The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good:

Josh and I briefly discussed getting a larger vehicle about a month ago. We test drove a Pathfinder and an Xterra, but I wasn't really impressed. So, we dropped it. The sales guy, however, never did. He'd call every once in a while and we'd remind him that we are perfectly happy with our Altima. Our car actually has a lot of room and a huge trunk. Well, yesterday, Josh got another call telling him that they need to make their numbers and will do anything to get us in a brand new Nissan Murano. We hadn't even looked at that SUV due to the price, so we were a little surprised. Josh was working, so I towed along Ryan to the dealership to test drive the car. If we got it, it had to be yesterday. Clearly, I haven't ever been involved in the car buying process to know that it takes a long time for paperwork to go through. So, the time passed and I realized that I was going to have to feed Ryan. He was actually not fussing and sleeping, but I still needed to feed him. So, what do I do? Nurse in the police station breakroom down the road. :) Ryan and I drove off in our new car and went straight to pick up big brother. I was home yesterday for a total of 1.5 hrs. Crazy!

The Bad:

Poor Ryan has a cold at 5 weeks old. Josh came home with one last week, and now Ryan has one. I'm pretty sure I'm getting one too. He's so congested, poor thing! There isn't much I can do for him other than saline spray and suctioning (which he hates!). Last night, I decided to make a sauna in the hall bath by turning the shower on hot and letting the steam fill up the bathroom. This worked like a charm and even got Ryan to fall asleep, however it also triggered the fire alarm.

At 2am.

Which was also connected to our security system.

Josh and I batted at the alarm trying to get the steam away when we heard the security woman over the intercom ask if a fire truck was needed. "No," we said. She asked for our password.

"Password?"

We had no clue. By the way, Taylor Nguyen, we must have decided when we set our alarm up to use your name.

We changed it ;)

After identifying ourselves, they deactivated the alarm. By some act of God, both boys slept through this!

The Ugly:

My poor body is rebelling. First PUPP and now...well, I don't know what it is, but it's an awful rash AGAIN on my legs, butt, and arms. I went to the dermatologist yesterday to have her tell me it was bug bites. Seriously? I've never seen bug bites all over like this, and WHERE did I get them? What kind of bugs? Gross! I'm so tired, annoyed, and over not having my body be normal. I'm tired of itching and seeing nasty red bumps on my legs. I am bleaching everything in my house today.

There you have it. In a nutshell.
