Yesterday I came home for lunch and told Katie that at work they were giving flu shots. We thought it would be a good idea that we all get flu shots so that we don't get Phoebe sick. The plan was to get everyone ready to go by the time my lunch was supposed to be over and get there in time for the shots, but it seemed like everything was working against us. First we both lost our cool with Conrad and yelled at him. I hate yelling at him because he is just a fun loving little guy. I apologized and we went out to the cars. Next, I forgot my keys. Then, we were half way down our street and had to turn around to get the forms I had filled out for the shots. So we were off again. This time we got to the end of our street when I heard Conrad say, "oh baby sister spill!" That means that she threw up. I looked back and her car seat was full of spit up! "We should have been there by now!" I was thinking. We turned around again and went to clean her up. I got her changed and cleaned out her seat. When I went outside Katie was crying and Conrad had this guilty look on his face, he had hit her in the head. Now we were off for the third time. Kate had to drive the suzuki. She was ahead of me and when we went into the APX parking lot she went the wrong way and we got separated, but we made it in there.
I got my shot, it wasn't bad. But then I looked over and the girl that was giving Conrad his shot was not holding his leg and he was of course moving around trying to get away, but she was holding the needle right there at his leg so every time he moved it poked him again! I ran over there and held his leg and she finished. I felt so bad for him. It had to have felt like running his leg thru a sewing machine! Lucky for us it was ice cream day at APX so we all got a treat. Now after all that Katie went home with the kids to take a nap and when she woke up she was having a reaction to the flu shot and felt sick as a dog and couldn't go to her own dinner and a movie party at her parent's house. Poor girl. What a crazy day!

I am glad that generally these days are few and far in between... they make for good memories though. Ice cream makes everything feel better. I needed ice cream, yesterday. Hope Katie is feeling better!
What a story Ransom; if things could go wrong, they did. Poor little Conrad getting poked so many times and Katie with flu symptoms...did she have the flu mist? Take care. I agree with Brenda, ice-cream does make things better:)
