Bad day!!!

First of all, I realize I will come across as a total B**ch. No need to point out the obvious.

A) Spent 7 and a half hours in the ER with my 10 year old who had a 104 fever for 24 hours but no other symptoms.
Rushed out in the morning to the ER without eating because I was busy worrying about my daughter. And could not eat all day because they would not let her eat. I couldn't leave her, and I couldn't eat in front of her because she was starving too.
C) TOM is in town and I have PMDD and PCOS.

The ER doctors are stupid. First the lady doc came in, checked her ears and breating. Nothing else. She then said, "I don't know why she has a fever, sometimes there is no reason. I'll go write you a perscription." And she walked out, left me standing there dumbfounded, mouth on the floor. A guy doc came in and said he was just going to double check her. He did a more thourough exam, including pushing on her belly and discovered she had pain in the lower right. NICE. We had the CT, bloodwork, and urine. Turns out, appendix were fine. She ended up taking a big poop and the pain went away. But her WBC is low. What does that mean? Nobody knows. We went to the PCP. He said she has WBC in her urine. He gave antibiotics to treat a UTI and we will go back Monday to retest everything. Hopefully, thats all it is. But she has been spiking fevers every month since December. They all said its just a coincidence. (But I bet they have a pill for it:huh: )

I was doing fine till around 7 PM after we waited around Walgreens for our perscription for 30 minutes. After we left the hospital I stopped at Pei Wei so my daughter could eat. I had a salad. I felt a little better, well actually alot better. But by the time we were waiting on the meds, I started to feel a little anxious.... One of my TOM symptoms that warn me to get out of public places and home where I can be insane in private. I stayed calm and suggested that we pick up a chocolate bar on the way home. Walgreens didn't have anything that was dairy free. (allergy) So I drove to Meijers where I know they have them in the gluten free section.

This was where i lost it. 3 FREAKIN DOLLARS FOR A BAR OF CHOCOLATE??????:explode: They were never that much before! Trust me, I do this often. I know I don't need it. I know I won't die without it. But (Ladies, you know) I'm PMSing and I want chocolate just like every other woman out there. My reaction was simply to feel totally taken advantage of. Its chocolate minus the milk, why is that 3 times the price of a stupid Hershey bar? Because it was in the gluten free section? Because my allergy means I should pay more for my food? (I know chocolate isn't food, but every dang thing is 2- 3 times more money!) It is really bothering me right now! I feel like someone is totally capitalising off of my misery! I didn't buy it. But I did almost drive 4 miles out of the way to go to the health food store where they are 2 dollars. I'm aware enough that I know I need to be home now, away from other humans, lol. Seriously!

After deciding not to buy the bar, we went to pay for our ketchup. Why was there only 4 lanes open and every single one full of people with over flowing carts? The line to the self scan was backed up because of those morons who take the full shopping carts to the self scan and act like they don't see the sign that says 15 items or less. And the cashier running the lane never says a word. Plus, why do people walk slower when I'm PMSing? Or stop to talk to someone IN THE DOORWAY!:grumble: Then we finally make it outside and through the crowded slow-walkers and while stepping into the parking lot some guy in a soopped up fancy smacy car decides to punch the gas and show off missing catching my daughters foot in his tire by, like, half an inch!

Anyway. I made it home safely. I'm venting here. And I'm going to watch a season of Friends with my daughter. I have no chocolate. But I do have a bottle of wine for aftter she doses off.......:drinker: Thank you for listening (reading)
