Monday

I have my "Taxi Hat" on!

Today like many days I feel like a Taxi driver.  I don't mind but at times I think about all the "hats" a person wears....all the "hats" that I wear.  Dad had an appointment at the VA Hospital early in the morning.  He had a letter verifying his appointment and he also got a reminder call on Saturday in the evening.  However, when he checked in he was told that the doctor had cancelled his appointment for some reason.  Dad was pretty good and didn't get too mad but told them politely not to reschedule him.  It was frustrating but we joked about how it wasn't going to take all day like we had thought.  I also told dad that it might have been a tender mercy that he will never know.  They were going to do a stress test on him and inject him with something since he refused to walk on the treadmill. (it hurts his legs)  Maybe the injection would have harmed him...we will never know.  Dad feels good and wondered why they were having him checked anyway.  He said: "If it works, why fix it?"  He had been fasting and was hungry and so we went to breakfast.  It turned out to be a better morning than I had thought.
I am picking Ivy up from School every Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday until school gets out.  I was glad I didn't have to worry about the time today since dad's appointment was cancelled.  While I was waiting for Ivy to get out of school, TJ called and said he would be home soon...just to let me know.  I told him I would just take the kids home with me for awhile anyway.  He told me that it was up to Ivy whether I pick up Zaden too or not.  That caught me off guard since I just plan on it.  I was surprised when Ivy got in the car and I mentioned picking up Zaden and she said "no".  She never says no and so I assumed that her and TJ must have talked about it.  We told TJ we were just going home and he said he would pick up Zaden.  Ivy and I had fun playing a few card games before I needed to go pick up Jared from school.  Trichelle came to get Ivy and was frustrated a little that I hadn't picked up Zaden since that is our norm and he was planning on it.  Ivy and I both felt bad but I think Ivy took the brunt of it.  I wonder why TJ even said anything?  Oh well...We had fun! (not that it isn't fun with Zaden)
