So I get a call from the kid yesterday, late morning.
"Um, Mom...I can't go back to class until I get this shot..."
Aw, crud. He'd brought home a paper at the end of last year and it disappeared and I forgot all about the shot. Until the phone call.
All right, so off I go to school to pick up Sonshine. After a quick detour to the house to get a book, we go to Care Now. Sign in. Go to Wendy's for a quick bite. Back to Care Now to finish waiting.
"Oh, excuse me, Sonshine's mom? We just ran out of the TDAP vaccination, but the Arlington location has it. I've called ahead and they know you're coming."
Lovely. Back in the car we get and drive for fifteen minutes, wait another thirty, get the shot, wait ten for any bad reactions, wait to pay and then finally drive Sonshine back to school. (What--he had band practice after school--he *had* to go back.)
I finally get back to the office and try to figure out where I left off and what I had left to do. Did I mention that I felt like I was coming down with something...
On the up side, it was a gorgeous day and I got to be out in it rather than stuck in my chilly office. :)

Mothering, even the best of kids, is an adventure in urgency and patience.
