I will be scarce for a day or two. My laptop AC cord fried and both of the little kids are sick. Dev has ear infections in both ears and B has one ear infection and pneumonia. It's been a busy week to say the least.

Today has been one of those days! You know, when you just want to run far, far away and never return. Devin has been skipping his nice long nap during the days since we've been busy doing outside things this past week. I figured today he would be able to catch up on some much needed rest.

Wrong.

I did manage to get him to sleep, only to have Brooklyn wake up from her nap and start screaming when she saw me walk by her crib which of course woke Dev up. I tried for another hour to get him back to sleep but he just would not settle back down.

Oh well, my house really didn't need to be cleaned anyways. *snorts*

The afternoon has only gotten better. The microwave I thought was broken, turns out it was just locked. Cody had his permit test today and I thought he had a ride there. He phones at the last minute letting me know I have to bring him. Great. I had some adult company for a change that I had to run off so I could rush to get him there by 3:00. Once we were there I realized I'd forgotten some paper work so I dropped him off and had to run alll the way back home to get it.

He fails the test, which I'm not surprised about. I never once saw him open the book to study. Of course he has every excuse for why he didn't study but that's not why he failed. The questions were stupid, the correct answer couldn't have been the right one, blah, blah, blah. Typical. He knows everything. Why study?

Once I'm home I try, with no luck, to get B down for her nap. I gave up and just pray that I can get them both in bed and asleep for the night by 7:00 so I can unwind with a few drinks of the adult kind. Oh yeah, Cody needs a ride to work at 7:00 so it will be after that I guess.

Our vacation can't come soon enough. I am ready for a break.

Randomness about my day...

1. It was long.

2. I witnessed a car accident this afternoon and was the one who contacted the police. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Still wondering how in heck she didn't see the huge mini van coming her way?!

3. I called the Neurology office to make sure they received B's referral. Big surprise, they hadn't. Called her PCP again and they claim to have faxed it, twice even. After a bit of attitude, they finally managed to do what they should have done weeks ago the first time I called . Geesh.

4. I waited anxiously by the phone hoping to hear from the geneticist. Nothing. Think I may call tomorrow.

5. I spent another day searching the net for a possible diagnosis for Brooklyn. I swear if I don't have answers soon I will slowly go insane.

6. I got all of my laundry caught up and even managed to put away two baskets of clothes! ;)
