Connor had an appt with his Geneticist this morning, down in Cinci, which I have to plan 2 hours to get there (including time to park, get from the garage to the hospital, then to the clinic check in). My husband had a final exam this morning, so I had to bring all three boys with me. The appt was at 9:15am, so I had them all up early and we hit the road. And of course, I took the morning off work to do this.
About 20 minutes from the hospital, I passed the exit for one of the outpatient locations, and suddenly couldn't remember if his appt was at the main hospital or the outpatient clinic, so I called them to ask. The receptionist says his appt that was scheduled for today was CANCELLED and RESCHEDULED for July 13th!!!
WTF??? As soon as she said that, it rang some bells in my head, but I checked my calendar last night to verify what time the appt was at, and it was on my calendar for today. I thought they cancelled the July appt for a June appt instead, but now I don't know!
So I got off the highway and then called every other specialist he sees in Cinci to see if any of them had appts open this morning, thinking maybe I could at least make the trip worthwhile, of course none of them do. So I turn around and start heading back North. My gas light came on, so I pulled off on the next exit. But there's construction on that exit, and I couldn't get back on the highway! So I start following a road that appears to be going North parallel-ish to the highway. But then it turns to North-West, and I start to get nervous that it's taking me further away from the highway! So I called my husband (who was done with his exam) and he gets onto google maps for me and steers me back to the highway.
So then I drop the boys off with the sitter (because my husabnd has another exam this afternoon and I have to go to work) but I realize that I didn't pack enough bottles for Gavin because I assumed he'd be with me until lunch time. So I nursed him as much as he'd eat at the sitter's house, then told her to feed him avocado or banana or applesauce (that thankfully I had packed as a snack for Ian and Connor) and hopefully Gavin won't decide that he really wants a bottle instead! (if he does, I can always leave work to go feed him if I have to, so it'll be okay)
AHHHHHH!!! I had the whole day so planned out, everythign packed and laid out last night, everything was going so smoothly!!
AND...I'm not sure that I can make the appt on July 13th! I might be starting a new job by then (I had an interview and an unofficial offer last week) which means I can't take time off to take him to this appt. Hopefully my husband can take him to it!!! But of course my husband has never taken him to the geneticist...maybe I can do a phone conference during the appt...

: scratch 
First I need to go for a run, I ran 4 miles last night and my quads are awfully sore today (it was my first run in a while, I've been trying to rehab a hip injury).
