An Icecream kind of day.....

I had all these wonderful plans of being ready for Bunco tomorrow night when it all went to the pot...
C'era woke up yesterday morning with a really really bad diaper rash (so I thought) Brooks' cousin came over last night and said she thought it was a yeast infection but to give it a couple of days to see what it did.
This morning C'era woke up covered from head to toe in "diaper rash". I called my mom and sent pictures of it to her and she suggested I get it checked out to make sure it wasn't contagious.
I set an appointment for 10 this morning and went on my merry way to get ready for the day.  At 930 I went out to load my two chicks in the car and to my dismay the back tire was  FLAT AS A PANCAKE!!!!!!
After several phone calls Tanji came to our rescue and took us to our appointment. Needless to say we were 10 minutes late and had to wait another 20 minutes in the waiting room to be "worked in" to the schedule again.
C'era HATES the drs office. She knows where we are as soon as I set her down on a scale to be weighed.  And she screams bloody murder! But once we are back in the "other waiting" area she is fine until the dr enters the room.
Today we are inflicted with hand foot and mouth disease. The dr informs me that it is very contagious and she probably shouldn't be around other children for a week. Then she throws in that its mostly contagious through her saliva, and that I should keep an eye on Marshall because he may contract it. Great thats all I need two kids with a highly contagious rash. I very well can't take them to the babysitters to get all the other kids sick with hand foot and mouth disease can I? Once out of the office I call my rescuer Tanji to take me home.
When I return home my tire is flatter than it was when I left. Grr..I had called Brooks and he suggested that I fire up the compressor and fill the tire with air and take it to the tire store. It took my 15 minutes and a screaming baby to get enough air in the tire to drive 5 minutes away.
We get to the tire store and turn in my keys and Marshall decides he wants to play Hide-n-Seek in the tires. I can just picture it now....Mommy come find me...bounce bounce bounce....tires rolling throughout the store. I put an end to that by calling my dad to come get us since we were going to have to wait a gruelling hour before the car was done.  My dad let me take his truck in which I am very thankful.  But when we dropped him back off at work and returned home. I didn't have a house key....the house key was at the TIRE STORE!!!!  I load my two beauty's back into the truck and headed to Del Taco drive through since my children were starving and then straight to "Gramma Grapes" (Great Grandmas). Two hours later I finally walk through my door with the knowledge that my car needs and alignment and the back tires probably should go no further than washington a couple of times. On the upside the tire guy says that my tires PROBABLY have some warranty left on them and they can do an alignment for 70-80 dollars. (written with sarcasm) I don't have 70-80 dollars for an alignment and the possibility that I will have some kind of discount on two new tires is unlikely. What if I don't have a discount and have to pay full price.....
Good thing I had a half a gallon of ice cream in my freezer because I definatly need a bowl or two!!!  Hope you all have a better day than I did!
