Shiloh and Frank had eye appointments today. I needed to take all the kids because Daniel had already gone into work late so I could take Tirzah Mae to an orthodontist appointment this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was SO on top of it. The kids were in the car and we were on the way in time to be there 15 minutes early. I was rocking this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We went over some train tracks with a jolt. The cement truck behind us started acting weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We stopped at a stoplight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A woman with a construction vest knocked on my window. She was the cement truck driver. “I’m sorry, but you lost your spare tire back there.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yep. I took a U-turn and put on my hazards. Grabbed the tire and rolled it to the back of the van. Hefted it in. Turned back around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About a block off from the eye office, I had a hunch. When I pulled in, I checked my phone. Yep, the reminder text was not from this location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good thing I was still ten minutes early despite the tire. The other location was about ten minutes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took another U-turn (since the parking lot wouldn’t let me take a left). I drove down the road I thought the other location was on – and passed where it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I pulled off onto a side road. Checked Google maps. The other location is a mile north – but didn’t the text reminder say this street?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By that time, I was already on my way to location 2. I won’t get the kids out until I know for sure I’m at the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ran in and the receptionist confirmed – the right location was a mile south and five miles west. He’ll call and let them know I’m on my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got out to find the big kids had been super helpful and unbuckled their younger siblings. We only arrived at the correct location a half hour late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eye doctor saw us lickety-split. Both kids see just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We made it home with only planned stops and no U-turns, despite Louis’s fear that I wouldn’t be able to find my way home and would instead route us through England!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
