I am sitting here crying....what a day!

So this is day three with no voice....which is awesome teaching kindergarteners with too, I might add

so I wake up with a headache today - and no voice again....booo

then one of my kids at school has a bad day - he colors out of the lines on the frog project we are doing....and freaks out (I think I can still hear him screaming and crying about "the FRRRROOOOOOGGGGGG") - I try for 20 minutes to explain its ok....but to no avail...then as stipulated to do once I tell him its ok, I leave him to "relax" and calm down on the rug - where he spends another 15 shreiking I plead with him to go to lunch with his "friends" and finally he gets it under control...I pop another more tylenol cursing the fact I am still pumping and can't go home and have a drink later.....then I don't get to pump anyway b/c I make sure said child who freaked out is ok....

I stay an extra 1/2 hr at school doing book graphs and double checking running records.....dh thankfully goes and picks up dd at daycare and we meet up at home.....pull into the driveway together....

I come home to fil telling me he coughed up blood...that is my 74 yr old fil who has a heart condition and lots of other health problems...but casually mentions he did this like its nothing....I freak, dh freaks, we spend a half hr convincing him he should go the er....

I am also taking care of dd who is awesome and so easy - she can always sense when things are off and is on her best behavior...she makes dh and I smile...we formulate a plan.....dh will take fil to hospital - i will take care of dd...put her to sleep, feed her, etc....and off he goes...

they get to the hospital - the one dh is afraid of since his mom passed away there (and numerous other people we know have gone in and out of fine since but he still has the fear, I guess we both do..) but naturally the one fil agrees to go to....fi;s' blood pressure is through the roof....they put him in a room and now my poor dh (and his friend who i called) still sit waiting with fil while they try to figure out why he coughed up blood, and is having more trouble breathing than normal.....

stupidly, i go online and look through old pics of dd when she was born...my baby...now she is getting so big....i think of my day and type through my tears.....

thanks for letting me get it out....

Awwww.... sweetie- I am so sorry you had such a rough day. You can have a glass of wine you know, even if you are still pumping.

You've definitely had a rough day! If I were you I would pump whatever is left, and then opour yourself a big glass of wine. I promise you one glass is more than fine even if you fed DD not too long after. You definitely deserve a drink!
