when i’ve had the kind of week you are having and THEN TO TOP IT ALL OFF seth goes and pours MOLASSES all over the floor (or yogurt on a nice piece of furniture)! i don’t just feel like CRYING over “spilt milk” I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AND THROWING THE WHOLE STINKIN’ JUG OUT THE WINDOW!!!! (no, wait, make that THROUGH the window!!!) i know… sister, i KNOW, what this must have done to you. wish i could have been there to send you to a bath while i cleaned it up for you. truly, i do.

  3. I have had several yogort experience. The one I love best is when Sage decides that shaking the container will help, yes it does help. Help get it all over the place, not just where he is sitting. He has managed to get it approve 10 feet accross the room. Milk products are not my favorite.

    I hope that this week is better than the last!

    Jere’

  4. What a mess! But that is a really cute picture. Like my Mom always says “we can laugh about it later.” (maybe!)
    My son decided to take off his diaper and tee-tee all over the floor. Thankfully it was on the tile. I know of someone who duct taped their child’s diaper, that might be our next step.
    On the RSV shot fiasco I am so sorry and really hope it works out. My son has an immune disorder, his body doesn’t fight off infection like most kids and we don’t qualify for the shot. That makes perfect sense to me??!
    What an advocate Ty has in you, you are doing a great job!

  5. You’ll make it through it. I hope there is at least hope for Ty’s shot. My insurance has told me that Landen does not meet the requirments for the RSV shot anymore and will no longer recieve them……..something I am going to have to fight and get loud about. Landen and Ty were both mirco-preemies and you were there when the nurses told us how important it was that they get these shots for at least the first two winters of there lifes. Yet get this, Ryan will continue to recieve the shot this season. Both my boys have been intabated and very sick because of the RSV yet only one will be protected this year.

  6. Susie…FIGHT IT! They try to get away w/ telling everyone that. Imagine how many folks just say “ok” and chance it. All it takes is some strong talkin’ on your part. Go for it!
