There are some days I should not leave the house. This was definitely one of them. This morning I got up early to shower, dress, eat and then get the kids ready to leave by 8:30. We actually managed to leave on time which is amazing. We arrived at my doctor's office by 8:50 and walked up to the door. It was locked. Hmmm. I put Al back in the truck and let Bug hang out in the front seat while I call the main line. I found out my appointment is actually this Friday at 9. The doctor is out of the office this morning. Great. I don't know how I mixed that one up.
As I'm putting Bug in his seat, the nurse shows up for work. Of course she does. There is no way I can just sneak away without anyone knowing I got the wrong day. Did I mention this is a very small office? It's just the nurse and the doctor...that's it. Of course she asked what I was doing there. Didn't I know my appointment was scheduled for Friday? Yep, we (kids and I) are such a show stopper the nurse KNOWS when we're coming in. They know to have lots of bandaids available for Bug to play with otherwise he starts telling poop stories. Mortified much? Yes I am.
We leave. And head for Sam's. I thought that since I was up and ready I could just knock out my Sam's list. Once again, all kids out of car and up to the door. It's locked to everyone but business members. Okay, I have a business card thanks to my inlaws. So I begin the search through my wallet. It's a very short search because I switched to my 'mugger wallet'. I'm neurotic okay. I keep reading about women with kids having their purses stolen while loading kids into cars. So, I switched to a small wallet with only one credit card and my I.D. I thought this would be easier if I did get mugged. Easier because there is only one credit card number to call instead of several. Well, damn it all, I didn't throw in my Sam's card.
I got tired of hearing the doors keep trying to open so we meandered back to the car. While trying to balance Al's car seat and unlocking the truck doors I see Bug sitting on the ground rubbing his hands all over the parking lot. 'What are you doing' is my question, of course. He says he's just nooking mama. Duh, silly me.
I didn't even attempt the Starbucks drive thru with the bus a.k.a. Jas's truck. We just came home and licked our wounds.

BUT, you endured this atrocity of day with fab new hair, yes?????
You should have braved the 'Bucks for a salted caramel hot chocolate...you woulda felt so much better!
The hair is just okay. I'm going to try her again but will arm myself with an old pic of me with the hair I want to have again. Maybe that will help.
As for the 'Bucks...I would've taken off with their menu and the drive thru window with Jas's truck. Every time I take his truck through ANY Starbucks I always almost take off with their window attached to the side mirrors. This includes sliding the tip jar to the other end of the window sill.
I'm actually envious of your adventures. Lately I only leave my house for my daily walks with Ipo, the commissary and church. Hang in there! Afterall, tomorrow is another day for you to mix a few more things up and to be able to laugh about it later. Isn't life great!
PS Facebook is alittle dull compared to Myspace.
Anon- I agree. Facebook is slightly dull. I like myspace much better.
And yes, tomorrow I get to go to the doctor's office again. It's for my post pregnancy yearly thing. Can you even imagine what Bug will say? I can. I'm already mortified and embarrassed and he hasn't even said anything yet. I'm sure I'll have something good to post tomorrow.
Some mornings it doesn't pay to get out of bed. I hope tomorrow is better.
