Lost my car and call to poison control center




So, one would look at my day yesterday and think that it was friday the 13th, that I must have walked under a ladder, ran into a black cat and broke a mirror. Yesterday morning my little sister flew in to spend Mckenzie's 2nd birthday with her. She arrived at before 5 am even though her flight was scheduled to arrive at 5:15am. Anyway, I am a little scatter-brained that early in the morning and I forgot to look to see where I parked the car. Once I picked Bree up, we had to walk around trying to find the car. I couldn't even remember which of the 7 levels of parking I had parked on. After about 20 minutes, a garage shuttle driver stopped and asked if we needed help. It ended up taking another 40 minutes of driving up and down each row on each level AND 2 other shuttles doing the same for us to find the car. We ended up finding it on the ground level.
A few hours later, Mckenzie decided to take advantage of me forgetting to lock the cupboards under the kitchen sink and play with all the "fun" chemicals. Apparently, the cascade tablets are her favorite; especially the powder side of them. So, I washed her up and tried forcing chocolate milk (she won't drink milk) and water down her and called the poison control center.
Fortunantely, all is well and the rest of the day went by pretty smoothly. Oh, how can I forget! Mckenzie got to see ELMO live! They're promoting the new "Abbycadaby" character for Seseame Place; a fun park for Seseame Street in Pennsylvania. So, we took Mckenzie to the mall and she looked like a little Elmo groupie. She was in absolute awe of how big Elmo was. She refused to look at me while Elmo was on stage, so the pictures didn't turn out very well, but here are a couple.
We'll see how this morning ends up...
