The Impossible Girl has this great little toy that plays music to dance to. She loves to push the buttons until it plays a Freeze Dance.
Music goes off until the announcer says "Freeze!" and it's quiet until the music and the dancing kicks in again. It's her favorite dance and it's too cute not to be dragged into it.
Today was a freeze dance for sure. Yesterday, the good ole' T broke down. AAA towed it to a shop and I waited all day for results. Near the end of today we learned it's likely a computer issue that this shop isn't equipped to handle. They were kind enough to give me a few days to figure out how to tow it to the dealership for possible review, but odds are the repair will cost more than the car is worth at this point. We weren't planning to buy a new car for hopefully 2 years, much less have it all put together to get a new (to us) one in a few days. But it looks as if we'll be heading that direction quickly. I've spend the evening reshuffling the client load and looking up the bus route to and from the local YMCA so I have a plan for tomorrow evening. Toddler's first ride on a public bus! This could be an adventure. (Luckily, there is no Forest Preschool this week, so 1 less thing to shuttle to and from while we figure out our next car-venture.)
In the mean time, an annual check up with my doctor quickly turned into a biopsy, lab tests, and an appointment for a saline infusion ultrasound. I'm no stranger to these kinds of work ups, though today's wasn't exactly what I was expecting.
In the overwhelming craziness of the past 2 days, it is so easy to just freeze up.
BUT as we navigated all that, My Sailor took the Impossible Girl to the park while I was at the appointment.
We had small victories in potty training, and were able to sit down to lunch together before My Sailor went off to work.
There is a saying in military life - Shit hits the fan once the ship deploys. (Literally, something big breaks or someone gets sick or something happens within 48 hours of them leaving - WITHOUT FAIL no matter how prepared we try to be.) Hopefully we're getting our shit out of the way before the boat leaves. ;)
