A NEW HOLIDAY...PARENTS NIGHT OFF...KIDS PET PEEVES DAYS (GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR MIND) RUN! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! LOL



Well, I did have a first today. Let's see if we can put our firsts in orders. But, I guess since all of them are FIRSTS, then they will always be first, no matter how they are listed: lol!

The first of the first is....my daughter (age 13) has pneumonia. Now, that is a first for our family.
I'm still scratching my head, wondering how did I not see it was coming? She had been coughing for the past 2 weeks. hmmmm..... It's a good thing I am not a nurse, isn't it? I took her to see Dr. McCollum in Smyrna, exrays revealed to us that my sweet, know it all, 13 yo gal, who for the past 2 weeks had refused to take medicine has pneumonia. We are treating it with a Z-pack, and Mulcinex DM Max Strength. She is still coughing, chest still hurting, and it's been since Friday. Today, is Sunday. hmmm..... I would've thought she would be improving more. Now? what shall I do?
My first pet peeve is I hate going to dr's who just love to ask, "have you taken over the counter meds" !! Well, Duh! Of course, we have taken the OTC meds, when I could get her to take them! Who wants to come to the office, spend hours there with three girls, just to be told to go home and take mucinex DM which is sold over the counter! If I take the trouble to see the Dr., please give me strong meds which will knock this stuff out! It's bizarre and I do not understand why the Dr's do that! It's my biggest pet peeve right now.

Second pet peeve....why, do the children, and the hubby, go to the kitchen and eat the last Ding Dong...then instead of throwing the empty box into the garbage, they put the empty box back into the cabinet. Then, Bebe comes and complains, "Mom, we have no cereal." Really? Because I just saw 6 boxes of cereal on the top shelf, in our pantry. Guess what she told me? you will never guess....well maybe you will because I am sure it has happened in your house! "Mom, those boxes are EMPTY!" Oh say it ain't so, Joe! I, then, asked a silly queston, "why would anyone put the empty boxes back into the pantry? When I looked in the the pantry on grocery day, there were 6 boxes of cereal. " Anyhoo, I am sure one day we will know why the kids think it's easier to take a few extra steps to put the empty box in the pantry, when the garbage can is much closer. Then, one day, their children will be putting the empty boxes back into the pantry like their ancesters before them. lol! The cycle never ends. Let it end with us! Please????

I have nother pet peeve, but it is about my hubby and I do want to stay married to him so I will SHUT UP! lol!

Do I have a pet peeve from Alana, my 10 yo? hmmm....let me think! Ah hah! My biggest PP for her is this... Let me ask you a question first....when God allowed man to build closets, beds, and dressers...what do you think He wanted us to do with them? For the life of me, I will never figure it out but I think my daughter is a dyslexic cleaner. Is there any hope for her? For some unknown reason, this child thinks it's cool to put all of her clothes, whether they are clean or dirty, UNDER the bed! Under the bed? I don't get it? As for the dresser...clothes are supposed to be inside the drawer, but not Alana's dresser, no siree bob! She takes her clothes and places them on top of the dresser, under the dresser, around the dresser. You get the picture. I am waiting for her to come to ask me...."Mom what are those rectangle things? Let's not even go over why she thinks we are supposed to throw the clothes in the floor, rather than putting them on hangersin the closet. No wonder she cannot find anything to wear!

Good gracious! let's pray everyone will be in a good mood and actually get in the car at a decent time for school. That is another story to tell one day! ROFL!!!!!
