IM NOT A FRECKIN DENTIST !!!

A typical day in the life of me.. I started my day off well, My grandma had surgery, so I went and sat with her for a couple of hours this morning.. I should have NEVER left. I leave her house, go to work for a couple of hours, in and out of a freckin car 15 times, dealing with 100 degree heat all day.. I then pick up my step daughter at day care, where they proceed to tell me that my step daughter has a cracked tooth. GREAT !!! Sooo I call the Dentist.. I ask for a emergency apt. Can you get here in 20 minutes.. why yes I can.. I run the kid to the dentist, where I sit for an hour waiting.. in a 100 degree waiting room. We finally go back to a room, where the dentist proceeds to look at me and say.. So, are we going to do the work we already discussed doing on her mouth? And I say, HUH? I know she has cavities, but Im here today because she has a broken tooth? She once again looks at me like im nuts and says- so are we doing the work?By this time, Im in NO mood to be talked to like an idiot, so I say, she's here for her one tooth- the dentist then proceeds to explain to me that she has to do other work as well as taking the tooth.. NO SHIT!! So I say, ok whatever you need to do- then Im taken to a room and it is explained to me again that she needs more work than pulling the damn tooth, and that I might have to wait 2 hours.. What the hell? Can yall not just pull the damn tooth for now.They proceed to look at me like Im nuts?? I proceed to tell the office person Im not a f-in dentist I didn't realize you have to do all of these things just to pull a tooth.. hell no.. that would be to easy. So Im left with the dilemma- do I wait 2 hours? Or do I chance it with medicine- because I have to go pick up food and a cake within the hour for a b day party -OK I say, Ill chance it, the kid seems ok, ill get medicines, get the food, get the cake, and get to the party. Meanwhile, Im getting more and more pissed. What the hell is going on??? Its soo hard to be a step mom, I have no rights at all, ooh I can pay for the dentist, but Ill be damn if I didn't need to have a NOTARIZED COPY of a letter from her dad to treat her? Mean while her "mother" sits on her ass, collects disability and lives off of me!!! All the while Im paying and caring for HER responsibility of which she could care less. It makes me sick. I never ever knew how hard being a step mom would be.. We are the background heros- we are the ones who do not get the credit. This by far- is the hardest thing Ive ever done. I only hope that I'll become better at it. Im knew at all of this, some how, today, I really questioned weather I could do this. Then, I turn at look at her asleep in the car, and I remember why I took all this on. I only hope that I make the right choices.. Having said that, tomorow is another day, all I can do is my best..
