Very mixed emotions.

oh man - what a morning already
Mikhaila's got a cough and it's raining, so of course she's not going to White Plains, meaning I'm not going
I'm supposed to meet my vet there though, to pick up Drache, damn!
so I kept going to the rescue, to see whether I could catch Sean loading up, because I didn't want to just call and ask whether he would bring back Drache for me
of course he won't say no, but I feel like I'm dumping on him and I want to express that . . .
I ended up scooting over there three times in the rain - way too early of course, but I found some great loot in a street corner trash can on the last trip, so it wasn't a waste
finally Mikhaila pointed out to me that he probably brought everything to his house last night and is leaving from there, so I ended up calling him
I feel so bad about not going and talking to the vet myself

Wayne, what a wonderful find. I know it's hard but it's also an amazing gift. I can't imagine how it would feel to go thru my parent's house... a non ending flood of memories and emotions.

Rhea, so sorry you can't go to the expo!! Can't you just put Mikhaila in an extra tank and secure the lid so you can go??

it's not even that I want to go
I'm exhausted and the only reason I was going to go was because of Drache and the vet, but I feel awful about not showing up for that
I mean, it's probably not a really big deal for Sean, since he's got to go anyway, but I still feel like I'm taking advantage of him
maybe I should soothe my conscience by bringing the rescue folks some yummy baked goods some time next week

Rhea, you're worrying too much again. Although I'm sure the baked goods will be greatly appreciated!
Seriously, it sounds like you've been friends with Sean a long time, and friends don't mind helping out at all. I've found that most people out there are very sympathetic when it comes to last minute changes of plans due to sick kids. It's a normal part of parenthood, and no one will fault you for it. If I had a nickel for every time that's happened to me............

[Lori P]

Yeah. What Anji said! No need to feel bad-- Sean will understand. You help him a lot, too. :-)

I stopped into the shop to see Lorena, his girlfriend
she didn't seem to think it was a big deal and I feel a bit better - soooo tired though
Mikhaila seems fine right now - just the occasional coughing fit
the stupid thing is that now that she's in 5th grade, too many absences could make it hard to get into the public middle school of her choice, so I'm super cautious the moment it looks like she might be catching something
I better go nap now

[infernalis]

Get well soon everyone.

[reptile3]

Oh Rhea I hope you & your kids get better!!

I have something (laryngitis & or Mono) my voice is horrible, I have it, & I loose it. I am have been sooo unbearably tired. I slept so much this weekend.

Tomorrow, calling doc!

Today the kids were out front playing, my son ran in the house yelling CRASH!

This kid was perfectly fine, only his car suffered.
