Mean Mama

Okay, I felt like the meanest mom today. My 4 1/2 year old got her school shots for kindergarten next year. She got TWO in each leg. She just sat there and watched the nurse do it. I thought she was very brave, she barely even flinched. Then as we are walking out she says, "Mom I need a drink." I looked at her and she looked green around the gills - poor thing. I helped her get a drink at the fountain then I held her (feet raised) until she had a little more color. Her dad is really sensitive to that stuff too.

I babied her the rest of the day... mommy guilt is awesome for the kids.

I had a diabetic student once and the school nurse came in to talk about what it was. She pulled out a needle to show the kids and bam, I had one of my students on the floor in a dead faint. Luckily the school nurse was there! I felt so bad for the little girl. She must of hit her head on her way down because she had a whopping headache when she came to. Needless to say, I take the pale and green gills look seriously.

BTW I haven't seen a lot of updated posts from my friends - nothing going on? I miss hearing from you all.
