One good thing about kids...

Today one of my kids had a doctor appointment. I hate taking all three of them anywhere with a passion, because they usually act like escaped wild animals.

I have to say that today they weren't bad at all.

So we did the doctor thing, everything was fine until Sage had to have her finger pricked which made her scream and cry in her own overdoing it way. :) I mean, I know it hurts, but she has a way of letting you know she is more pissed than hurt and that was the cry she had.

So we left the lab and walked to the waiting room and I saw the other two women looking at my son with big smiles on their faces. He wasn't doing anything especially cute at the time so I looked down and saw that after he went potty, he had his boxers pulled all the way up to his chest, over his shirt, and twisted one direction and his shorts barely pulled up and twisted the other direction. I guess in my rush to get Sage finished I left him on his own to fix himself.

Shaun and I laugh at them a lot because they don't have the mindset of being decent, for lack of a better word. If you are going somewhere, they want to go no matter if they still have on their pajamas or just a shirt with nothing underneath.

When we got to the doctors office, i was able to turn on the street, get all the way over and turn left without a problem. When we left, I did good to turn right and get into the first lane. ugh. I hate those situations. So I drove down the street, thinking surely it hits the freeway again. Wrong. I was about to turn around when I found the road the seminary is on. We eventually came to the 405 but it was too packed for me to get over. No worries, i thought, the 170 is close by. When we got to the end of the road I realized I was wrong again, so I turned down a side road intending to make a square kind of to get back to where I was. No go. The street went away from where I wanted to go. I figured with all the main roads crossing, surely I would come across one eventually.

I had little more than a quarter of a tank and I misplaced my card so there was no getting more. Great, I thought. So I turn on this main road and somehow get to the 101. Well, that was better than nothing so I took it. I find it ironic that I live so far away from the coast and yet, everytime i get lost, I find the 101.

So it took us two hours to get home, it took us 30 minutes to get to the doctors office.

I actually love the drive on the 126. I think its so pretty with all the stuff growing and if we would have had money today, we would have bought some strawberries.

For me, our journey was like a pre-vacation. The kids were fine in the car, although the girls were making annoying noises, I had my window down so I didn't hear them, i only heard Jake yelling at them. lol

In just 9 days, we are going to be driving cross country so it gave me hope that they would make it for the long drive back home.
