Apparently this week CAN get more difficult

I went to pick the kiddos up from daycare today and Tristan ran over to me and started bawling- totally uncharacteristic of him. Ms. Michelle told me he had been "a sad boy all day, cried about everything all day long". I thought maybe he was feeling the stress of what is going on with Mark.

He cried and SCREAMED the entire car ride from daycare to the hospital where we were going to visit Mark. I got the kids upstairs into Mark's room and Tristan was still crying (a painful crying, not whiney), and then I noticed he was pulling on both of his ears. Ding ding....ear infection.

So downstairs we went to the ER. Have you ever tried to keep track of 3 toddlers in an ER, two who are feeling fine and one who won't stop crying because he's in so much pain????? It's not an easy task to accomplish, trying to get him registered to be seen, insurance and all that other crap, all while watching the other 2 trying to keep them under control and comfort the sick one. I broke a sweat long before we ever got called back to get vitals.

I must say that once we got back, we were in an out in 10 minutes- if even that much. I was very impressed, we didn't even wait 2 minutes before the doctor came in, got a prescription for ammoxicillin and then off to tackle the pharmacy. I'll spare you that story because it's just as long and poor Tristan cried the entire time. I felt SOOOOO bad for him.

But I'm really ticked at daycare, really ticked. It's a good thing I have tonight to think it over and calm down before I talked to them about it tomorrow.
What the heck is wrong with them? They call me when cassie scrapes her knee and needs some ice, or when Ry falls down and gets a minor bruise, but when Tristan, who is generally a jolly fellow, is crying ALL DAY LONG nobody thinks to maybe call mom and have her come check it out?!?!?!?!?!?!??? I'm really really ticked they made him suffer all day long and didn't think to call me at all. Ok, I'm done with my vent, thanks for listening if you've made it this far.
