Nothing big- he said it didn't look like strep, just a regular infection that's been keeping her sick off and on over the past few weeks. We wound up going to a different Urgent Care than we usually do. It's located in the hospital, but has limited hours. It didn't open until 10.
After we got done, I took her to Walmart to fill the prescription, which took almost an hour. -sigh- Poor kiddo was so tired, I laid her in the cart and she used her coat for a pillow so she could lay down and get some sleep. I picked up a few odds and ends while we waited.
By the time we left, it was almost time for Chris's meds, so I called and had him go to the office early, and went there to get those to him, before bringing Gilly home. Turns out, despite asking 5 times if he had his lunch, he did not. It was in the fridge. I offered him Gilly's, which was in her backpack in the car, but he didn't want a Tinkerbell lunch. Go figure.
I went ahead and checked with the office, and gave them $2 for a hot lunch for him. He'll be happy, he loves hot lunch. I hate $1.90 a day, though.
Now, we're home, Gilly's got a bed on the sofa, and I threw in Madagascar 2 for her, which came as a surprise in the mail yesterday from Columbia House. I hate the automatic mailings. I never remember to turn down the directors selection. This month and last we got surprise movies. At least they were one's we liked. Last month was Saw 5.

I can't believe your elementary lunch is that much...oh my! Our middle school lunch is $1.75 (elementary is $1.60)....and I've concluded it's cheaper in the long run to have Angela eat hot lunch. This way I don't buy nearly as much "snack" food, like chips, pretzles, etc for lunches....which end up getting eaten here instead of in their lunch.

I do that with the Disney Movie Club...usually I remember to decline, but the other day we got the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian which I wasn't expecting.
Hot lunches are crazy expensive aren't they? Gideon gets his for $.50 a day reduced fee. Thank goodness for that! Though half the time they serve something he won't eat.
Hot lunch is $2.50 here!!
