It was a Mr Bean day
So I get the twins all dressed and ready in their capsules, its Sunday - Tim's day off, so we look forward to getting out of the house and going somewhere for coffee and a walk. Well, after about an hour of preparation - I go out to the car - oxygen tank, 2 babies, double stroller, bag, bottles and nappies. BUGGER - my car won't unlock. I have mud up to my eyeballs, 2 capsules, a buggered wrist, an oxygen tank on my back..and my car wont open. Seems I left the driver door ajar 3 days ago and the battery is flat as a pancake.So (you know where I'm going on this)..back inside, switch over the oxygen tank, take my muddy shoes off, and find out our AA membership has expired. CRAP. Then figured out that I have free roadside assistance with Hyundai. (Thank God). OK, so waited for man to come.. charge battery and told us to drive for 45 minutes to recharge battery. So, again - 2 babies in capsules ( we had to feed them again), change over oxygen tank, set up oxygen tank and load car..we are finally going. We go for a long drive and all is good until we get to the mall 2 hours later to grab a coffee.
After waiting 20 minutes for a park, then getting the twin stroller out, the babies out and the tank out, I notice that Toby is 10 breathes away from running out of oxygen! So back in the car, fold up the stroller, babies back in their car-seats and back home to get another tank at high speed. New tank attached - back to the mall, another 20 minutes for a park ( I'm busting for the loo)- unloading -20 minutes and guess what...that was the best coffee I've ever tasted. Took us so long to get there we stayed until after dark. It was so nice to be out. DIET WISE - I missed lunch, but took a carbrite bar to the mall. I had half a pecan slice at Eve's pantry, but I'm absolutely sure I came in within my calories today.
How was your Sunday, did you run out of air?
