Lucky Ramblings -- By Nina

Spring is here.

I hear the birds, I see the baby leaves sprouting out from trees, I feel the cool air as I walk outside. I feel the peace radiating from nature. There is a spring in my step (either that or the heels I'm wearing are too high-- yep, it's the heels.) Either way I love this time of year.

WANTED: FAT BIRD
Whenever I see a red robin I know something great is about to happen.

I'm still waiting.

That damn little red bird better show up soon or I'm going to go buy a BB gun and hunt him down myself.

I need a little luck lately. Do you ever see a word and then it hits you that it almost looks foreign? "Luck" looks pretty strange right now. Maybe it's because I don't feel that I've had any lately. How ironic.

My kid has had pneumonia twice in six weeks. She was misdiagnosed with a sinus infection twice and given the wrong antibiotic so the pneumonia just stuck in her lungs. Sigh. What the hell is wrong with these doctors? Not only do they misdiagnose but they give out drugs like candy! What I'm about to tell you is not a joke: the doctor at the ER last week prescribed my daughter cough syrup with codeine! Really? A four year-old needs codeine these days? When did it become okay to give our kids narcotics?

When she fell asleep after giving it to her one night, I kept checking her to make sure she was still breathing. You laugh, but if it was you, you'd be seeing if your kid was alive every half hour too.

As I write this I am literally falling asleep. I am exhausted.
