One of those days...bangs head against wall...repeatedly...

You know the saying 'when it rains, it pours'...well, it's true.  Fate, the fickle bitch, always seems to serve bad stuff in spades.

First, my daughter has been on-again, off-again, sick since Friday.   Let's just call this 'mystery illness with a fever, horrendous breath, loss of appetite, and severe grouchiness.'  Not pleasant in a two year old that already has a stubborn streak a mile long.  On top of this, she had to go to the local Children's hospital for a test on her kidneys (she has kidney/urinary reflux) and had to be sedated and catheterized for a series of x-rays called a VCUG (google it...it really sounds very unpleasant.)

Next...I had to make a pediatric neurology appointment for my five year whose migraines have increased from once every 3 months or so to once a month.  Yay, we get to get a CT scan.  I'm hoping sedation is an option since 1) he's autistic 2) he has sensory issues, and 3) he separates from me quite poorly.

Now throw in the fact that mommy...ie...moi...has depression and this winter has been a bitch on my mood swings, and that makes for a very frustrated person right now.

And the cherry on top...which normally wouldn't bother me that much (really, it wouldn't)...I got a three paragraph review criticizing an OC character name in one of my fics.  Considering it was a first chapter review, and the fic is currently ten chapters, there isn't much I could do about changing the name.  And that would be assuming that I want to...and no, I don't.  I researched that name for a whole day, and am very much happy with it.

All I am asking for right now is just a little bit of normal.  No sick kids, no specialist appointments, no hubby working overtime.  Then I could deal with any reviews I receive with my usual 'who gives a fuck' when I disagree.

If you actually made it through this rant...bravo...I'll give you a virtual medal.  Thank you for letting me vent...
