Never say...

Never say that your day can not get any worse!!!! Friday was just one of those days. Our sweet Jenna has been sick for the past few days so she has not been sleeping well. Therefore neither has mommy. We took her to the doctor on Thurs and Friday she just did not want to let go of mommy. That is fine until you throw her active brother in the mix so Friday was finding creative ways to play with him and ride her on my hip. At about 3 the doctor called to let us know to start her medicine so we were getting ready to head to the pharmacy to pick it up. Well my too smart boy locked the doors on the car and when I got both of them strapped in the car, I shut the door! So there they are strapped in and locked in. I tried not the go into panic mood but I was quickly approaching this emotion!!! I asked Nate to unlock the door ( he can reach the lock with his foot) to this he replies no mommy do it. Calmly I say no mommy needs you to and this conversation continues. I then pulled out the incentive - reese's. I told him that I would give him a piece of candy if he would unlock the door for mommy. I then added that I might even give him two! So this got him motivated and the door was opened. Lesson learned! Then we traipse into target get the medicine and are on the way home when mommy looks up and sees the cop car! Yes I got pulled over. He asked me if there was a family emergency-I guess I could have given him my sob story about my day but hey I was speeding and just ready to get home. The funny part comes when I look in the rear view mirror and at the red light sits my sweet husband trying to figure out if this is his wife or not. So I just leaned forward and waved. As I walked in the door I said don't ever say this day can not get worse! Being the great man that he is he said you go do what you need to I got the kids. I think he knew that I was ready to give it up!! Needless to say the weekend has been much better:)
