When Donny woke up yesterday, he had a slight fever and his neck was still swollen, which meant a follow up trip to the doctor. The drive to the office is about forty minutes and no matter how hard I try, I always arrive three minutes before the appointment. I really wanted to arrive in a timely manner so I started getting ready at 10:00 for the noon appointment. I was doing really well, standing at the front door with two kids, the diaper bag, carrier and Donny's lunch. "Let's go, let's go, let's go! Everyone to the car." I opened the door, put one foot out, step on something and said, "Everyone back in." Kitty left me a present and I had to move it before we could go. The thing about Kitty, not only is she a killer but she also eats her prey and leaves us just the head and bladder. I'm sorry if that was too graphic, but at least I didn't take a photo.
After meeting with the doctor, she sends us to the hospital for blood work. Donny had a great time talking to everyone in the hospital until I handed Abigail to a strange lady. He looked at me and knew something was up. Three tubes of blood later we were out of there. I now had a very cranky, hungry (he dropped his sandwich on the floor) and tired boy. When we finally get home, I'm unable to unlock the door. While I was cleaning up the Kitty mess, Donny was playing with the lock on the door handle and locked the door. We were never given the key to this lock and have discussed many times that this day would come. I finally got us in the house and thought I can't believe we have to go back tomorrow. Donny is having an ultrasound on his neck. Things will be easier because Big Daddy is home. Unfortunately, we have cancelled our trip to D.C., but there is always another weekend. Who wants to sit in traffic anyway?
