THE PLAN:1. Take Grandson and Granddaughter Christmas shopping. The two wanted to pick out their own gifts, and we did not have time to do so before Christmas, as they were at their mom's house.
2. Take Granddaughter to her friends house for the gathering before the Sadie Hawkins dance at her school (her first date!)
3. Bring Grandson to my house to stay until his dad got off work.
Simple.
THE REALITY:
1. Arrived at the home of GD and GS to learn that GD had typical symptoms of a bladder infection, so we had to make a detour to the Urgent Care Clinic. TBTG for the clinic, because we avoided the nightmare of the ER. Indeed, GD had a high infection count.
2. While we waited our turn at the clinic, GS became bored and restless, so I called Grandpère to pick him up and prevailed upon him to take GS to the game store to buy his Christmas present.
3. Dropped off prescriptions at pharmacy.
4. Went to Walmart for items GD had to have.
5. Returned to my house to wait for medications to be ready.
6. Picked up prescriptions.
7. Returned to the home of GS and GD to pick up GD's clothes for the dance and for spending the night at her friend's house and to pick up GS's game player, so he could play his new game at my house.
8. No time for Christmas shopping with GD.
9. Finally ate lunch around 4:00 PM.
10. Took GD to her friend's house.
All for the love of the two pictured above in the pool from a few years ago. Not quite so simple as I planned, but all's well that ends well - I guess.
I know. This post is boring. But I feel better.
