Poor Chickie. I hope she feels better soon. I had mono when I was 14 and it was truly yucky.

When I was 12, I was sitting in the living room, talking to my parents about something, and all of a sudden my Dad says, “Barbara, that child needs to start wearing a bra.” I blushed sixteen shades of red and blurted out, “but I AM wearing one.” And then I fled. Dad and I didn’t make eye contact for the rest of the day. That memory still makes me wince.

I was feeling generally unwell and went back to the doctor this week. My throat hurts, my ears hurt, and I just feel icky. It turned out that my ears and throat are fine, but I have a UTI. The body can be odd sometimes at how it manifests an illness.

I hope she’s feeling better soon.

Um, maybe PMS? My daughter turns completely useless a few days before her period, and she was 11 when she started. (And by useless I mean tired, grumpy, malingering, peaked, weary, and oh, with the weepy).

Hate to add that as a possibility, but it’s our reality.

And even more awesome when she and I cycle the same week.

Isn’t it insulting when you finally get to the clinic after ruling out everything a mom can diagnose, and the doc (or asst) disses you like that? I’m assertive, too; if the kid’s ear hurts, he means something’s up. If the other kid’s complaining of sinus pain, she’s already waited the prerequisite two weeks. Give her the Z-pak already.

Ah yes see, I’m pretty sure you can also catch mono by sharing drinks, or lollipops, or things like that too no? It definitely sounds like it.

Ohhhhhhh. I’ve been away, enjoying a visit from my sister. Your quip at Want Not makes SO MUCH more sense now!
