Here's to a year in Baghdad!

I've decided to try and be better at blogging and maybe detail some of our lives for Matt since he will be gone for the year! We'll have to see how it goes! My history at blogging hasn't been so great. Since Matt is gone for the next two days I will start today.

Poor Olivia! She has a UTI. If you've ever had one you will know they are painful! But we got her to a doctor today and got her some antibiotic. In order to test for a UTI you have to pee in a cup! That was entertaining! Olivia....not so willingly finally gave up some fluid after a lot of coaxing, a lot of water, and some bribes! When finished she ran to the front of the clinic and announced rather loudly and to the amusement of those in the waiting room that she peed in the cup!

Went to CVS to fill her prescription. They gave her a liquid antibiotic without any flavoring! Yuck! I asked them to include grape flavoring and they charged $2.99! That was almost a third of the cost of the medicine itself! Ridiculous! Flavoring should come included with nasting tasting medicines!

We also went to a park to play for a little bit today. (This was part of the bribe at the medical clinic.) VERY disappointing park. Not much there and the equipment was kind of old. But hopefully we will find a better place to play tomorrow. Now I've got to entertain the girls for 4 more hours before bedtime! Kind of hard to do in a hotel. But I will figure out something!
