having a crappy day here.
So for headstart, baby boy needs a physical and a dental exam. Ok. No problem. They just told us this on Friday, and gave us the physical and dental forms. Today is Tuesday. I haven't got an appt for him with either the pediatrician or the dentist YET but they are on my to do list.
1) We're in the process of looking for a new pediatrician, because once again ours is OUT OF THE COUNTRY and I told them this on Friday.
2) The local dentist doesn't take our insurance, so I have to get ahold of the dentist that is almost an hour away that DOES take our insurance, and be sure that I have the gas $ to get Baby boy there.
3) I was just told we needed these things on FRIDAY so give me a chance to get it done, people.
So we take Baby Boy to his first day of school and eat lunch with him. We of course are finished first, and Baby Boy is showing them what a great appetite he has by eating all his fruits and vegetables, so we take that opportunity to sneak out (to avoid the melt down as he'd already said he wanted to go home).
We didn't make it out the door without Miss. M cornering us. I explained Baby Boy won't be in school tomorrow because I have to get blood work done in the morning AND I have my weekly Dr. appt in the afternoon - so there won't be anyone here to get him onto the bus.
Miss M. replies: "he's getting his physical tomorrow then?"
me: Um, no, I have a Dr. appt. His physical isn't scheduled yet.
Miss M. : OK well he needs that physical and dental appt ASAP
me: well, Miss B said we have until mid September, and we are having to work around a few things
Miss M: well, he needs a hemo and a lead test.
me: he needs a whatta what?!
Miss M: was he in wic?
Me: yes
Miss M: Ok I can get the hemo from them, but you need to get his Dr. to write down his lead levels for me and get that dental appointment as soon as possible.
me: staring blankly
E: and this is why we withdrew the last kid! first day of school and already it's nag nag nag!
on the way to the car...
me: *still trying to figure out what the heck just happened*
E: *grumbling* this is why we took A out. It was nag nag nag all the time. Even if you had those scheduled I bet they would find something else to nag about. We shouldn't have put him in. We should have just stuck to our original plan and did pre-school at home. Stupid school. Don't think about what we've got going on, and you're having a baby soon, and we're supposed to work all this in before the baby arrives..
me: *jogging to keep up* I guess we can take him back out, but what a waste of time...
E: no, leave him in for now, but if they are going to start this crap already - well, we'll see.
aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh the headache.
And, to top it off, our Bourbon Red tom kicked the bucket today, and this morning DD and I had to chase a chicken hawk off the top of our coop.
And my FIL was down nagging for pie.
