The patients are trying my patience and other general complaining

A common theme here, I'm feeling very out of control and panicky. Do you ever feel that way? Too much to do, too little time, many many people that need attention more than the projects. I actually sat with Jason and played with him this morning for about an hour. He's so good at going with the flow, it's rare that he asks for help with anything. This morning he did, and I'm glad - Little Buddy starts preschool in September, I can hardly believe it, I know the next 5 - FIVE! months will fly. Anyway - what's happening here?

- Sarah developed an ear infection last week, and this morning said her ears 'tickled'. I called to bring her in this afternoon just to make sure the antibiotic had done its job. The helpful lady who answered the phone at 8:15am, when I declined the 9am appointment and asked for something after preschool, snarkily commented 'she's sick but you're sending her to school!' MYOB and give me the 2pm slot, thank you very much. Turns out Sarah just has ears full of wax. So THERE. Moving along!

-Jason, who has the same cold Sarah's had, developed goo coming out of his eyes. So I took him to the doctor yesterday morning. When they took his temp with the ear thingy he said ouch. He's now on an antibiotic for an ear infection, as well as eye drops for the goo. Happily the goo is gone and he's looking much much better!

-Matt removed one of his own stitches tonight, it was bothering him. He's leaving the other 2 in so that the nurses at the office can feel useful when he goes in for his knee surgery follow-up on Friday :) Heaven help me if anything major happens, he is not the most compliant patient...

-All in all, between the three of them I have been to the pharmacy just about every day since last Wednesday. Sometimes twice in one day. I could have gone today to pick up the drops for Sarah's ear wax problem, but honestly didn't really want to show my face in there AGAIN. Tomorrow is soon enough :)

So I'm pretty sure that March has completely gotten itself turned around - we started March with temps near the 70's, sunny and warm, and we're ending with high's in the 40's with rain/possibility of snow - SNOW!- for the next couple of days. I know I'm not the only one in my house longing for warm & sunny days - don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for a repeat of last summer's endless 98 degree weather - 72 and sunny will suit me just fine, perfect for kids to run around outside while I sit with my feet up and drink a gin and tonic iced tea! One can dream anyway...
