Yep - I am. We had a swim meet scheduled for Saturday and I had to lie to Sal and tell her it was cancelled. :-/ We're having some side effects from her birth control pill - as in a period. :-/ It's pretty heavy and there's no way for her to swim with it and well, I'm a great Mom but I draw the line at inserting a tampon.
The real kicker is that the meet was the one that determines who will go to State in the summer. Plus I was sick (again) this weekend. I don't know what it is but sickness seems to really hold on to me lately. So let's just say my faith in God being so *good* "all the time", is about to the limit right now.
I know things could be a lot worse and if that's the worst thing that happens - well, our life is pretty good. But it just ticks me off. Like one more check mark on the "Things Suck" list. :-)
She did well with the news - the only thing is I didn't really think it through. The other kids on the team will prob be talking about it at practice. I should have said she couldn't go because *I* didn't get her physical in on time. (she knows you have to have a physical and paper signed by Dr each year). I have to admit that I lie very horribly. (even though my Mom would prob disagree about that one).
She went with us to Jack's game. ..... Jack - Jack has really stepped up lately. Like I said - I've got some kind of malaria-flu-cold thing going and on Thursday night I went to bed early. Bill had a meeting at Jack's school about a field trip they're going on together and before he left he put Jack in charge.
I emerged from my room around 8pm and told Jack I was going to take a bath. "Ok, Mom - Dad said *I'm* in charge". :-) But that stinker really did a GREAT job. He put all the dinner left overs away and cleaned up the table. He READ with Sal and I only heard raised voices once AND he got her water and stuff and put her to bed! I was really impressed and told him so. It's funny how he always wants attention but when you really give it to him he sluffs it off. ;-)
So I'm a little better - I can at least blow the crap out of my nose and sit a couple of hours without coughing so Sal and I are going to attempt the grocery store. She really enjoys that so her weekend wasn't a total bust.
She's really good at knowing that we need fig newtons and granola bars and craisens and even coffee.
