My husband We live with my in laws and him, his dad, and his cousin all carpool to work since they work at the same place. Well mom is on 9s at work so she had me wake him up at 4:45 this morning instead of 5 because she woke dad up and he was gonna leave shortly. Well the husband got all kinds of pissed off because I made him get up and out of bed 5 mins before 5 after waking him up 10 mins prior to that. Way to start my day...
The nearby allergy and asthma clinic. And this is long. I'm sorry.
My son had a severe allergic reaction to something in late August. We suspect it's some sort of tree nut, but won't know until he gets testing. They couldn't get us an appointment until September 22, so we've spent a month keeping all nuts out of our kitchen and giving our son a daily antihistamine at their recommendation.
They were supposed to send us new patient paperwork, but never did. I called twice asking when they were going to send it, and they kept saying "Its in the mail!"
Late yesterday afternoon (Monday) I get a voicemail telling me my son can't have antihistamines for five days before his appointment (Friday), but I was sick yesterday and in and out of sleep for a good portion of the day, so I didn't even know the voicemail was there until I woke up this morning. Regardless, they don't tell me he can't have the antihistamine until late in the afternoon on the first day he is supposed to go without. Even if I'd been awake and answered when they called, he could have already taken the medication by that time. This information was brand new to me. This was the first time they'd had any communication with me aside from me calling them several times about his paperwork.
When I finally got the message, my husband had already left for work so I have no idea if he gave my son the antihistamine yesterday. When I called the clinic back to confirm his appointment, they not only tell me I have to come in 45 minutes prior to his appointment because they never bothered to send his paperwork, but that if I find out my husband gave him his medicine yesterday, I'll have to reschedule an appointment we have been waiting a month for. His preschool is already on my case because they understandably need to know his specific allergies. On top of that, because they didn't send his paperwork and I have to come in early, the appointment is now conflicting with when I need to drop my daughter off at school.
I'm probably over reacting, but I am so angry and frustrated over this. This should not have happened.
@firefliesandfjords that is unacceptable. They should have told you when you scheduled the appointment to not give him any antihistamines before his appointment. And the paperwork is just annoying. Snail mail is slow, but it's not that bad. They should have been able to put it in the mail yesterday and gotten it to you before Friday so you don't have to go so early. So unprofessional. ETA you should call them back and see if they can email or fax it to you (if you have access to that). C'mon people it's 2017.

@sandbar517 Thats a good idea - I should've thought of that! I'll ask them if they can do that if I find out my husband didn't give him his medicine yesterday. He forgets sometimes, and since I usually do it, maybe he didn't remember to. Otherwise we'll be waiting god knows how long.
My hips are stupid twat waffles today... they are killing me! Body pillow folded in half seems to help take the edge off at night. But they still suck!
@firefliesandfjords ugh! Those asshats! Raise hell. That is not ok. I get that scheduling sucks. I have been there. You cant make everyone happy, but his isn't something that shouldnt be sat on for a month. And then to neglect telling you about the meds before hand is just ridiculous.
This week I am the twatwaffle. I am in such a bad mood that if I were given half a chance I would probably rip somebody's throat out. I'm a pretty passive person so its usually hard to get me to this point but I feel that if someone looks at me wrong I am going to come unglued. I really don't like this feeling, which is making me even more irritable.
@yesthisiskim0401 I hope your appointment went well. I get very anxious too (esp with this pregnancy).
@firefliesandfjords so sorry they dropped the ball. I hope you can keep your son's appointment as scheduled.
@Kendrajos my hips are always so tight. Though I am the least flexible person.
@duck_duck_goose I hope you are feeling less irritable soon! My emotions come in waves. I take so much out on my husband when I am angry, so I am trying super hard to keep myself in check.
My vent: My friend relies on me to read and edit her research papers. She has a big one coming up (40 pages) and I feel like garbage and really don't want to edit it. I feel bad not doing it (I have been reading/editing her writing for years) and haven't told her I am pregnant yet. She is getting her PhD (hilariously she may be done in May--I hope I'm not a doormat and editing at 8/9 months) and I feel like I should be getting half the diploma ha
I have a co-worker that is 24 and has no children. Yet she legit thinks she knows EVERYTHING about getting pregnant and being pregnant and being a parent. I want to shake her and tell her she doesn't know Jack and she should keep her mouth shut. She's not even married or trying to get pregnant. She's just a know it all. Ugh.
My TW this week is definitely my MIL, who I usually get along with. Her response to our 5th pregnancy was to put her head in her hands and say "oh my gosh that is so many children".....I kept trying to explain our reasoning for having a 5th kid, and she was utterly contemptuous. My pregnancy hormones must be raging, because I am beyond pissed at her right now. Every other person I've told so far is extremely happy for us. Guess who's not invited to come back for a good long time?

She'll learn when she has her own kids. Reality hurt so good:-)

TW are my students who think they don't have to show to classes to retain their solos for Nutcracker. It should go without saying that hard work, and attendance are necessary.
My TW is defo my FSIL, Fi got drunk and accidentally slipped that we're pregnant (We agreed we weren't going to tell anyone just yet, he's still processing it all) and she immediately went into does mum know?! Long story short she somehow got him to go to their parents at like 1 in the morning and tell them I'm pregnant and at this point he's crying his eyes out because he was drunk and arguing with his sister and now I'm super pissed off. All his family are gonna remember is him telling them drunk and crying and that just sets up negativity for everything and I'm sure as hell not going to get an apology. Like sorry I didn't realise that we were 16. Ugggh.
Re: TW Tuesday 9/19
It needs to CTFD.
