Sunday night I realize that we are out of Alex's meds and call for a refill only to be told we need Dr. authorization. Great, seeing his first dose is supposed to be at 7:30 a.m. When I called the Dr.'s office this morning, I was told she wouldn't be in until 9ish - WHAT? She is always in at 7:30. So while Alex is going nuts, I wait for the Dr. to call. At 9 the call comes telling me I need to bring him in for a new script for the meds, but not until this afternoon.

Ok, I am usually very kind to the numerous Doctor's offices I have contact with, but today, knowing his doses are due at 7:30 and 1:30,while watching him throw play-dough around the kitchen while chasing his sisters trying to spit in their hair, I got a bit bitchy. No way was I waiting until this afternoon, I needed to be seen now! Well, be careful what you wish for......

After telling her it would take me a good 50 minutes to get there, she gave me an appt. for 40 minutes later. I took 5 minutes to get myself and the kids dressed and out the door - we were going to make it! As I am pulling down the street the "low fuel" light comes on, no time to stop for gas, just crossing our fingers. About halfway there, I remember that this is the office that no longer takes debit cards (insane, I know) and I don't have cash or checks on me. Then all 3 kids inform me that they need to go the bathroom and can't hold it, and Alex gets so annoyed he opens his window on the highway and threatens to throw his new Croc flip flops out.

Oh, I had to make a call from the road and Alex decided to write me a ticket since it is against the law to drive and talk on the phone. He shoved this in my face the rest of the day. Happy Monday.......
