This weekend we are going out of town. I started Wed getting ready to go. I have all clothes ready to be put in the bag. I have all food out and seperated to go. I have any extras ready to go. My plan was to get up today and clean so we could come home to a nice clean house.
Last night Eli told me he had a sore throat. I honestly did not think anything of it. I chalked it up to allergies gave him his meds and put him to bed. He started coughing through the night. So I thought he was getting sick. He was up and was not himself. He cried drinking juice. He had a fever also. Then, his nose began running and it was a nasty green. He was still sweet as could be!! So after cleaning the kitchen I decided to try and get him in. We had to hurry and get there and they would try to squeeze us in. I came prepared! I brought toys and books. Mind you this was right after lunch during their would be nap time!
They did pretty good for a while. Eli read a lot of his books and Lilliana talked and played. Then they started to get restless. We had to sit there for at least an hour and a half. I have been working on shooting what is called "wide open" so it was a perfect time for me to practice. They were confined.
Finally Eli was seen and he had a double ear infection and the start of something viral. That meant antibiotics so away we went to our favorite Meijer. I say that it total sarcasm. I detest this Meijer. MSU college students especially the foreign ones drive their carts like they drive in their native country and well its scary!! I just made peace with it and tried to think of having fun and making it fun. By this point the kids are tired. I also have not eaten since breakfast because I was just trying to hurry and get him in.
We get Eli some apple juice. I also needed more toothpaste and some more motrin for my teeth. I am still in a lot of pain but hey that is icing on the cake for what was to come. We do all our shopping and I took time showing Eli stuff.
I paid for the 3 items I had gotten and took Eli potty. Then we go to pick up his script. It is not even close to being ready. So I go and sit down in the little waiting section with the lovely Dr. Scholls foot inserts display in front of us. Yay something colorful for them to look at. I turn Lilliana around and let them play.
That lasted about 20 minutes and then Lilliana needed to eat. All the while Eli is being a terror while I am feedin her. There is a guy sitting next to us and I am mortified because I can not keep him contained. I am using the shopping cart cover as a cover up and there is a little boy trying to get a peak while he is messing with the blood pressure thing. Needless to say I was flustered!! Then somebody calls my name. I think GREAT we are ready to go only I am still nursing. I also realize it is the one tech that is always so rude! So I say give me a second so I can get everything put back together and then start walking to the counter mind you they are super busy! They always are at that store! Eli won't sit down so I deal with him in a stern voice and she is getting annoyed. She does not ask me any info like they usually do. As I slowly walk away I decide maybe I should check to make sure its the right script. Thank goodness I did. It was for another Alexis. I realize duh! I am not looking for me but for Eli. So she gets all mad that I took somebody else's medicine. Like it is my fault. She threw a huge fit. I finally said you asked me no information. You would have never known had I never even looked. I was not happy that she was mad at me for it. It was a honest mistake. She ended up storming off leaving a mess for everybody else. The other people apologized for her but talk about making the flustered mom more flustered. Needless to say Eli got taken to the bathroom and got a spanking for being unnusually out of hand and telling me no non stop! I did get get gas for $3.20 on the way home so I was very excited about that. We made it home in one piece and I got a lot of stuff done. He fell asleep in the car and then came inside and has been asleep since.We have tried waking him up but he is out like a light. We almost are ready to go and I can't wait for a relaxing weekend of fun with our family. No cell phones, TV or computers! Just us!
I decided today for the next several weeks I am going to take a picture of "the signs of fall." Today's picture was orange Mums. I love mums and today I found pretty orange ones. I really like the burgandy color but these were nice too!
