Today started out fairly difficult. I had to bring Claire into the doctor so instead of bringing Samantha to my sister's house in Fond du Lac (that's where she goes for daycare) and coming back to Oshkosh to the doctor and going back to Fondy to drop Claire off, I decided to bring both the girls into the office for a few hours before our 10:30 a.m. appointment. Not the best idea.
Let's be real, the office is not a place for a two-year-old and a six-month-old. I came prepared with the necessary tools: rattles, DVD's, crayons and snacks but that didn't help me when Samantha (my two-year-old) was afraid to go to the potty in the public bathroom. There's nothing like negotiating with your child in front of your co-workers.
Soon we were on our way to the hospital to have Claire checked out and upon our arrival, Sam decided she was "weally, weally scared of the elegator (elevator)". It just seemed like everything was a challenge today. A double ear infection and one bottle of amoxacyllin later, we were on our way to Fond du Lac to drop off the girls and for me to head back to work.

I was thankful to be back in my office by 12:30 p.m. and plugging away at my To Do list. I had much to do today and was supposed to meet some girls from work at 5:30 p.m. for dinner in Appleton. A week or so ago a couple of girls in the office planned a girls night out for a bunch of us and tonight was the night. It was amazing! Great ambiance, half-off martinis and a three course fondue meal for $18/person! Everything was so delicious and the company was fantastic. We chatted about relationships, our love for cheese and chocolate, graduation and how we're spending our Furlough Day tomorrow. It was so nice to get out and talk with adults and have no interruptions.

I'm fully expecting another Reeve Union Ladies night in April and am completely looking forward to it. Next time Lisa, I'll drive. :)
