So this past weekend Makayla and I took a little vacation to Corpus while Josh worked a very long shift (6a-10p) on Saturday. The two nights before were very long as she would wake like 4-5 times during the night. We get to Corpus Thursday afternoon and spent the day just chilling. Noticed Makayla getting really sneezy and congested. Well matters only got worse. That whole “vacation” mom took the monitor at night so I could try and sleep. Well Thursday night, my poor mom was up all night with Makayla. She would wake like every 30 minutes or so until finally mom put her in the guestroom with her. Her congestion had gotten so bad, that I called a nurse hotline. They said at her age there is really nothing they can do. When we got to Corpus, the lovely City of Corpus decided to dig up within inches of my parents backyard so I think something was stired up and Makayla reacted to it.
Friday we headed to Victoria to visit Steve and Michelle and Makayla’s new cousin, Sydnee Reese.
Makayla did great the whole time there. Her newest thing is to give hugs and kisses. Well, needless to say when we took this picture Makayla was trying to give me a hug. After the picture Makayla then tried to give poor Sydnee, who was a asleep, a hug and kiss. While in the process of doing that she head-butted Sydnee. Sydnee didn’t know what happened until a couple seconds later when she started to cry.
Saturday, we just layed low because we were all so tired from Thursday night and traveling Friday.
Sunday, Makayla and I packed up and left around 9. I was not feeling good and was beyond exhausted because the whole time we were there I really couldn’t sleep because I was worried about Makayla. So an hour down the road, after crying because I was exhausted and Makayla was fussy..a state trooper decides to pull me over. I knew I wasn’t speeding, so I was pretty upset when pulled over. He came to the door and was like “The reason I pulled you over was because you didn’t get in the other lane when I was giving that car a ticket, you didn’t turn on your turn signal and you were following to close”…Ok..first of all, the crazy person who was in the fast lane decided to slow down from 75-60 once he saw the cop, and he was next to me so how was I supposed to get over…second of all, yes I was following close because he decided to go 15 below the speed limit and I was trying to go around him. The whole turn signal thing I have no reasoning for. I didn’t get a ticket but a warning. However, after that Makayla wouldn’t stop being fussy for about an hour. So I had to drive with one hand in her car seat and one on the wheel. Seriously Mr. State Trooper..there are TONS TONS of speeders on 37, so why pull me over for something so small when in the long run it made the trip more miserable. We finally arrived home safely Sunday afternoon.
Thank goodness for vacations, but hopefully the next one won’t be like this one.
