An adventure

So this last week has been quite an adventure.. Avani has been fighting this cold that she just can't seem to kick so I decided to take her to the doctor on Thursday and that is 30 minutes east of us. I am glad that this was on the nicest day we had, had all week. We actually for once had a pleasant time at the doctor appt. there wasn't a room full of patients in the waiting room which is always a plus b/c I don't believe ever walking in there and walking out without one of my children catching something. We got into our room within 5 minutes.. Or at least however long it takes to sit down and get a baby out of carseat plus 2 minutes.. Turns out there didn't seem to be anything really wrong? No ear infection, no red throat, lungs were clear.. So he decided to go ahead and give me something for her since she has had this cold for about 2 weeks with a fever off and on for a couple of them.. Now it seems as if Lijah is sick only he seems more sick than what she was? Poor babies.. i just hate when they are sick..

Well after I was done taking her to her appt.. I decided to grab some lunch but the cafe in the hospital is on the floor below us and at the other end of the hospital.. I just figured it would be better to get something healthier there than say McDonald's, that is to say if the hospital food is really healthy? Well after carrying a 16pd baby in a carseat all the way there it turns out there wasn't anything that looked appealing..darn it! I just decided Culvers sounded good and definitely better than McDonalds! and it was good!

Since I'm in college and gotta buy those pricey books, luckily at the end of the semester i get to take them back and resell them to the bookstore! It's always nice to get a little money back! But in the process of returning like 8 books my darn sack broke! Now I wasn't trying to lug that carseat all the way up to the college door and in the college but i didn't get my way.. I decided to put the books in the carseat and carry the baby.. Let me tell you that was a horrible walk.. I felt like wonder woman but i was exhausted after i got back to my car since i had just did the walk at the hospital..ugh!!

Well after we got done there I had to drive an hour south and pick up Lijah and go to another appt I had there and then head north another hour to home only to realize after passing all the gas stations I was on empty and i do mean EMPTY.. i was surprised i made it to the gas station.. my miles to empty thing said like 2 and at one point it went to 0 and then went back up to 2! I did notice getting gas at hy-vee that they have a button u can push if u are handicapped or i think have children? and i wonder will they come pump for you and take ur money and bring ur change? gosh if they would do this they will definitely get my business!! Guess I will have to try it sometime!


Well Ms. Avani is needing me so that's all for now....
