Really?!

Okay, so I've never given a day a title, but Friday was one of those days that deserves a title: "Really?!" It will become clear why. Avery has been sick and had to have an ultrasound of her belly to make sure she didn't have a cyst in her bile duct or any other dysfunction causing some of the symptoms. Our 7:45 am appt. was perfect so that she could make it to school on time at 9. So, groggy little Avery and I were headed to the hospital and...really? 30 minute traffic jam on the freeway, okay. We came through the doors slightly tardy, hmmm, really? this isn't the hospital entrance anymore? The labyrinth maze finally lead us there, and after a 45 minute wait we got in. Here's my little trooper!

We'll get the results tomorrow, but the tech thought everything looked great!

So she made it to school at 10:00. Okay, I can still get a workout in. If I don't get at least 2 good workouts a week...well, let's just say for my sanity and my family's it's necessary. I'm already only going to get one, so I really need it at this point. I have 5 minutes until the 10:30 class, perfect! Nana's picking up the kids so things are looking up. After changing in the locker room I open my bag and...really? I left my gym shoes at home...really? So, I, Yosemite Sam, drove home to get them because I am determined at this point to get a work-out in. After the gym I get home and where are the kids and Nana? Nana calls to let me know that Avery got a cut and a black eye at school...you know what's coming, wait for it...really!? Poor Avery!

You see how the day is going and the cherry on the cake? My cold finally turned into me with no voice. Really.

It was comical by the end of the day. Thank you Elder Wirthlin for your talk which has come to be words to live by: "Come what may, and love it."

Here are my little cuties this morning before church.
