A weird anniversary.....

So all my planning for our 12th Anniversary went out the window.
The original agenda looked like this:

Saturday

  • 7 AM Run with the girls
  • 8 AM Shower, load last minute items for party
  • 9 AM Leave to get Matthew's Birthday party set-up
  • 10 - 12 Celebrate Matthew's Birthday with his buddies
  • 1 PM Home, decompress, shower, get boys down for naps
  • 2:45 PM Sitter arrives
  • 3:30 PM Couples massage scheduled at Terrame
  • 5:30 PM Dinner reservations at D&L Bistro

What actually transpired...

  • 7 AM Run with the girls
  • 8 AM Sitter calls to tell us she has stomach flu
  • 8 AM Try desperately to find an alternate sitter
  • 8:30 AM Load last minute items for party
  • 9:30 AM Leave to get Matthew's Birthday party set-up
  • 10 - 12 Celebrate Matthew's Birthday with his buddies
  • 12 PM Learn that they make a SHOT for the Poison Ivy Will has been fighting for a week.
  • 1 PM Home, unload, assemble toys, get boys down for naps
  • 2 PM Willie leaves for the doc-in-a-box to attempt to get a shot.
  • 3 PM Willie is still waiting
  • 4 PM Willie still waiting, me a MUCH NEEDED SHOWER after a nearly 4 mile run and a birthday party in 100 degree heat, boys get up.
  • 5 PM Willie is out of the waiting room but still no doc
  • 5:25 PM The first doctor comes in and immediately goes and gets a more senior doctor to witness this apparantly severe case of poison ivy. SHOT ADMINISTERED......finally.
  • 6 PM We eat leftover party pizza and cupcakes and are thankful for all that we have....especially the poison ivy shot!!
Thankfully, I called on Friday morning and canceled the massages since I figure the massage therapist would want nothing to do with massaging my husbands oozing rash.

There's always next year right?
