Thursday morning I was up at the usual 5am. Drove Corben to the bus stop and then Dade to seminary. I was pretty exhausted when I came back home and fell into bed. I then woke up and rolled over to see that it was 8:11am. I was supposed to be at a Parent Teacher Conference with Ella’s teacher at 8:20!!!! I flew out of bed, threw on my clothes, yelled a bye to Ryan, grabbed my bag on the way out the door and zoomed to the school. Luckily the school is just about 5 minutes away if I hit the light right and with parking and running I actually was checking in at 8:20 and made it to the classroom by 8:21 slightly out of breath and in need of a breath mint. I laughed and told Ella’s teacher what I’d just been though and then we sat and had a nice conference. I got home and posted on FB about my amazing feat. I then talked with Ryan a bit before he left for work, played with Sylvie, etc. etc. Around 2pm I happened to walk by a mirror and did a double take…MY. SHIRT. WAS. ON. BACKWARDS. Did you get that?? BACKWARDS!!! And it’s a V-neck!! In my early morning rush I’d put my shirt on BACKWARDS!!!!!!!!!! I’d worn it all around the school, talked to the Principal, dropped of some supplies at the front office…. I DIED laughing right then and there. I even went and pulled out the sticker I got at sign in… Sure enough, it’s backwards! Can you imagine what Ella’s teacher was thinking?? Yeah, sure lady, you made it here fast but have you looked in a mirror lately?? I sent her an email thanking her for not laughing at me too hard…at least not to my face! Sigh…thus is my life….
ANYWAY, Friday I did get to go out in something I managed to put on correctly and had a nice evening out celebrating my SIL’s upcoming baby!
Saturday….
I am a TERRIBLE mother. It’s true. Why, you ask? Well, first of all I spent the morning taking my son to get his Cello!! THEN, when we got home and before any of them had done the cleaning I’d asked about, I took them to our local community day! Granted, it was a tiny bit chilly and I did refuse to buy them any of the $5 funnel cakes. Here’s Ella having a great time! (What you can’t see is Sylvie sobbing at the bottom because the guy asked her to wait a sec and she decided to cry and not go on the slide.) Next is Corben climbing the wall. He’s yelling at me in the picture to stop taking photos of him… I thought he did a really good job, though.
Next, mean mommy let them get their faces painted. Well, I had Dade do it and he was grumpy about being there because he had a talk to write for church tomorrow. (They only asked him today.)
Then we went to meet new animal friends.
Then there were pony rides and golf while some children complained about having to have even come to this horrible experience….lol
And THEN…after only 1 hour THIS is the reaction I was getting. SO…laughing at the irony…I decided to have them take a picture by this knotty(naughty) tree! Ella is the only one smiling! lol
I laughed so hard I made the picture blurry so I made them retake it! LOL Ah…good times.
THEN I made them come home and tidy up ONE room so they could have ice cream in a cone and watch a movie together. I even extended their cleaning time by 15 minutes so they could get it done and not have worse day and I still had to send 2 kids to bed early.
Man, I hate days when I just have to be SO mean!! lol (Honestly, though, I think everyone just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and they did actually do a good job of cleaning that one room, even if it did take them almost an hour… They don’t have to be happy all the time, do they?)
Sunday Dade gave his talk in church. It went REALLY well. He chose Service as his topic and made a great joke near the end that really drew folks in. It’s fun to see how much people enjoy Dade.
