an interesting day

First I want to say that I have not yet completed a blog a day for a week and I already failed :( I fell asleep on the couch  last night at about 9:30...In my defense I have been suffering from insomnia and obviously REALLY needed the sleep. Okay enough apologies on to the blog for today... 

There is no picture for today b/c every time I try to share my blog with FB it says the picture I chose is spammy...I chose SEVERAL different pictures and they are so NOT spammy...whatever!!

Today was one of those days that is exhausting just because it is completely different from your normal day. We woke up, got ready and took the truck to get serviced at Carmax....(a little back story) Ever since the very first time we put my son in a forward facing carseat...he gets car sick he pukes all over my truck!! I put him in a forward facing carset the day after he turned one ...like I had been told to do by my pediatrician aaaaaand he yacked all over the truck...after that he began getting carsick almost everytime we got in the car, I began begging someone anyone to tell me what I could do to help my poor little man. All the answers were the same "there is nothing that you can do he will grow out of it" I even looked it up online and all it said was to watch what you feed them before you get in the car and to have the seat in the middle, so they can look out of the front window. No one ever told me that there were extended rear-facing carseats!! I wish one person would have said "you can get him a carseat that will allow him to continue to rear face until he weighs 40 pounds..oh and by the way it is safer for him!! 

Okay off that soap box  and back to today :) We were headed out to Bartlett from Olive Branch which takes us on 3 different interstates. We were just about to pull into Carmax when William barfed :( Thank goodness it was early and all he had had for breakfast was some milk. 

I called my Mother-in-law and Carmax letting them both know that I was indeed there, but was going to need some time to clean up a rather nasty mess. Poor William kept saying he was sorry and asking me "what happened? I'm all wet." Then, as I was taking his clothes off he was screaming at me "I'm cold mamma!! stop I need my clothes I'm cold!!" luckily I had some blankets with me since he was going to be napping at my mom's house. I wrapped him all up and after that he was fine :) 

We went from there to the mall to drop my MIL off, then to her house to drop the dog off and THEN to my mom's house to wait for my dentist apt. I needed my teeth cleaned and was having an issue with a tooth he had filled...I couldn't floss in between the two teeth and it was driving me CRAZY! Thank goodness you can't see what the Doc is doing when he is doing it. It felt like he was filing in between my teeth..after it was all said and done he showed me the tool he used and it was a freaking hack saw a tiny teeth sizes hacksaw, but a hacksaw non the less!! he even said "well that worked just needed a little hacksaw and he showed it to me!! GA!! This is why I need happy gas to go to the dentist!!

After the dentist I got the call from Carmax apparently we needed a new tie rod for our suspension and something was wrong with our ERG valve..whatever!! I needed a rental car b/c they would have to wait for the parts to come in...the last time we needed a new part for the truck they had it for THREE WEEKS and kept saying the part has been ordered, the part has been ordered. Well guess what, some worker found the part and it had been sitting on the dock the WHOLE TIME. Soooooo, needless to say I am not trilled we have to wait for a part to be ordered :( oh well, I get to drive a cool gas efficient Ford Focus in the meanwhile :) (It's all about the silver lining people hahaha) I went ahead and drove straight to Enterprise and rented the car and told them I would be back to get it after I picked my MIL up from the mall. I ended up helping my MIL at work for about an hour (which I was HAPPY to do since she was helping me by driving me around and letting me borrow her car plus we work for the same company and am always happy to help my company :) when we got back to Enterprise I was expecting a very quick pick up since I had already done all the paper work and just needed the keys. Not so much, it was PACKED and it took FOREVER to get my car! I'm just SO thankful that my mom was watching William and he wasn't there with me. 

Once I got the car I headed back to my mom's house so that I could dye her hair. I love doing this for her b/c I used to dye my hair ALL the time and my mom was always the one that did it for me. After this I met my hubby at his mom's house for dinner. He cooked shish kabobs on the grill and they were DELICIOUS!!! At last we headed for home and I to my computer to blog so I could go to sleep!!! Good night my friends till tomorrow :)
