Things that SUCK...

On the news...
* I-15 was closed Thursday night because of a deadly car accident. The two girls that were killed worked at Loredana's preschool. The were both in their late teens/early twenties.
On the same newscast....
* A male teacher that I worked with at a previous school pled guilty to having sex with two different 14 year old girls.


From my experience...
*Two year olds confined to a bed for three days.
*Two year olds with IVs.
*Two year olds with oxygen tubes in their noses.
*Hospital food- no matter what Tommy tries to say.
*Hospital cots that they give to parents to sleep on at the hospital.
*Five year olds who aren't sick, but spend 8-10hours a day for three days at a hospital where the ONLY fun things to do are- go to the snack machine, play with the hospital bed buttons, and BANG Mylar balloons around the room.
*Parents who get angry at bored five year olds who are stuck in a hospital with nothing to do but go to the snack machine, push buttons and bang balloons.
*Living through all of the above when you are 38 and a 1/2 weeks pregnant and are giving birth at a different hospital- always having that remote possible stress in the back of your mind.

The Bright Side
My Pollyanna thought while experiencing the items listed above:
*It would suck so unbelievably to have a terminally ill child where the listed complaints would be a daily reality and the ultimate outcome would be devastating.
(Desperate times call for desperate Pollyanna moments.)
The moral
No matter how suck ass it is, it could almost always be worse. Be thankful.
