WARNING:

2.5 hours in a waiting room for a 15 minute doctor's visit + four toddlers + one edgy mama =
walking into the men's restroom (with five girls) at the grocery store

~Nora and Sophie are now BOTH scheduled for ear tube surgery on Monday
~the grocery store didn't even have what we needed
~the bathroom had one of those twisty curvy hallway type entrances, not good for quick retreat!
~I did NOT make eye contact with the old man standing at the urinal
~I cried in the car leaving the doctor's office and laughed in the car leaving the grocery store

seriously, when people ask me "how I do it?" this is the stuff that runs through my head and I laugh,
I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing that I have people fooled into thinking I can 'do it'!

That's awesome...at least the laughter came second. I'll be praying for you and the girls on Monday. Hope all goes well. My friends whose kids have had that done say it's a world of difference!! Keep laughing!

I visited Aaron at the Academy while we were dating and had to go one day. Yup, in the mens, did my duty and came out with people clapping. Ahh, good times... I understand. I am clapping for you in my head.

Holly, we had tubes put in Emma's ears last year and it was so very worth it. She was running around 1 1/2 hours after the surgery. And I gave birth to Brooke the next day, so glad she waited an extra day. I wish I was there to watch the older girls.
