Mom-of-the-Year

So when I really botch up parenting I tell Joe that I am going to get Mom-of-the-Year award. It's just my way of acknowledging that I have messed up. So, my latest is awarded to me for failure to remember that Alex is on an antibiotic and it must be taken three times a day!! It was easy to remember when he was really sick, just laying on the couch, not eating, burning up and just plain miserable. Well, now that he is better, it is so easy to forget!!! I'm pretty good with the morning dose, horrible with the afternoon dose and hit or miss on the evening dose. I wonder what long-term damage I may be doing? If nothing else, I guess he will get sick again real soon since I can't seem to keep him on a steady dose!! In other news, sickness abounds me!! Although Alex is much better, Jenna and Joe both have bad colds. I swear, pregnancy is the best immunity! And our latest possible illness is our cat Lucky. I had to take him in this morning because he has been lethargic, not eating, not going to the bathroom, drooling, and just not himself. Turns out he has a very high temperature and may have some type of infection. Or he may have organ failure. Only the blood tests will tell. If he is in some type of organ failure, then we will put him down. But before we can find out all this, I had to spend $245 on him today!! The price of pets!!! At this point, I'm hoping for an infection so I don't feel like I just wasted all that money - sounds ungrateful I know but hey, I'm not made of money!! Let's hope that I can remember Lucky's medicine, which is in the fridge, next to Alex's medicine. Hmm, maybe I should separate them!
