I hate making up post titles – this post is about my day

December 17, 2007 by Amy

OK, so after taking the kids to school I headed up to work.  I had a 10:00 meeting I barely made it to.  I’m sitting in there for about an hour and get a call on my cell phone that I don’t recognize but assumed it was the girls’ preschool just because where the number came from.  A voicemail was left right away so I left the meeting only to find out Lexi is sick and needs picked up and she couldn’t get ahold of Scott at home.  So I then call several times to the house and Scott’s cell.  Scott worked last night and was sleeping.  I knew he had set his alarm so he was sure to wake up to pick them up at 12.  I called the school back and left a message saying I was at work and explained Scott’s situation and was going to keep trying.  I finally gave up on Scott and hope she’s calling and go back in my meeting.  A few minutes later I get a call back from the school saying they had talked to Scott and he was on the way.  Crisis averted.  Well sort of. 

Lexi had a temperature, fever, croupy cough, was becoming lethargic and wouldn’t eat.  Fabulous.  I called the doctor and made an appointment for Scott to take her this afternoon.  She was put on steroids and told to stay on Tylenol.  When I got home this evening, she was 2 hours into a 3 hour nap.  She’s already back in bed too.

Scott’s parents came over this evening to visit.  We had a good time chatting while the girls played with S who came with them.  After they left, I ran out to CVS to use up some ECBs that expired Saturday.  We’re headed up to Maryland Wednesday afternoon and who knows if they have a CVS or what the rules are up there.  I just didn’t want to chance it so I spent them.  And plus, the sales are the same probably so may as well get it done with.

Now I’m catching up with all my Internet stuff and doing some laundry in preparation for this weekend’s trip.  So that’s it. 

Before I go, two quick requests…pray that Lexi gets better before Wednesday so she might get to do her Christmas play at school and she’ll be good to go for our long car trip and pray for my grandmother as she has a chemo treatment tomorrow.
