Last year we took all five kids to get flu shots.
Sydney kicked the nurse administering the shot in the stomach....the nurse's reaction was justified and not nice.
The doctor came in and looked flustered and unhappy and asked if we could somehow split them all up.
People laughed at us as we left.
THIS YEAR...when I called I asked if we could have the mist. They were out. I described our last visit with the flu shots and hoped that she would magically find 5flu mists behind a sharps container or a thermometer.
She apologized.
We didn't tell the kids until today that we were getting flu shots.
We stopped at Walgrenes so that they could watch how brave I was when I got my shot.
Sydney went into a panic as the pharmacist was putting my bandaid on and started crying.
Both babies pulled several bottles of vitamins off of the shelves.
When we were called back at the doctors office both babies IMMEDIATELY started screaming bloody murder.
The 3 older ones were in a hyper frenzy.
The nurse tried to talk to me a couple of times but couldn't hear my response and failed to read my lips and her frustration showed all over her face.
She left and returned and asked us if we'd rather have mists instead of the shots. wha ? wha did you say ?
GUYS...WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SHOTS....YOU GET THE MIST.
Syd understood.
The boys thought that the nurse was going to put the needle in their nose.
The babies were screaming too loud to listen or understand.
Everyone got a sucker and we left.
The nurse just called to tell me that Ryan and Cameron need a booster. I didn't understand why they would single those two out...we did the same thing with all 5 kids.
She finally realized that it was a mistake and wished me a good day.
I'm happy. Feeling slightly more protected and excited to take the older kids to see Mega Minds today.
aaaah. It's a good day !
