Although this terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day occurred weeks ago I would still like to document it and for you all to feel sorry for me. Ha...no I just thought it was crazy! When it rains it really does pour! I know you all know about day's like these.
First on my way to the Gym I notice smoke coming from inside the car, in the back behind the back seat. I panic. Lucy is back there! I notice it is only when I hit the breaks.
Long story short- after sitting at a repair shop for 40 min. (really not that bad) but with a 1 year old...I learn that my brake light bulb had fallen out of place and was burning a hole into the plastic casing of my car every time I hit the breaks. So now we have this lovely hole in the back of our car. It kinda looks like a bullet mark..which makes me feel tough!
At the car place I notice a rash all over Lucy's body. So i grab a filler Dr. appointment which means after being sitting at the Doctors office for literally 3 hours we were told it's Roseola (sp?) and it's not contagious and there is nothing you can do about it...thank you, thank you very much.
My poor baby looked like a leper for several days. I felt bad taking her places with friends because it looked so awful...like Mom's were thinking what on earth does your child have?
Oh..and while we were at the Doctor we had a scare about her lead levels from her last Dr. appointment so they had to prick her finger and take more blood. Awesome. By the end Lucy and I were both in tears!
We also learned Lucy had a yeast infection/ bad diaper rash so we got a prescription cream and headed home.
Later that day, while I was changing her diaper and putting the cream on her she grabbed the bottle and got the cream everywhere and then I noticed she was licking her hands. Greeeat! So then I am freaking out and called poison control, which with the small amount she most likely consumed it was fine, but it gave me another scare on an already stressful day!
And to top it all off, who is the one person who you can call and vent to on days like these? Your Mommy of course. Well when I call she is at a bowling alley and can barely hear me, and so I don't even bother. Boo hoo hoo. I know! So sad. I think I will run away and move to Australia!
But just as my FAVORITE children's book ends..."My Mom say's some day's are like that. Even in Australia!" :)
I think more people should blog about there terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day's. It would make me feel better. ;)
And if you haven't read this book you really should. It will make you smile!

Lauren had her first rash like this when we lived in Korea. I was sure she contracted some awful foreign country disease.
That makes me tired! What a long day.
Oh boy. Kara had a rash (different kind) from a virus several months ago. It was awful! And those kinds of days make you grateful for the good ones, huh? Whew, glad it's over for you!
oh no! that rash looks scary! Liam got a rash just like that back in January, but below his belly button all the way down to his toes. Turns out it was Hand, foot and mouth disease, which IS contagious, and he gave it to both me and Pace.
Oh wow I am glad you made it through the day. I'll have to check that book out.
