Mom, do I have to get a shot?

Nope no shots today, buddy.

Wait back up did I just say that?  Heck I didn't know what the doctor was going to do. Yep Mom of year goes to, wait for it,  NOT ME!

It is that time of year, kids need physicals, school paper work needs to be filled out and turned in.  Okay so I had this paper work for the last year and put it off till the last possible moment.

Everything is going great and then I get the question "Is there anything else?" What is it with me today, all of a sudden I am yeah, Greyson needs to be checked for allergies, and migraines and bed wetting ( I so didn't mention this here). The doctor says we can draw blood... wait.....

Okay yea Greyson didn't hear that, we are good.  Off goes the doctor.

Then the nurse comes back and says that Parker needs a TB test.  Crap, there goes my no shots today, buddy statement.

So of course Parker freaks, but it is manageable and he gets over it quickly. Thank goodness, since I know what is going to happen next.

We leave the office and go down to the lab.  Greyson asks me whats up.  Um we need to get a urine test and something else.  He is all, I don't want a shot.  Oh, your not getting a shot.  Greyson doesn't believe me.  Why should he I already blew it with Parker.

Parker is standing in front of Greyson and is all "I'll protect you from Mom." Yep they love each when it really counts.

So while we are waiting and the kids are sucking on lollies, Parker decides he needs to lick me because I lied to him.  I warn him if he does so I will lick him back.  (Seriously I am their role model people).  This does not stop him however and he licks me on the arm.  I immediately, with people watching, give him a giant lick on the face.  Yep we are oh so hygienic, waiting in the lab work office.

Greyson and Parker think this is SO funny (Greyson threatens to lick me with grape flavor) and Parker decides to lick me again.  I laugh because his aim was WAY off and he basically licked my arm pit.  How did it taste buddy?  Bet you aren't going to do that again, are you?

We get in the lab and Greyson sees needles.  DRAT, I am all look at me, focus on me, geez that didn't work.  So the nurse has him sit on my lap.  I wrap my arms around him.  He is screaming bloody murder,  and they haven't even touched him yet.  It takes 2 nurses, possibly 3, I closed my eyes for a bit.

Meanwhile Parker is waiting outside and Greyson is doing a high pitched scream in this guys ear.   Pretty sure the entire building heard it.  He starts to calm down and then he looks down to the vile with blood in it.

He screams "I'M DYING!"  Tears and snot running down his face.

And again my response.  This is so getting me the Mom of the Year award.  "See I told you, you weren't getting a shot.  This is so much worse."

Victory laps are being run, right now, for my awesome parenting skills.

Then to top it off, he still needed to pee in a cup.  One armed pee job (because it was all hurty), into a cup.  Um yeah,  next time lets do this first.

As a reward for their awesome behavior at the doctors office and lab, I got them chocolate oreo shakes.

That totally makes up for lying right?
