Ever have one of those days?

You know the type I mean. I wished today was over about an hour after it began.

Let me try to think of some highlights....

The day started off by trying to track down Bre's shot record. Her school did not have a copy of it and they had to have it by Friday. If not then she was not going to be able to return until it was in her file. Sounds like no big deal except for one thing, the lawyer who we hired to take care of her re adoption had it buried in a stack of Chinese paperwork. Once it was located I went by to pick it up. One huge problem though, nothing had been written on her American shot record. Her Chinese record was full of marks but not all had been translated.
When we first brought her back to the States we had blood work done on her to make sure she had been vaccinated and her shots were all up to date. Apparently the nurse had failed to record the results on her new shot record. This left me and the new nurse trying to decipher what she had had and what she hadn't. It did not turn out good for Bre and she had to get a DTP booster.
Now this next part had me laughing and crying at the same time.
When she saw the needle she said, and I quote, "Oh. My. God!" Once the needle went in she screamed "It hurts, it really hurts bad", while huge tears streamed down her face.
At one point this evening she wouldn't even walk cause of the pain but thank goodness for Motrin. She is still complaining some but is up and moving.
Marcus has been having chest pains. My first thought was he has pneumonia again but he said it wasn't his lungs. His chest actually hurt and his heart feels like it is beating too fast.
You got to be kidding me. Surely this kid is not that unlucky to also have heart problems. Anyway the doctor checked him out today and done a couple of tests which came back ok. He said if he keeps complaining then he will refer him to a cardiologist. Sigh.....
My bad 'day' actually started last night when I discovered a nest full of nits on one of the kid's heads. Oh yeah, I'm talking about good old fashioned head lice! I thought well at least I caught it before all 3 got it. While at the doctor's this morning he wrote me a script for medicine to treat it.
I then spent the afternoon de-bugging. I swear I picked nits off for around 2 hours! Anyone who has ever dealt with the little suckers know that it is not easy to get them off. When a lice lays eggs they are actually 'glued' on by some type of super bug glue. It is a very tedious and time consuming task.
Anyway I thought I had it licked when I decided to re check the other 2 kids just to be on the safe side. Of course one of them had it too. Back off to the pharmacy to pick up another
prescription of the stinky concoction to rub all over their head. Not to mention busting my good mommy bubble when I had to call my MIL to ask her to come down and check my head to make sure I was bug free (I am BTW).

So to recap.....
-Had to locate a shot record in a pile of Chinese paperwork
-tried to translate the names of shots that were written in Chinese language characters
-got to hold down a screaming 4 year old so she can get a vaccine
-Oh I just remembered I also had to hold her down so the lab tech could swab her nose to test for the flu since she has been running a fever-she is flu free.
-rub stinky lice medicine into a child's head
-hand pick nits off of said child's head for 2 straight hours
-check other kid's heads again
-back to pharmacy for another bottle of stinky lice medicine
-repeat the application process
-wash and dry all and any items that I can fit in the washer or dryer
-get MIL to pick through my own hair looking for bugs

I am off to ignore the phone and all three kids long enough for a bubble bath.
