Man it has been a brutal two weeks.
First our nanny was out Thursday and Friday 2 weeks ago because her daughter was really sick and hospitalized.
Then that same Thursday I got pickpocketed right after I pulled out $1000 from the bank. I filed a police report and had to deal with jerk cops who reluctantly took a report that my wallet was "lost" and not "stolen" because I didn't see the actual pickpocketer's face (apparently that's the law but there have been recent measures to change it). The pickpocketer ran right by the bank and was probably caught on the bank cameras, but the police refused to do anything about it. I know there is virtually no chance of catching the pickpocketer, but I want it reported as a crime to accurately reflect crime statistics in our area. Plus why do cops have to act like such jerks?
Charlie then caught a virus and was out of daycare Tuesday-Friday. He ended up having bronchiolitis, a fever, and ear infections in both ears. We had to give him steroids and antiobiotics 5x a day, and nebulize him 3x a day. He was NOT happy. He has barely eaten anything other than milk the past week, and there's a chance that he might develop asthma since he seems prone to these respiratory viruses.
By yesterday, we were without childcare for 10/11 consecutive days. And of course Mr. Bee and I caught Charlie's cold and have been sick since Saturday.
Just when I thought I would be able to catch up on some work, our nanny called in sick today because she probably caught what we all have, and she'll probably be out tomorrow too. That's 12/14 days without childcare in the past two weeks while taking care of a sick, cranky toddler, and being sick ourselves!
Phew sickness is a brutal cycle when you have kids.
The only bright spot is someone found my credit cards/license in his mailbox and returned it to me this weekend. Of course the money and wallet was gone though.
