I had to give 2 flu shots to a brother & sister; probably 11 & 7? They were both screaming so loudly, kicking, punching, and holding onto the door handle to escape. The mom was in no control what so over and after about 5 minutes of this going on, she started to have a break down and cry! She finally got the little girl onto her lap and held her tight. I was just about to go in for the sting, and the child starts to vomiting. She had worked herself up so much, she made herself sick. Although once she got her shot, she was fine. Her brother on the other hand was not so easy. I offered to grab another nurse to help hold him down and he promised he would stop the kicking. Again, once I had the needle open and just about near his arm, his mom released her grip and he started swinging and kicking again. Needless to say, I immediately backed away, needle open and all. I was not about to get stuck with a needle, clean or not clean... I didn't care. This ordeal went on for almost 20 mintues! I'm in the room thinking to myself, 'I do have other patients, I don't really need this today!' I know it's horrible to think, but this is outrageous! As much as I love kids, I hate giving shots! This makes for a really long day!
When I finally got home, my parents brought over Chinese and we started cooking. Our friend is having surgery and I wanted to make dinner for her family while she is recovering, so I decided on something easy... soups. My mom and I made chicken corn noodle soup and white chicken chili... AWESOME! Here are a few pictures for our fun 5 hours of cooking....
Yes, I made the dough rivals! My favorite part to the soup!
And we couldn't have done it without the palmagranite martinis! YUM!
The best part was that I got to use all my new cooking gadgets! I love the Le Crucet and recommend it to everyone!
Look at all the soup!

Yeah...about the shots thing...I can't believe kids who are that old flip out that much. I sure hope my kids aren't that way. But on the mom's side...I know that Emma has turned into a totally different child when we've gone to get shots before so maybe she was thinking, "who are these children?" :) I bet you were great with them, even though you were probably frustrated!
