Wackie Wednesday!

Just Imagine...
A woman wearing a nice work dress shirt with pajama pants and flip flips and a little girl in her pajama's and a little boy in his pajama's neither wearing shoes riding in a Wal-Mart shopping cart. Well THAT WAS ME Wednesday night! LOL

We had to take the kids to the Dr. Wednesday night because #1 Lauren fell on a box at school and was complaining it hurt when she went potty and #2 Colton started running a slight fever (101.5) at school. So while I was going to take Lauren in I thought I would take Colton too even thought I just knew his was teething.

The Dr. looked at Lauren's bottom and found a bruise on her leg and two cuts on her bottom. Basically she fell on this box at school straddling it and cutting her bottom in two places. :-( Poor girl...every time she went potty the pee would burn the cuts so for the first 24 hours she was just screaming when she would go pee. We would of course squat down to her level and hug her while she was going to the bathroom in hopes that it made her feel better. She did ask that today I ask her teachers to hug her while she goes potty at school. :-) I of course told her teachers that and they said "of course!" which made me feel better.

The Dr. was asking about Colton's symptoms and I said "he started running a fever at school today but he is a late teether so I'm sure it's just teething". He asked if he had a runny nose or cough lately and I said "yes he has had a runny nose for a week now but I'm pretty sure it's because of the rain we have received lately as he has bad allergies". The Dr. checked him out...ears, nose, throat, etc and said "his ears look good but his throat is a little red...can we do a strep test?" and I thought 'I'm already here...sure'. So they ran the test and about 15 minutes later came back and the Dr. said "well I'm shocked but the test was positive!". I was like WHAT? He has no symptoms! So I think we caught it early which is good!

So the Dr. gave us a cream for Lauren's bottom and a prescription for Colton's antibiotics. They were to be ready at the WM Neighborhood Market in Springdale. Kraig went to pick them up and it was apparently a very busy night for them...he said there were around 20 people in line! It was finally his turn and they only had Colton's medicine! They said they were out of Lauren's and they were too busy to call other stores to see if any other WM pharmacies carried it that we would have to call around if we needed it tonight. :-( So Kraig brought home Colton's medicine and I started calling around. The WM at Pleasant Grove had the same story...they were out. I called the WM Springdale and luckily they had it. After three calls back and forth between pharmacies the prescription was finally transferred! About 20 minutes later they called saying it was ready. Kraig had dinner plans with Mr. Bruton so I loaded up the kids (7:30 pm by now) and thought 'I'll just drive through the pharmacy drive through and be home soon'. Well I didn't know that Springdale was the ONLY WM without a pharmacy drive through! So the kids and I went into WM in our pj's and picked up the prescription. I'm sure we are not the worst dressed family that store has ever seen...but it was pretty comical to me!

Luckily both kids are feeling better today and are both at school. I just had to share my WM story with everyone...sometimes a mom just has to go with the flow (more often than not) and laugh about it later!

Happy Friday everyone!
