Homebound

After Etta's 30 minute Speech Therapy on Monday morning, Keith brought us home because we dropped the Pathfinder off at the collision center that morning and we were now a one car family.  He made a phone call for work and then he went back to work and we were officially HOMEBOUND!  GAH!

I SHOULD have been using this time to catch up on laundry and (finally) writing Etta's thank you notes, but I didn't.  I spent the time hanging out with Etta in her playroom and I spent the time obsessively searching for a rental unit in Destin on vrbo.com because we made a last minute decision this week to go to the beach for a few days after our trip to Headland to see my sisters and my dad (who will be in town visiting my sisters).  We're gonna make the rounds and get a little beach trip in at the same time!  As of this morning, I STILL haven't booked a place, but I feel like I'm getting closer.  I plan on making some more calls after 10:00am and hope to get this nailed down today. 

So, when I get the car tomorrow, I will be running errands ALL day!  In addition to the regular errands I would have run this week, I now need to add a few extra stops to get stuff for our trip.  I'm actually looking forward to getting out of the house.  ;)

Oh, and guess what came out of hiding this week...

Yup!  Etta's glasses!  We've all noticed her eyes crossing a lot in the last couple of weeks and before I take her back to the opthamologist, I thought I'd try to make her wear her glasses.  She's really not having any of it!  It's been a struggle.  I put them on her and she takes them off.  We do this over and over all day.  I'm pretty worn out and beginning to remember why she doesn't wear them.  :sigh:
