Cabin Fever

Today was supposed to be Luka's 9 month well baby check-up.  I had been scared to drive for a couple of days now.  On Saturday I went to the UPS office to pick up some boxes... I felt like I was driving in a blizzard. No joke.  I was going no faster than 20 mph the entire way, wondering if the office had even bothered to open.  My CRV got a little swurvey at one point, but I managed to get there and back safe and sound.  Needless to say for the next several days I opted to stay home!  Staying indoors with a 9 month old baby can be tedious!!  There were two days in which Luka could not even go on a walk because the air was so cold and howling.  But, today the weather has finally let up and he had a check-up that I was eager to go to.  I gave myself plenty of time to get there.  Luka was bundled up, buckled in, driven slowly, parked, unbuckled, trekked through a patch of deep snow, circled back to get into another entrance, and into the lobby we find that...... Pediatrics is closed!  No one called to tell us!  You would think they'd understand the great ordeal it can be to go anywhere with a baby/child.  You would think they'd have the courtesy to call.  So, back through the snow, to the car... Luka irritated, Mama irritated... buckle in, drive slow, unbuckle, and home.  But at least we got out of the house.
