The dreaded FLU

I am one of those people who does not believe in the Flu shot for myself. Yes, I know Science says I'm wrong. I don't care. Every year I got a Flu shot, I got sick, so I stopped. But I thought, hey, maybe it's just me, I should be responsible and get my kids one. Well apparently if you have never had one you have to get two for the whole process to work. Okay, Have you tried to schedule two appointment exactly two weeks apart during flu seasoning just to get the shots? It can't be done. Oh, yes, it sounds simple enough but because everyone else is doing it, it is near impossible. Therefore, I have an appointment to get the kids flu shots, well the first of two on the 27Th of Jan. 7 weeks, yes, 7 after making the first of many calls.

Oh and wouldn't you know it, Both my boys have had the flu for the last two weeks. Two. Weeks. Two weeks of nastiness. Two weeks of screaming. Two weeks of changing...well, I won't say. So, really, what was the point of appointment hell if they have already had it before they get the shot for it? But at this point it really is the principle. I called. I nagged. I begged and I stole someones spot. My kids are getting that flu shot.
