One Sick Mama :(

I have had a sore throat and my ears have been hurting for the past 4 days. I feel like I am 2 again-but they seriously hurt!!!! Night-time is THE worst. I went the see Dr. King yesterday and took Miss I. with me. I tried explaining before we left that we were going to see the doctor because I was sick..not her. Didn't work-"NO Docker Ting!! NO Docker Ting!!" over and over and over again! Finally, I lied and said we were going to McDonald's (which we were going to do afterwards). That shut her up until we pulled into the office. Then the whining started again. I convinced her that they would be calling MY name, not hers and she started believing me. She freaked out one time in the room, though, when they reached for the blood pressure cuff. She also insisted on sitting on my lap on the examining table...moral support??? And now that it is over, that is all we talk about. "Mommy go Docker Ting. Nose (she tilts my nose up and back-not a nice feeling), ears, mouth, eyes. Mommy sick. Mommy medicine." Over and over and over again. What is it about a 2 year old that makes them want to repeat things for hours?? Anyway, $20.00 later I was told that I couldn't have an antibiotic but I could take Mucinex D twice a day and that the cold would eventually end up in my chest. I have Robitussen WITH CODIENE for that!!! And the best part-the kids and Todd would most likely end up with it too. Luckily, the biggest whiner (I love you, Honey!) of those 3 is getting on a plane on Monday and flying far, far away :)
