Josh and Becca Thrap and Family

So, this morning I got Jacob out of school at 9:30 again to go to his dermatology appoiontment. Everything was running generally smoothly–we were even a few minutes ahead of schedule! But when we got into the office the receptionist couldn’t seem to find Thrap on the appointment list and then she said “Oh wait, is this for Jacob?” Yes. So I’m thinking ok, she found him, no big deal. Then she continues “His appointment isn’t until 11:45.” !!!!! Seriously! Seriously? Seriously. Luckily, she went on “it’s ok though, I think we can sqeeze him in now, this is a good time, its fairly slow right now.” WHEW! Thank you! Honestly, what is my problem?! I of course immediately went to my calendar where I ‚ write all the appointments in and stuff and sure enough, 1145 J Derma. Why on Earth did I think I had to get him from school at 9:30? I mean, when I sent the note on Monday (or was it Tuesday?) I told his teacher 9:30 Friday. At least it worked out well this time. She got us in right away and the doctor was quickly in and out and it was over. Jacob was back to school by 10:30 (and I had stopped to get gas even.)<==$1.96!!! Sew heppe to see the prices below $2! I know the prices have been up there for a couple years now actually, but it still drives me nuts that I remember filling up in Muscatine for $.85/gallon. Like growing up isn’t expensive enough, especially once you throw kids in there, to have your gas prices triple if not quadruple within 5 years is just madness! My rant is over. And now I’m off to meditate for whirled peas…more likely I’m off to microwave broccoli and cheese. Diet is still holding up and the scale today showed two pounds lighter than it did on Monday. I’m not going to get excited about that ’cause it could be a difference in what I’m wearing or time of day or water weight…whatever, but its a move in the right direction. So…tallyho!
