Deep Breaths

I think that I am good person.  I go with the flow, I’m easy and accommodating.  I always try to find the best in others and when pressed, give them the benefit of the doubt.  I fully believe in karma-what goes around comes around-and I always try to keep mine in check.  You never know when you will have to cash it in.

Today was a day that required cashing.  Today I turned to the universe to claim the favor that I was due.

Yesterday was gnarly:  Sick kid à Urgent care àstrep throat/ear infection

I held it together, followed the steps, did what was expected.

But this morning I went to pick up the medication that was to be instrumental in my child’s recovery, only to discover that it was nowhere to be found.  I was then informed that it was my responsibility to return to the urgent care thirty minutes away with sick kids in tow just to pick up a script.

This seemed ridiculous, unnecessary, lame….well however I interpreted it…it completely overwhelmed me. 

I lost it.  I guess it was the accumulation of the stress, frustration, exhaustion…..well you get, it all came pouring out.  I stood shamelessly in front of this poor women who was taken by surprise and I threw my hands up and let the universe take over- and it did.  Miraculously those tears that I shed prompted an efficient response from the base clinic staff.  Like magic they were able to get the urgent care to fax a copy of the Rx (seemed simple enough right?) and even went to the pharmacy and had it filled for me.

I thank you universe and my poor sick kid thanks you too.  Time to build up the karma banks, for today, I fear they were depleted.

I’m exhausted, but at least my kid is on the mend.

(Deep breaths).
