I am taking Michael today to be evaluated for food allergies. Simple right?
No. Try spending 2 hours at a pediatric allergist with a two year old. Then imagine they are going to do an allergy scratch test where the prick him 15 times. He then has to lie on his stomach for 20 minutes and not flip onto his back. How exactly am I going to do this without holding him down forcibly? And the appointment is at 10:30 a.m., which means it will push up against both lunch time and nap time. I'm going to be stuck in a doctors office for 2 hours with a hungry, tired, unable to move toddler. And I'm going with no help. Don't you all wish you were me?
After that I have my whole family coming over for Kol Nidre dinner. I'm hoping he takes a long nap so I can cook and clean. Today is the best day ever.
Tomorrow I fast all day for Yom Kippur. I actually think that's going to better day than today.
My definition of hell

Boo! Fridays should not be that crappy! I hope he takes a long nap, too, and you enjoy dinner tonight. I need to fast. For like a month.
Have a great weekend

Why in the hell are they doing a scratch test on your poor sweet child??? Mia had her allergy testing with a blood draw, which was miserable agonized screaming but was one stick and over in 5 minutes.
I had that scratch test as a kid and still remember it vividly. Tell Michael I’ll take him out drinking tonight if he wants. Milkshakes, of course.

Ouch, Jodi. That is awful. I really hope the reality turned out to be worse than the anticipation — and I hope you get some helpful answers.

I’ve unfortunately had similar appointments and have no advice. I hope you survived.
I never know what to say for Yom Kippur. One cannot really say “Happy Atonement!!” I hope it is the reflective day you need.
