Plugging along....

I decided last night that I'd might as well get out today and do some things I've been putting off. I had a pretty productive day although the incredibly insane drivers up here did cause me to end up crawling back home with a horrible headache. Something is very very wrong with these drivers up here. I don't know if they're just complete dummies when it comes to driving or if they're just careless. Either way they certainly do keep me on edge. I was only out for a few hours today and saw three accidents while I was out. One of which appeared to be very very serious. The two SUV's involved looked like balls of metal in the street. They had all 4 lanes of a major street blocked off and everyone had to detour on a side street so I drove right by it. Somebody must have been driving super fast! Honestly, I don't think there's been more than a couple of days that I've been out and not seen at least one accident. The people up here seem to be very careless when it comes to driving. They're really freaking me out and I seem to be on edge every time I get on one of those busy streets. Back to my accomplishments of the day....

1. I found the kids a pediatrician and took them their medical records and everything
2. I found Cassie an orthodontist and got her info to them and made her an appt.
3. I requested that both Mike and my medical records be sent
4. I found the hospital
5. Found a new Avon lady and ordered some makeup

About that finding the hospital bit....I certainly hope that we don't ever need to get to the hospital in a rush because it's not close. Their new pediatrician's office is located right by the hospital and I was really surprised to find out that it takes a good 25 minutes to get there. Not that big a deal I don't guess, I'm just used to it taking 5 minutes to get to their doctor. I could've picked a closer one I guess but I did a lot of research on pediatricians and talked to a lot of people before I decided on this one. I'm not one of those people who can just plop out the phone book and pick one. It's a good thing I had my GPS with me because I have no idea where I was. Well, I take that back...I was in Fredericksburg...somewhere. Apparently there's a whole other side I wasn't aware of. I guess I'll have to get back over there and explore if I can get the nerve back up to drive around in that madness again.....sheesh. I'd feel safer in a helicopter or something...lol.

I'm off to cook dinner. Joshua just informed me that I need to take him to a family reading thing tomorrow night at school. He also told me that I'm supposed to be going in my pajamas.....I need to go find that note and have a better look at it...lol!
