monday again?

so, it's monday again. for some reason this day keeps coming back week after week. and to tell you the truth i'm not liking it one bit! so as mentioned in previous post, i have the hardest time getting motivated on monday mornings and it seems as though my kids know it. why is it that sickness seems to hit at like 4 in the morning? someones' hair is not right? clothes too tight, shoes too loose? why o why? does anyone know?
so this morning was just like any other- jess is standing in my room crying at 4am burning hot and telling me her throat hurts... argh! so we head to the kitchen, break out the flashlight {which has now blinded me} and i'm playing doctor once again, this time through slits for eyes. sure enough it is red with those really cool white pockets of funk again. didn't we just do this 2 weeks ago? some advil and back to her bed. i try to get back to sleep, which usually happens at about 6:15 and my alarm goes off at 6:30. wow, that 15 minutes was so helpful. boy do i feel refreshed and ready for the day!
so, i'm now standing in the kitchen trying to make lunches and miss hormone comes up with an attitude {i know, it's hard to believe} and then proceeds to complain about i don't know, EVERYTHING... from her sweatshirt, to her shoes to her ponytail that isn't laying just right! i tell her to be quiet because others are sleeping, which i don't think she hears over her griping and continues to complain until i tell her to shut her mouth before i *&!@# her! then i get {wait for it} the look-glare-sneer, i know, i'm getting mad at her for no reason at all- how dare me.
so i get jess back into the dr and sure enough, the dr thinks it's strep again or possibly mono. take her to the lab for a throat swab and some blood work, have to threaten her with her life if she doesn't sit still. the lab tech tells her if she moves it will hurt tons more, have to just about hold her down, she lets out a small scream {not too bad for jess, maybe it was the death threats i was whispering in her ear} and we are on our way. drop off yet another prescription for her at the pharmacy. all this by 8:30am- wow! i hope this isn't the start of a eventful week, i won't hold my breath though! so, how's your monday?
