Off to UC I went

So last night I had to take the youngest to Urgent Care. He is some what of a hypochondriac so I usually don’t take him to the doctor.

Anyway, his daycare called me at work yesterday and said he hadn’t eaten all day & just wanted to sleep. Poor thing.

So off to UC we went. Of course since we live in Tim Buck Two, I have to drive 25 minutes to get to the closest UC.

We arrive and I was pleasantly surprised that there was NO ONE in the waiting room! Score! We got to see the “doctor”, who was really a PA, right away. I think his name was Greg. Anywho, the youngest has an ear infection and a “very red throat” but the strep test was negative. Bonus – b/c otherwise the Enforcer, Reporter, Wrestler & myself would have to get the strep test too!

As Greg, the PA, wrote the prescription he told me to make sure to have him gargle with warm salt water. He looked up at me after he said that & saw my “are you f**king kidding me” look on my face. Greg then realized that maybe a 4 year old wasn’t going to be able to do that. Ya think??? Greg then advised to just have him drink “really cold drinks” to ease his sore throat. Duh, did I just pay for this?

We left UC and proceeded to the pharmacy to file the Rx for the youngest. While waiting I realized no one had eaten dinner. Crap! So I left the drug store & ran to the grocery store. Thank goodness the Reporter had requested to come along to UC (I am sure to add a chapter to his never ending story on my life) so I made the kiddies stay in the car while I ran in. Hot dogs & brats on the good ol George is what my decision was.
Say it with me – YUCK!

Finally, I got home about 7:45 made “dinner” which only 3 of us ate. I ended up making PB&J sandwiches for the Wrestler & the Youngest.

And with that came the close of another busy day in the life of an “old” 30 year old!
