God does have a sense of humor...

You know what I hate? When your kids forget something they need at school and your partially in the wrong for not helping to make sure they got everything before they leave...

This morning, Bruce took Mia to school because we have to every morning b/c we live 3/4 of a mile away...too far for her to walk alone, and too short for a bus to get her..that's a whole other story but anyways, I even packed her lunch today and with them walking out the door she had to go back b/c she almost forgot her lunch. I said Oh good thing b/c you would have been buying and I wouldn't have brought it to school. (ha ha ha under my breath) Bruce had to go help a friend all day so he went on his way. Well 10 minutes later I get a call and on the i.d. is Mia's school...I was like what?!? Well I answered and it was Mia and she forgot her planner that she needs everyday. It's a new 3rd grade thing I guess..I was like CRAP, can't you use something else? No Mom...Will you get in trouble if you don't have it? Yes, Mom...Damn it..

So there's me ratty hair, no bra, and pajama pants, and Oliver in his pj's...So I let Oliver finish eating his breakfast, put a bra on, throw a hat on myself, put a coat on Oliver and grab the planner muttering obscenities under my breath and walk out the door. If I could have just ran it there no problem, but I have my little one in toe that makes it harder...Put him in the car, strap him in...drive to the school...unbuckle him take him in with me, have the planner almost fall, walk into the school...Get looked at like I'm some psycho in pajama pants, hope Mia doesn't see me, and hand in the planner...Take Oliver back out, strap him back in, and drive home...Unbuckle him, and go into the house...WHEW...I guess God does have a sense of humor.... =)
