Jean in Newcastle Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I dropped dd off for her second to the last babysitting gig with the rude entitled family. The gigs were preapproved and agreed to and so we will honor our word. Our word is our bond and all that, you know. I don't promise to play nice if I'm left waiting for a half hour again though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Apparently caffeine + my R.A. meds don't mix well. My blood pressure has spiked. It's a medical necessity thing at this point to try to avoid medication switches or adding a new medicine. I don't know if this will do the trick; I think a fair amount of my stress comes from parenting, iykwim. We shall see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He agrees with me 100% and has told dd that. Dd is the one who is unhappy because I am drying up one (of her many) revenue streams. She may also be unhappy because she knows I will not put up with being left outside like that again and I might embarrass her by coming to the door. So. . . if dd doesn't speak up about leaving and if I'm kept waiting again, what exactly do I say? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't know why. I just like them.) I've been caffeine-free before (cardiologist's recommendation). I did it for a while, but I told him that he was asking the impossible as I grew up in southern Pennsylvania and there's Hershey's syrup (Special Dark, please) running in my veins.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Add take ds to the doctor to my tackle list. He's had a bad cold and it is getting worse. It's gone to his chest and with his asthma, this isn't good. I'm starting to wonder about bronchitis. He told me that he's coughing up some yellow stuff. But then I also wonder if I'm going to take him and that they will just say that it's a virus so there is nothing to be done. This is the second day he's calling in sick. He's worried about losing his job. But I don't know how he can do his job if he can barely be upright, he's coughing so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Good-ish morning. Today I must confess the painful reality that I am sick. It is nothing terrible-just a nasty sore throat and sinuses-but tomorrow we leave for State Capital. So, today, the house must be cleaned, the laundry must be done, copious notes directing animal care must be written, and bags must be packed. :blink: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
