I should have just crawled back into bed and stayed there this morning… Oh wait, I can't do that… I have two kids… Anyway, nice idea… We started the day off by being late for Flo's gym class at the YMCA because she had a meltdown about me brushing her hair, then it took her a half hour to get one sock on, and the she started crying for no apparent reason… this is much like any time when I actually want to get somewhere on time…
Then, mid-day I went grocery shopping… came home and checked my account balance and realized they charged my debit card twice for the same order. So, I called, they told me to come back in… I went back in, and they told me to go home and someone would call me tomorrow… GREAT! Not like I needed the money anyway…
Next, as a finale to my exhausting day, Flo was having ANOTHER meltdown because she wanted to go OUT to dinner, and I told her we didn't have enough money to go out, so we're eating at home… Eating out can be an expensive venture these days… and we do it too much as it is… So, while I'm trying to make this fabulous home-cooked meal (okay… it was just perogies and veggies), and Flo's having her tantrum, Darren dials Grandma's number, so Flo can chat… Well, he obviously dialed the wrong number, but we didn't realize it for a few minutes, and she was talking to some guy… The first thing she says is "We don't have any money and I'm starving!"… Then I hear her saying "Florence", like someone's asking her name… I thought that was an odd thing for my mom to do, so I picked up the phone… Turns out the guy on the phone is the husband of a girl I worked with TEN years ago… I just happened to recognize his last name… WEIRD! So, he probably thinks I'm some nut job that starves my kids and hits up Grandma for money… Oh well… Interesting coincidence anyway…
So, now that we've consumed our savory dinner, I'm off to do dishes and pray that the kids fall asleep soon so Darren and I can veg together on the couch. We have someone else coming to look at the house again tomorrow… It seems to be showing a lot, but it's so hard to keep it looking great… not that I'm a total slob, but it's challenging with the kids to keep it looking really tidy… Ya, like every mom on the planet doesn't have the same problem…
