And Exactly When Would You Like Me To Do That?

So B was cleared (by me) to drive early March so I calculated (yes, because I am that obsessive) my "stats" on what I accomplished in the 80 days between when he broke his leg and when he began driving again....
3 tours of local day care centers to figure out what to do with X now that our kindergarten is half day rather than full day

1 weekend trip to my parents house

5 functions at church

4 meetings with our local school district regarding IEPs

1 toddler (almost) potty trained

3 parent/teacher conferences, sometimes the parent, sometimes the teacher

26.5 days of actually going to my job and working

1 post placement meeting with our social worker (who thankfully didn't take the fact I was laughing about everything to be a sign I had gone completely crazy)

2 Girl Scout events that I was personally responsible for coordinating and running (including one with K along for the ride in a backpack carrier on my back)

12 meetings for all the things I foolishly committed to without thinking that sometime in the future B might break his leg

8 miscellaneous appointments for unspecified reasons

38 kid related events/lessons/social events (and apparently they have way more interesting social lives than I do

63 appointments with doctors, speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists or other people I am hoping my insurance company will pay (Yes, we blew through all $3000 of our yearly medical deductible before the end of January)

and finally, a grand total of 5035 miles driven in 80 days. So to put it another (somewhat more disturbing) way... In the last 80 days I spent 177.5 hours or 7.4 DAYS in my car.

Thank God for satellite radio....
