Yesterday sure felt like Monday (even though it was Tuesday)!
It started out o.k., but as the day progressed, it went downhill.
I went to pick up my kids from school......a daily routine.....my daughter ended up going to a friends house to play.....my son had a doctor's appointment at 4:10 p.m. We had a little time to waste before his appointment, so we went and had some ice cream. That was just the calm before the storm!
Took my son to the doctor.....he's had a cough for nearly 2 weeks! I've been giving him medicine at home, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better, so I figured we better go see if it's something more than just a cough.
The doctor checked his ears....fine......checked his throat....red/irritated from coughing, but otherwise fine......listened to his breathing....he wheezes.....he thinks he has Asthma. Key word here..."THINKS". He has to go back in two weeks for a breathing test (can't remember what it was called) to see if he does have asthma. He's had problems in the past with allergies and coughing, so it's highly likely.
So we get done there and go get his prescription....a steroid medicine and an inhaler....and finally get home about 5:15 p.m.
I'm suppose to pick my daughter up between 5:30 and 6:00, so we were only home for about 20 minutes before we had to leave again.
So at about 5:35, I load up my son and my dog to go pick up my daughter. Her friend lives about 10 minutes away, so we got there right about 5:45. I leave the van running with my son and dog in there and go to the door to let them know I was there. Haleigh's mom says "come on in". So I step inside.
First, my daughter can't find her sunglasses.....so everyone's looking for her sunglasses. We figured it wasn't a big deal....they could look for them later and bring them to school to give to her. A couple minutes later, she found them.
But then she couldn't find her flip-flops! So everyone starts looking for her flip-flops!
Ten minutes into the search, I finally tell them "not a big deal...it's nice out, she can just go home without shoes and you can send them to school with Haleigh if you find them".
In the meantime, one of the girls (Haleigh has two sisters) had went out to the van to see our dog. My son decides he wants to come in to see Haleigh's dog, so he gets out of the van and leaves our dog in there by himself.
FINALLY, the found my daughters flip-flops, so we were ready to go. I round up my kids and tell everyone good-bye......pull on my door handle......
THE DOORS ARE ALL LOCKED!!!!!
My dog apparently stood up on the arm-rest of the door and stepped on the "lock" button!
My first thought was "CRAP, now what do I do?!"
We tried to get my dog to step up on the door again so he would maybe step on the "unlock" button....but to no avail.
My husband has the only other remote to our van and he's 30 minutes away in another town!!!
I tried calling his cell.....he didn't answer. So I tried calling our daughter-in-law.
Luckily, she was home and just down the street from where my husband was. So she walked up to tell him what had happened. He couldn't leave for at least two hours!
So my dear daughter-in-law loads up her kids and, remote in hand, drives 30 minutes to come rescue me!
I couldn't tell her "thank you" enough....I was so appreciative that she was willing and able to help me out.
We finally got home about 7:20....after stopping to get something to eat...I wasn't gonna cook supper after that whole ordeal!! LOL
