My Jeans strike again!

So Natalie has been having itchy eyes for the past week or so and then today she starting sneezing. Ben has been sick the past 3 days so we decided to go off to the Dr -AGAIN-

It seems that my genes have given Natalie seasonal allergies. Wonderful.

Since it is blooming down here I guess she is miserable. So the Dr prescribed Zyrtec for her. I feel so bad to be giving Natalie so much medicine all the time! She is on Keppra for her epilepsy, Motrin for her teething, Orajel for her teething, and now Zyrtec for allergies. Poor baby!

I know I spelled genes wrong in the tittle of this blog -don't comment me about my spelling!- But when I was a kid whenever I heard people saying stuff like "Its just in my genes" I always thought they meant their pants. Even to this day whenever someone says that I think about jeans... Ive got issues



In other news I almost killed my whole family yesterday.

Ben has been working 12 hour days for the past 6 days in a row. So we decided to spend the whole day together as a family since we haven't really seen much of each other lately. We decided to take Natalie to the aquarium in Atlanta. Ben and I thought she would enjoy looking at the fish since she is really getting interested in the world around her. Atlanta is about a 2 hour drive from here and about 20 minutes from the aquarium there was a major accident on the highway. So we sat in bumper to bumper traffic for like a half hour. Then we decided to have the GPS take us on a back road to the aquarium instead to sit in traffic all day. So we get off at the next exit and head off on some back roads.

It ends up that it took us an hour out of the way and we were too late to get into the aquarium before it closed. That stinkin GPS also took us through the ghetto. Its not the first time that GPS has taken us thought some pretty bad areas. We actually drove by the State Penitentiary.... lovely

So we ended up turning around and just going home. People always wonder why I hate traveling. Its because stupid crap like this ALWAYS happens to us.

So back to the killing part. We were on like a 8 lane highway trying to get back on 75 when Ben starts screaming at me that we have to get over or we are going to miss our ramp. So I am trying to cross over 3 lanes of traffic when out of nowhere I am about to side swipe a Mercedes SUV. I was screaming I was so scared. But thanks to my EXCELLENT driving skillz we are all alive and well. I did however have a few tears because I was so scared. But we are all home, alive, and not too eager to drive back to Atlanta anytime soon.
