Traffic is worse on the way home from Baltimore. Unbelievable! We call September and ask her to meet us for dinner at a place on our way because kids are getting fussy and ride is taking WAY too long. We stop at Walmart and grab a couple of things while waiting for September.
We are looking at toys when Eliza falls and Spence grabs her arm. Eliza really starts to cry and hold her wrist. The way she acts I assume her arm is hurt. Finally, September arrives and we decide to go to an Insta Care. Ok, nothing is as easy as it sounds when you factor in the ridiculous traffic. Spence takes one car, I drive the other one with the kids and September. Oh, I forgot that first we all got in one car and sped to a little clinic but there are so many people waiting we decide to go back to Fredericksburg.
Oh my gosh! This is how it went down.
We are all starving.
We are going 10 - 15 mph.
Benjamin starts fussing.
Benjamin vomits.
(Here's where I was glad I was driving).
September stares into the backseat not knowing what to do.
Sweet Benjamin, who is covered in throw up, says, “Napkin?”
We start to laugh. Could things get any worse?
September complains bitterly about trying to mop up vomit from the front seat.
September starts feeling sick because she is so hungry.
We laugh so hard that September starts having contractions.
Finally arrive at insta-care.
Poor Eliza has dislocated elbow.
Clinic fixes elbow.
Spence changes Benjamin’s clothes.
We go to Lone Star Steakhouse.
Spence times September’s contractions.
Thankfully they stop.
I go back to hotel, glad that this day is over.

Oh. My. goodness. Are you kidding?
Wowza.
You forgot to mention:
1) you laughed so hard at Benjamin's napkin request that you almost peed your pants. And it's a good thing we were only going 5 mph or else we may all be dead.
2) The after dinner barfing
3) Screaming Eliza who was supposed to not feel anymore pain after having her elbow popped back into place.
Oh my!! You probably need another vacation after that vacation! I think when I'm not surrounded with swine flu germs we should take a trip with no work, no kids, no annoying people (think about it and you'll get it) and eat lots and lots of yummy food! Oh adn remind me to tell you about these toilets I saw on t.v. that they just put in on fishermans warf. It sanitizes the whole stall, seat, everything after each person! I thought you would like that in your house!
No one says that Grandma (mom)told September that Eliza had dislocated her elbow as soon as I heard what happened (even from 2500 miles away). This is a very common problem with young children. Dr. Grandma does usually know what shes talking about. I knew she would be okay, but it is pretty painful until it is put back in place.
