You may never hear from him again
By hissychick | April 2, 2009
It’s been a long week, one that has seen A spend two nights in hospital with a mystery virus (we’re talking an almost 40 degree fever that did not come down for sixteen hours)and from which she has bounced back to her farking four self of late. Today’s highlight was having I hate you and I’m never going to do what you ask me to do screamed into my face. Almost makes E’s first forays into the terrible twos with throw down tanties and indignant squealing look cute by comparison. Her double ear infection certainly pales in contrast to her older sister’s oh-dear she-has-a-petechial-rash-in-conjunction-with -uncontrollable-fever-we need-to-subject-the-child-to-blood-and-urine-tests-and-a-drip stat* malaise.
So it’s not exactly hard to understand that my sleep deprived and stressed out self is a tad over it right now.
However all is not lost. Mr hissychick has taken it upon himself to cheer me up. By cheer me up I mean give me an affectionate pat on the bum as he walks past. “It’s a boy hug” he gleefully tells me, oblivious to the thunderous look on my face.
The vacant block next door is far too obvious a place……
*Let us not speak of the emergency ward stuff up where a doctor checked off that she had been examined but had in fact was not seen for six hours after admission, during which time I had the pleasure of soothing my terrified child when an eighteen year old screaming in agony from a bowel obstruction was admitted into the paed bed next to ours. The very same hospital that failed to diagnose my ectopic pregnancy six and a half years ago, not once, but twice. Never again.

Hope the kids are better now. Sigh….the pain when they are ill!

Hope everyone gets better soon. I shan’t complain about my lack of sleep now; that’s nothing compared to what you guys are going thru!

Posted by: JLow on April 3rd, 2009 at 4:24 pmHehehe_ i have images of you at 2am in the morning with a torch in your mouth and stomping on a shovel as you dig. Telling “him” to “jump in the bloody hole and be quiet”
Posted by: Simone on April 3rd, 2009 at 6:54 pmOh… so sorry to hear that.
Hope all is well now.
It is hard to get back to work when a big part of our heart and the pre-occupation of our mind is on our kids.
