Why Me

We a great week last week while the kids were on spring break. We went to Animal Kingdom on Monday and checked out a local flea market (it of course was mostly touristy type items) Tuesday we had a quiet day at home working on Elaine's diaroma for the Sunshine state readers contest. Wed we had the girls first communion pictures taken and went to dinner(they chose wings) only my kids!!! Thursday we loaded (an I mean loaded up the van) and headed to clearwater to the beach for the day. It was a first for the girls and they had a good time. Elaine was ready to go and headed right out in the water with Dave, they went all the way out to the bouys a few times. Meghan was afraid(I often wonder how I got such a fearful child) Kathy loved the sand and threw it happily for hours yelling "yea" each time she did, but when it came to the water she was not interested at all. She did not like the waves at all, Dave and I took her out in the water a few times and she was not a happy camper, I tried to let her stand were the waves would just wash over her feet and she did not like that, in fact we discovered she could climb me very quickly!!!

On Friday we went to DeLeon State Park, it has a natual spring for swimming. It was pleasant and refreshing after the salt water beach the day before, and Kathy loved the water this day. We didnt get to eat at the sugarmill like we wanted because we got there so late. Compliments of holiday weekend traffic what should have taken us an hour took over 3 hours to get there. So we spent about 3 1/2 hours in the spring,swimming,playing, sitting on the big innertube and then headed home.

Saturday we rested and finished up on Elaine's diaroma for school.

Sunday, Easter Sunday we were planning a nice quiet needed day of board games, Movies whatever the girls wanted as it was the end of spring break for them, and Kathy, Meghan and Mom wake up feeling under the weather. I cooked us a nice simple Easter dinner. Ham, curried potato salad and fresh green beans. We enjoyed the peace and quiet!!

Monday the kids were back to school and Kathy and I were happy as we slept alot of the morning away(both feeling kinda crappy!!)

Tuesday kids off to school and Kathy and I slept again alot of the morning. The kids had their first play practice after school and I didnt need to pick them up till 6pm. During the day Dave started to feel pretty sick too. He went to work and I went off to a parent meeting for the play. Needless to say we pulled back in the drive at the same time, he had been sent home for being sick. Now at this point I am thinking ok we should start feeling better and no one is..I'll give it another day. (I hate going to the doctors if we can let something run its course at home)

Wed the older girls both have over 100 temps sore throats and coughs...so here we are family PJ sick day. Once again I am thinking ok I have been sick since Sun enough is enough..I should be getting better!!! WRONG another sleepless couging miserable sore throat night(I am talking the sore throat where you feel like  you are swallowing rust nails) So this morning I called the doctor and four of us have appointments at 2pm today.

I remember when a doctor would see one or two in a family and treat all if the symptoms were the same...I guess those days are no more. I know everyone is sick, but it kills me to have to pay over 100 for all to be seen and then have topay for everyones scripts. Why do we pay for health care coverage when it still costs so much out of pocket?? I just dont get it!!!!!!

OK enough of my ranting..sorry all
