Sick kids and a nail to the tire

It has really really really been a crazy for the past 3 days. My poor daughter has been sick with a stuffed up head. The poor thing, she has been miserable and hasn't been able to go to and have fun with her friends. I have been up for 2 nights straight. Literally the total amount if sleep I have had in 2 nights is 6 hrs. Last I checked, it was summer break and I was suppose to be getting all sorts of sleep.

Today, I decided it was time to take my baby girl to get her ears checked. Thankfully, no ear infections, she has a slight case of vertigo. So it explains everything she has been doing the past 2 days. We have some bumps and bruises and a sick tummy. It has been a few interesting days around here with this illness.

I was so happy I loaded my kids into the van and all the sudden I see it. THIS HUGE metal object in the tread of my tires. I had a bolt in my tire, I of course immediately get upset. I don't know a lot about cars, except that they don't have blinker fluid or muffler bearings. (Inside joke from my high school days). I got my sleepy self to call my husband and to just take it to the auto shop. I have to say how happy I am we got a Road Hazard Policy for our tires. It was free, but having a toddler with vertigo and no stroller a trip to the mall well... This experience is going to be a fun one well, not that, but interesting for sure.

The gentleman behind the counter told me 2.5 hours, so off we went. I tried so hard to get my daughter to stay seated as much as possible. With an almost 3 year old that lasted maybe 2 minutes total. We had to go to the princess store, absolutely had to go. We managed to go to a few stores and it was, in all honestly heavenly. My kids were so well behaved, for 2.5 hours going all over the mall. I got my glasses adjusted, I tried on shoes for both kids, I got a lot done. It was super amazingly a smooth trip, I signed our work orders and left. We went and ran the rest of our errands and it was great, I rewarded with cookies.
