"My Meditation you have Interrupted"

Okay.. so what's up with the title of this blog. Well I could not come up with a name so I let my husband's "star war's" talking yoda decide it. It is a mildly appropriate title becuase I got really sick on Saturday night- well actually very early Sunday morning..... Like 4 am early. I had what seemed like an allergy attack. My eyes were red and watery, my nose was just constantly dripping, and the pressure on my sinus was almost too much to handle. It was weird, because it came on so quickly and so intensely. It turned into a full fledged cold by Sunday with body aches, sinus pressure, the works. So much for my treadmill record... haven't been on it since my 4 days in a row!! Also, Emily was sick last week on Weds, Thurs, and Friday and was sent home from school today. We think she has an ear infection now. So she's sick again. We have a dr's appointment scheduled for tonight for her. I am feeling better and actually was working when the school nurse called me. I got so frustrated with her. She calls and I am at work and she says Emily is complaining about her ear hurting and that I need to come get her. I can hear EMily in the background crying so I say, "Do you want me to talk to Emily" (meaning I want to try and calm her down) and she says "Ummmmmm.... but you need to come get her" I say, "I understand, but can I talk to her to try and calm her down" She's like, "oh.. Okay" SO I talk to Emily and tell her It's okay and that I'll come to get her and to try and calm down" Emily says, "Okay" and hands the phone back to the nurse and the nurse says kind of rude, " Well Emily's crying has been going on for sometime now and you need to come get her" And I'm thinking well, You just called me so how am I suppose to know how long this is been going on and why didn't you call me sooner. WHatever!! I mean I am sensitive so maybe it's just me but I found her manner completely inappropriate. But like I said maybe it's just me. SO I had to ask Danielle if she would take me to pick up EMily and she said yes, (BTW-Danielle, you are such a good friend) so we had to pack her kids up and I had to finish the work I was doing and even so we still left within 15-20 minutes. SO we are almost to the school and the nurse calls me and is Like " It's the school nurse, we are still waiting for you to pick up Emily" and I am like thinking .... OH MY GOD! SO I said in a slightly off tone back... " I was at work, I'm almost there and I got here as fast as I could" I mean... what If I worked an hour away. I mean really.. it was 1:50 when she called it was now like 2:15 and Oh my GOD. Is it just me? So it was just a little bit frustrating, because do they think that I'm not doing everything in my power to get there ASAP. I mean I guess I should have explained that it would take me a 1/2 hr to get there, because I was at work. I will the next time. I mean is there that many stay at home mom's who can just drop everything to get kids in 5 minutes. Seems to me that most parents would need a little time to get their kids from school and the school should be accustomed to it. I don't know. It just brothered me. (Obviously) I need to just let it go and focus on Emily...... SHe's resting right now... It's 4:45 and my MIL is visiting tonight from New Mexico. She's here for a week but is only staying at our house tonight and then the rest of the time she is staying at Jim's house. Her flight is delayed and we don't even know what time she will get in now. So it's turning into a slightly stressful day. Emily was so looking forward to this week.... becuase Grandma was visiting,there is a Valentine Party and a "100 day" party at school tomorrow and she was so upset when I picked her up at school because she will miss them if she needs to be out again. (which it's looking like she will need to be) I'm totally letting the Dr. decide if she should go to school or not tomorrow. It's so hard to know when to send them to school and when to keep them home. I mean if I had it my way, she would be kept home a lot more but then I worry about how much school she is missing! But then they call and you think Okay I should not have sent her. But you can only go with what you think at the time. I mean you have like 30 minutes in the morning to determine if your child is well enough to go to school but no matter what you decide sometimes it's not the right decision and you just have to deal. Like today. Emily seemed well enough to go to school and I decided to send her but I guess that was the wrong decision today. I guess you never know and then the school nurse calls and I feel like a dope for not knowing that I should not have sent her. OH well. Let it go.. right. Right . Anyway, I got to go.... There is a million things to do before Emily goes to the dr and before Pat arrives. So bye for now.
