This is what I was stuck behind yesterday for about two hours on the freeway, I was about a half a mile back and missed it by about 3 minutes. No big deal if I hadn't just drank 32oz of water an hour prior. I had a ultra-sound at 3:00, I didn't make my appointment. I was parked on the freeway from about 2:40 until 4:30. I remember exactly becuase I had to PEE. Than possiblities crossed my mind.

1. I could crawl in the back and pee in a bag of clothes I was going to take to the DI and than go home and throw them away.
2. I could pee in my favorite coffee mug......hell no....I would have to through it away...hell NO.
3. Get out of the truck and pee on the side of the road (and all that know me will know this is true) .
4. Ask the car ahead of me, full of kids, if they have an extra diaper.
5. Unzip pants and hope this helps by allowing more room.
6. Wait.........and cry, I really mean, I cried.

I picked.........drum roll please.........#5 and 6.

More to story......he he he.....really, this is funny!

I get home and Clarice is covered in Chicken pocks (one on the end of her nose and lots behind knees, by her crotch, tummy, arm pits, all the warm spots that they start)......go ahead.....ask.....'has she had them before?' Why yes, thanks for asking, she has, twice! This will make it three times she has had them. I go pick up Isaac, and, go ahead, ASK.....YEP....he has them too.....and yes he has had them before as well. My family tends to get chicken pocks more than once. So does my niece, grandma, and two of my kids. They have both had a cold so they could have had a fever, and with the weather being so hot, I really wouldn't have known. They don't seem to be horrible cases, but Clarice was really itchy last night. Bright side is that school hasn't started yet and they won't be missing school. Not so bright side is that I have a relay on Friday and family coming in from Las Vegas tomorrow. I am sure that Clarice and Isaac will be contagious through the weekend, until all have scabbed over. Oh well, I do have to laugh and count the other blessings:

1. I don't have them... :~)
2. Jason doesn't have them.... :~)
3. Chelsea doesn't have them.... :~)
4. Kids not in school... :~)
5. Both kids seem pleasant..... :~)
6. Excuse to leave work early..... :~) :~) (that one deserves a double smiley)
7. It couls be WAY worse... :~)
