Yesterday started off like a normal day, but that's where it ended. I had great plans to pick Graisi up from the bus stop, hit Wal-Mart for some bottled water for Girl Scouts, make ice-skating practice and then on to the Girl Scout meeting afterwards. Well, lets just say all of that happened, but not quiet in that order!
As I stopped at the bus stop and put the truck in park, Alli Claire started gagging in the back seat. Then the vomiting commenced AGAIN!!! This time it was some sort of pizza stuff and peaches.... YUM! I was trying to clean her up with baby wipes as Graisi got off the bus. She immediately informed me that she would be riding in the front seat on the way home. Gee, I wonder why?? So we got home and gave AC another bath at which time she screamed the whole time. I got her out of the bath and shut the door with her in there while I talked to Martin on the phone. Does this tell you anything??
After her bath, she was F.I.N.E. No other vomitous attacks after that. Needless to say, the carseat was out of commission until I could get it out of the car, washed and dried. There in lies the problem. I couldn't figure out how to get the straps off of the seat to get the cover off... Or how to get the thing unclipped from the metal structure of the car. Martin was coming to the rescue! He came home early because you remember I still have to go to WM to get water for GS, ice-skating practice and the GS meeting. I left he house in the Maxima and I left the Tahoe/carseat with Martin to deal with. Graisi and I went to WM, ran through the store and back in the in no time flat. As I started to pull out of my parking space, I noticed a car coming so I waited for her to park. I then backed out of my parking space only to be jolted sideways by this woman who decided to back BACK out and straighten up. The only problem was that she didn't look behind her before she did. OH THIS WAS JUST GREAT!!! I called the police and the first thing he said to me was, "So she backed into you?" I thought, "Gee how could you tell????" Genius! She put a very large dent in the side of the trunk but it didn't damage the wheel well, so I was able to drive it without problems. My car is 11 years old and I've had it for 9 of those years. Not once has it been involved in an accident until yesterday. I think this is pretty remarkable, don't you?
So we made it to skate practice and the Girl Scout meeting, but my evening was still shaken from my recent calamities. Graisi was so good through the whole thing. Wow, yesterday stunk it up!!
