I Should Have Listened To The Little Booger!
Published Date: October 17th, 2007Category: Family Life, Marsha
M3- Mommy, my head hurts and my throat is sore
Mommy- You will be ok, you have missed a lot of school this year, just try to make it through the day, you look pretty!
M3- (with total attitude) Fine, but my head hurts and you get to take “Mowtwrin ” when your head hurts can I have some medicine pleeeaaasse?
Mommy- (feeling a bit guilty about sending her to school) Sure and then you can make it through the day. You are tough!
An hour later…
School Nurse- Mrs James?
Mommy- (well shit) Yes, what’s the matter?
School Nurse- I have Syd here in the office and she has a fever of 101.7 and a very bad headache, you are going to need to come pick her up from school please.
Mommy- (guilt pouring from my voice) Sure, I will be right there, tell her I am on my way!
And a half an hour later…
M3- (glaring at me with very angry eyes, that also looked very sick) I told you I didn’t feel well mommy. The nurse said I was right, I am sick with a fever.
Mommy- (crap, crap and crap) Ok sweetie, we will go to the doctor this afternoon!
Damn, I hate when they are right and I feel so darn guilty. And the nurse was just laughing at me, she knew that I knew she was sick. But honestly, because of all her surgeries early in the school year, she has already missed 12 day of school. That is almost half of the year! You can’t blame me for trying. And the kicker is that all 3 are home from school sick today. Party time here at our house, haha.

Oh no!!!
When I was in the second grade, my mother made me go to school although I kept telling her how horrible I felt. During lunch, I spewed ALL over my tray and the table - in front of everyone, including the boy on whom I had a terrible crush. That was, by far, one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. To make it worse, my mom didn’t come to get me right away. When I asked her what took so long she said, “I had to take a shower and do my hair and makeup.”
So don’t feel too bad. At least you made it over there quickly.
OMG, too funny! I guess you didn’t see it as funny at the time. But looking back? I did go right up to get her and believe me I needed a shower. I had been on the elliptical and doing work on the computer all morning, Ali wasn’t even dressed nor were my nephews. I walked my sweaty, oily, nasty butt right in the school with 3 kids in their pj’s at 10:00AM. They probably thought, “the nerve of this women, she is still sitting around her house and probably hasn’t a care in the world”. If only they knew! Haha
