Mitch and I went to our monthly doctor's appointment on friday (I absolutely love it when he comes). Anyhow, once the doctor finally came I open fired. That is I asked him a million questions (this happens every time I go so he's used to it). This week it was questions about the Flu. After a long conversation he explained that he had a flu shot available and he would like to give it to me. Seeing how i've been coughed on by a bunch of kids all week at school I agreed. As the nurse shoved a peanut butter consistency through my arm through what must have been a dull needle I couldn't help but think "lets quadruple this pain and shove it into my spinal cord for an epidural". What the Heck am I doing. Epidural? or a watermelon through my nostril (think creative with that one)? What would I rather do? I know what a needle feels like, and for some reason the watermelon is sounding better! I mean, I heard that being pregnant makes you think crazy thoughts, but you know perhaps i'm finally thinking clearly! I just have to think of it as a 800 meter conference championship in 100 degrees. I did it, it hurt, I threw up, I couldn't walk or see straight, but I was glad I did it in the end. What's one watermelon through a nostril? gulp. Good grief I only have 3 more months to prepare for this race. Does anyone have any good mental imagery books, cause I sure am going to need it! Suddenly one kid is sounding better than 6! :)
