I don't want to be smart anymore

Well I don't know what the weather is like where you are...but in my neck of the woods its humid and rainy. yuck. Needless to say my hair has gone flat and I look like a man with breasts. Not a good look I am sure.

My son got bitten by a bug or something yesterday and the side of his face is a little swollen. At what point do you panic? I mean its nothing like that T-Mobile commercial but still...I have a hard time gaging emergencies...what I deem an emergency may not be considered the standard. I think everything could be potentially life threatening.

Speaking of life threatening - my Mom is a surly old lady and she is getting on my nerves a little. I love her to death but I tell you...she has congestive heart failure..she has no insurance so we have to go special hospitals and doctors that work with you...what does she do?...complain anyway. And now she says her feet a swelling a little. Not good so I say lets go to the doctor...of course she is refusing..she wants to wait till its so bad we have to go to the emergency room. You would have thought she learned her lesson the last time we had to go. I don't think Mom realizes when you're poor you have to wait on everything, even doctors. It's not fair but its the reality. You know what I secretly hate? Being the smartest one in our family. Where do I go when I need answers?
