I've just been a bit of an idiot in the Doctors

DS is not a well little boy today - last night I came home from work at 6pm to find him snuggled up to DH, didn't even look up when I walked in which is very unusual. He was boiling hot and kept drifting into a half sleep. I asked DH when he'd last had calpol - he replied "this morning, thought I'd better save the other dose for bedtime" Angry - WHY doesn't he know you can give it 4 times a day!!! He looks after DS and DD 3 days a week FFS!!!

ANYWAY, I took him straight to the doctors who were fab and gave him calpol, ibuprofen, amoxycillin and sponged him down with me until his temp dropped.

We had a very bad night with him, but he just wants Mummy (typical) so I am knackered today - all day I've been feeling worse and worse with similar symptoms to DS (VERY sore thoat) and ended up taking DD to Rainbows and then, when driving past the Doctors, screeching into the carpark, going into surgery, bursting into tears and asking if I could see ANYONE! That is very out of character for me.

Our fantastic practice nurse was very soothing and sorted me out with a throat spray etc but I feel such an idiot for bursting into tears over a sore throat!! I think its becuase I'm shattered after last night and know that tonight's going to be the same. I feel a bit better now, just Blush

Don't be Blush like you say your tired. When your feeling unwell yourself it's hard to be the super mum you normally are. Take it easy on yourself.
Hope you all feel better soon.
