Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My poor wife, my poor little boo.
I really can't imagine a less desirable combination than an emergency dental situation with my child involving vomitous antibiotics with an added plumbing issue (in our computer area, btw).
I, on the other hand, am having a lovely time in Pittsburgh with my oldest friends, attending a beautiful wedding by the Allegheny River and off to see a PIrates game today.
But I'll be home soon, honey! I'll do the Eat The Yucky Medicine Game with Matilda.

And I am going to go walk Calli's cat and pretend like I never worried at all. These are not the droids you're looking for.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aaaand... she just wet the bed. Our big bed. JIMINY CHRISTMAS, UNIVERSE. Stop sending the ducks; I am well and truly nibbled.
Heading back up to urgent care at 10, because the advice nurse thinks they may be able to give her a shot instead of the oral stuff. But first, clearing out our nerdhole, since my mom pointed out that the busted pipe is in a really inaccessible spot and there's no way the maintenance guy will be able to get at it unless the desk and computer are out of the way.

HAI I AM NOT DED DEADLINE MONSTERZ EATEN ME FROM MA BOTTOM.
And I am getting some coffee (PLEASE GOD COFFEE), and will attack my email, amyth, and send you my info. You may spank me and give my wonky computer the stinkeye.
I am a nogood awful communicator who fell into the pool of copyediting for the last 5 days and have promptly drownded between it and the kiddo's last overpacked with happenings week. I will give Matilda her next 20 doses in penance.

Thrive to spite them
JZ I'm sorry you and Matilda have to go through this.
The Urgent Care doctor should have known that the oral version isn't for kids and set you up with another delivery method in the first place.
You're not a bad parent, just getting medicine in your sick kiddo the best you can. I was terrible about taking medicine when I was a little kid and at times my parents had treat it more like pilling a cat than giving medicine to a child.
