Owie...Ouch...Oh My!

Owie!!! My poor kiddos! Call it attack of the slacker mom who is just struggling to keep her head above water the past couple years I guess! (Gee...nothing else on my plate...move from Miami to Idaho, hubby deployed to Korea, a move to Texas, hubby deployed to Iraq, surgery and ICU for me, a move to Maryland...I know, excuses...excuses) *sigh*

Anyways...the kids are getting ready to go to YW camp (I CANNOT believe my BABY goes into YW in less than a month) and Scout camp, and they needed their physicals and immunizations checked. Good grief...what a miserable experience for them! Missy needed SIX shots! Look at her poor arms:


Three on one side and three on the other! She about wiped out their Bugs Bunny supply of Band-aids. (Which is actually kind of funny I just realized--a few weeks ago I made her watch "Looney Tunes" when she informed me at Six Flags she had never watched Bugs Bunny and Daffy--Poor underpriveleged child--we had to have an improptu YouTube remedy!) She was still smiling though when she got home. She said she didn't cry--just said "OUCH" a lot!

Battle wounds! Maybe they didn't dare complain since they know I have to shoot insulin twice a day LOL! Kimmy had sat and told them how HUGE the needle was and HOW MUCH is was going to hurt (gotta love big sisters) so maybe it paled in comparison to her stories?


Stevie just looks Hoo-ah with his--he only got 3 bandaids--outdone by his little sister! We babied them appropriately...lots of hugs and kisses and even took them to the movies tonight to see "Clash of the Titans" It will give them something different than their owies to complain about since it didn't follow the Greek Mythology very much. As the kids said, "It has Perseus and Zeus...well, that's about it!"

That is no fun :( Hope you enjoyed the movie and that made up for all the shots. I too hate having shots.
