Don't you hate it when people waste your time? It really tends to ruin my day for the long haul.
So, I take Sofia to her pedi's office to get her second dose of the flu vaccine. Just for any first time moms out there, if your child is under the age of 6 (I think???) and it's the first time they have ever received the flu shot, they need to get two doses, 30 days apart. Anyways, so I go in to the ped's office and the waiting room is jammed. About 30 minutes later they start calling people in. I'm the last person to be called in after waiting for about an hour now and I'm told that they can't give Sofia the flu vaccine because she has a cold. Ok, so she does have a runny nose, but she has not ran a fever at all since she started with this bug on Thursday (Oh...by the way...Merry Christmas, Sofia! Santa brought you a virus!). So after waiting in the lobby for over an hour and then not have your objective accomplished, I left a little pissed. I know it's not there fault and that they are only following guidelines, but I felt like I got jipped!
I hate time wasters!!

Okay, it's official. I'm a terrible mother. Noel got his flu shot in October and I was supposed to go back so he could get his booster 30 days later like you described. Did I go? No. I didn't want to sit and wait in the doc's office for an eternity with a hyper baby. He now has a runny nose, but that's it. I feel for the most part that the original flu shot worked. Yeah, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. lol
