Aging rapidly
This is one of those weeks that should've been easy and laid back, but hasn't been... Too much going on in our world, in spite of our efforts to keep it simple...
- Spent a good part of my Wednesday at the Nissan dealership while they replaced (for free) a scratched up plastic grill bezel on our new Xterra. Normally, that's an easy thing...but having 2 kids (one of which you have to carry) makes that an adventure. Throw in Kailyn's falling down and scratching up her knee in the parking lot, and a simple outing turns into a lot of drama. Whee. She cried and screamed so much you'd think her whole leg had come off...all for a small scrape that hardly bled at all. Sometimes, this parenthood thing gets to me at moments like this.
- Kailyn's day was just beginning, though. Without going into the fun details, Kailyn developed a UTI (urinary tract infection) later in the day. Stacey took her to the ER (at about 10:00 p.m.) while I watched Zachary. Unfortunately, the wait was longer than our last visit and Stacey didn't get to come home until after 1:00 a.m. It was worth the trip, though, as the antibiotic they gave Kailyn made her feel much better overnight.
- On a funny side note, while Stacey was waiting there, I told her (via cell phone) that she should call Allison and find out how long the average wait is there, since Allison seems to always be in there with one of her kids. Stacey calls me back a little while later to tell me, "Guess what...Allison and her son just came out...they'd been here about an hour already." Heh. I can laugh, since her son was okay (just a bruised noggin).
- My family's coming in town this weekend. Having free babysitting, I was hoping to go camping tonight, but there's a potential for some thunderstorms and the cool weather we've been enjoying might be on the way out. So...crap! We'll see, but it's not looking all that good...
- Kyle's got a girlfriend, he's building a house... Is the apocalypse next?
