As I was dropping Josiah off, I realized that I had forgotten his pacifier in the car. It didn't seem worth the effort of walking all the way back out there to get it, so I just left him promising I would be back quickly. As I was getting out of the shower, I was paged. Josiah was fussy and hungry. I rounded up all three boys and headed to the car. No small feat considering they unwisely put the childcare center in the very back of the gym. We pass by the locker rooms, every office, and the lobby (including the salon and cafe). This is a long, tedious process.
I get to the car and realize I had left one of the two bags I have to bring in the childcare area. Josiah is screaming so I go ahead and nurse him in the car before beginning the adventure back. I unload everyone, we somehow make it all the way back in and then Joel proceeds to throw a temper tantrum in the lobby. Now we are causing a scene.
We finally get to the childcare area, collect the missing bag and head back to the car. About 10 feet from the car, Caleb trips and busts his lip and nose. He does his breath holding thing and passes out. I am holding Josiah, so I race to the car and throw him in his carseat (no time to put on his seatbelt). When I get back to Caleb, he takes one breath and then passes out again. I wait till he wakes up and then I laid him down inside the car.
In the meantime, Joel has scared Josiah and Josiah is now screaming as well. I run back over to the other side of the car and buckle Josiah in. I can't find the wipes and blood is going everywhere. Joel has apparently been playing with them and has left them out in the backseat. They are all dried out. I find some kleenex, calm down Caleb enough to make the drive home and leave.
I was planning on going this morning to the gym again....and for some reason, I decided it was too stressful today.
