last week Ally didn't sleep one night. It rained all night and the sound of the sump pump kept waking her up. The next day she was very cranky at day care. They even called me to tell me that she had fallen asleep reading. So they woke her up to take her temperature. And she didn't have one. What did I want them to do? DUH! Let her go back to sleep. if she can sleep in a room full of 2 year olds, she's obviously tired.
Anyway, I left work to take her home so she could have a nice long nap, but that failed miserably. She woke up screaming her freakin' head off. She said her belly hurt. She screamed for about 15 minutes before I called Rob to ask his advice. We decided to take her to the ER just in case. I mean she wouldn't stop screaming!! So I loaded her up, and went to pick him up from work. She quit screaming about alfway there, but we went ahead and took her anyway, because she said her belly still hurt. Once there we were informed that an axillary temperature wouldn't suffice, and we had to have oral of anal. Ally wouldn't open her mouth. Poor kid. I had no part in it. Rob held her still for the nurse. Ally blamed him. That evennig I heard something I thought I'd never hear coming from my kid's mouth:
"Daddy put it in my butt and it made me sad. I didn't want him to"
I had to make sure and tell the day care what had happened the next day so that they wouldn't call DCFS on us when she told everyone about it. But, she will tell you herslef that the next time, she will open her mouth and lift her tongue when we tell her to. Hard lesson to learn. Funny though.
Oh yeah, she quit acting sick and started to answer inconsistantly about where she hurt, so we left before we even saw a doctor. She was fine
