It all began with bath-time last night. I noticed that the little one had broken out in quite a rash, we both thought it would be best if I got him out to the doctor quickly. We were both worried that he had an allergic reaction to his baby food, James stayed home with Thade and I took Dylan out to Urgent Care.
Dylan was not too happy at all. It was late, cold, and he seemed pretty sure that he was out there to get a shot. I was grateful that our hospital just opened Urgent Care, they stay open until 11:00 p.m., and we were in and out rather quickly. The Doctor said that it was baby eczema, it was irritated by cold weather, and too many baths. O.k. so I’m in a little trouble for over bathing my son, who knew… I was given a prescription to fill on Saturday.
We went back out in to the cold, and headed home. I think it was around 9:30 p.m. when we made it back, and Thade was ready for bed (so was I). I was getting everybody settled down, when James said there was another problem… One of his lenses had popped out of his glasses, and we could not find the screw from the frames anywhere. Luckily we had an eye-glass repair kit on hand. I tried and tried to fix the glasses, but had no luck. In this time though, I had to get Thade off to bed and Dylan was not happy. Dylan screamed at me for a good hour and a half, while I tried desperately to get the teeny tiny screw into the frames.
Finally at 11:00 p.m. (after nursing Dylan for the 2nd time) Dylan drifted off to dreamland, and I finally found a screw that fit the frames. Yahoo! I repaired the glasses, and happily presented them to my hubby, and then I called it a night too.
Everybody was up bright and early today. At 10:00 a.m. I thought we had better get out and get the prescription filled. Off to Walgreens we go, again, third trip this week. I took both of the boys, and hoped this would be a quick trip. We get to the Pharmacy, no lines, all right, but as usual there had to be a problem with something. For some reason the insurance card was not playing nice with their computer system. A good 15 minute wait, and Thade getting pretty grumpy. The Pharmacist said I could go shop and they would call me when it was ready.
We walked, and walked, and walked… Thade mad in the cart, and Dylan getting heavier and heavier in the Snugli, my noggin was splitting. An hour had passed, I decided to head over to the Pharmacy and see what was going on. They said that the prescription hadn’t been filled yet, but they would hurry. Another fifteen minutes, and finally the single magical tube of calming baby cream was filled, and we were all ready to go.
It was noon by the time that we made it home, Thade was starving. Time to go and make lunch for all the boys, and find some migraine medicine for me. I still haven’t started the laundry from yesterday, the dishes are piled of every possible surface in the kitchen, and I’m completely exhausted. This is going to be one of those days, Starbucks take me away 😉
