Sometimes life tosses one to you that you didn't see coming.  Sick day with a 7 year old.  Not all bad, I generally don't complain about them because they happen about once every 18 months.  Gives us some one-on-one time, an excuse for extra cuddles and to talk about whatever she wants to talk about -- insights!
We got a RX to get filled, went to Kroger -- Mom thinks double fuel points!  Ahh, but it was the first Wednesday of the month at 9am.  That translates into Senior Free Breakfast and get your month's worth of perscriptions filled.  We wandered around waiting, but ultimately gave up went for coffee and a donut and hit the pharmacy drive thru later.  They win, the elderly, those with failing bodies and minds, looking at me and my little girl walking around the grocery store thinking, I remember when.
This journey we're on, sometimes we are the little girl, sometimes the mom, and eventually the senior citizen.  That's what we get if we are lucky, all the layers -- and 50 bonus gas points!
