Do you want to know how to make the gods laugh? Have a plan. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate one. Something simple will do. I know because I made the gods laugh. Rolling on the floor, snorting milk through the nose kind of laughter. Remember I mentioned taking Friday off? The Animals had dentist appointments and I was going to send them off to school and then hang out at home and knit and clean the house for a couple of hours before picking them up from school. After the dentist appointments, we were going to have lunch out and then run a few errands. Nice Friday with kids. That WAS the plan. Instead, the Little Animal woke up with a high fever (103) and a bad cough. We all stayed home (the Professor went off to work) and waited for the doctor’s office to open so we could make an appointment. Took Little Animal to the doctor and then Bigger Animal to the dentist. Then of course it was running around to pick up the prescription (which, by the way, the pharmacy screwed up our insurance) and then supplies to keep Little Animal happy. I have been nurse, driver, chef and entertainer (i.e., MOM) for Little Animal this weekend.
