Today I am thankful for being conservative.
Holy crap, Batman! Will the idiocy of government officials ever cease?
Now, I have a school nurse trying to get me to argue with my ex.
I won't.
It does no good.
Apparently, my ex promised to take one of the kiddos down for a tetanus shot.
I'm a tad bit clumsy.
I can appreciate a good tetanus shot.
My ex was supposed to carry health insurance on the kids. He can't. He claims that he hasn't worked in over a year (don't know whose business trips I was funding a few months ago....but whatever....)
He has to rely on vaccination clinics to get it done.
I'm conservative. I have to rely on charity.
There was a clinic on November 13th. My ex promised the school nurse that he'd take the kiddo to the clinic to get the shot.
That was before one of our daughter's teachers announced an event that day the coincided with the clinic. Since a grade was at stake, he opted to take the kiddo to school.
That's a parenting decision made on his parenting time.
I'm not going to make a fuss about it.
Today.....uhg....today.....
I got a nasty message from a school nursing urging me to take action ....because all women are liberals who believe in big pharma and government mandates.
I'm allergic to egg and numerous other things used in shots. I'm not really a big fan unless I know who is giving the shots and can trust they've been shaken. The last time my ex lost his job and the kids had to rely on charity to get vaccinations I waited until I could pay a doctor I knew to administer them.
A few years ago, there was a story about a bunch of kids getting sick because a nurse didn't shake up the vials before giving out shots. I know these stories get scrubbed from the internet. It's just one of those things that I'm going to have to trust my gut on.
It's best to take kids to doctors you know and trust.
So....
I'm not going to argue with my ex. I'm not going to force him to take her to another shot clinic. I don't want to give him more attention than he already has. If I argue with him, I'll just give credence to the idea that we need to talk. He may use it as an excuse to continue to live her and continue to mooch off of me.
He usually does.
I'm not going to take time off work to do it because I'll get fired. I've got 50 hours of vacation pay I'll lose due to my fear of losing my job.
I don't have coverage now. My group options begin January 1.
I left a message for the nurse telling her that I have a personal belief system against governmental mandates. She could either choose to deal with my ex-husband and wait until the next shot clinic -or- call me to request a personal belief exemption.
We'll see what she says.
There are threats. Threats to kick the kiddo out of school and threats to put me in jail.
Geesh!
I don't understand harassing people like this. There are options (waiver forms). There are also harsh realities that people face in real time. There are time constraints. There are financial constraints.
They just had their bond issue pass. They may want to be thankful for busy activists.
Not getting attention from someone like me is probably a positive thing.
********
I can't hide forever.
I'm getting to the point now of abusing my vocal training while talking to government officials and politicians. I have a scary stage whisper. I can't sing worth a darn but I can sure project my voice across a room.
I guess it's time for me to get back in the game. I'm thinking about a makeover. I may bleach my hair blond (hate the idea) and start stuffing my bras.
Maybe if I can change my name and my appearance the bullshit will stop.
A b!tch by any other name is still a b!tch.
I'm thinking about a Stevie Nicks look.
I've been told I act like Brenda Lee in the old series "The Closer" when I'm doing my NLP mentalist thing with politicians....
Maybe I should dress like her.
I'm getting to like River Song from Dr. Who. I could pull that off. I have an auburn version her hair.
Since the stalking became bad, I typically dress like Johnny Cash in heels. Everything is black. My tops are usually lace or silk. I wear a black riding jacket and a beat up pink hat.
My favorite things in the world are wrap dresses and tops with tailored jackets in thigh high stockings and high heels. I stopped wearing those in 2012 after someone unwrapped me and made a mess on my leg.
I have a closet full of wrap dresses just waiting to be worn and no one I trust to unwrap them.
Maybe changing my appearance is an option. I'll look into it. I know just the consultant. She could help me change my look.
It's a shame I can't afford plastic surgery. I could really look a heck of a lot different.
Alas....if I could afford that, a teenager would have her shots.
Maybe we need to school government officials on the meaning of freedom.
Love ya,
S.
