When I got home, I checked my email for about 5 minutes before Savannah called my cell phone to tell me she had forgotten something & needed me to bring it. Knowing that I needed to go to the bank & post office too, I went ahead & grabbed those things before I left. Got the things Savannah needed delivered, went to the bank drive thru and to the post office before I headed back home. (oh, I also stopped at the donut shop for a pig in a blanket ....that chocolate cake breakfast was already wearing thin & I was feeling shaky....nothing like a good blood sugar drop to round out the morning!) So anyway, I did all that & headed home. Two blocks from our house, a cat ran out in front of me.... I hit it....and killed it. I felt just AWFUL but there was no way I could've stopped in time when it darted out in front of me. I went 2 houses down, turned around & went back to see the owner (a teenaged boy!) walking out toward the street. I think he saw the whole thing, so I HOPE that he realizes I tried to stop. I told him how sorry I was & drove home feeling like a horrible pet murderer.
I had several things waiting on me at home so I got started on the dishes when the phone rang. A girlfriend from church was calling. I am her accountability partner & last night she was going to take care of some things we've been talkingabout, so I was expecting that she'd call this morning to tell me how it went. She was driving though & her phone kept cutting out, so we had to hang up & call back several times before we finally gave up. While I was talking to her I found Andrew's Concerta {his ADHD medicine} on the kitchen table where he had been sitting this morning. (which explains the goofy way he was acting this morning....I should've known better!!) So off I go again, getting back into the car to take him his medicine at school. By the time I got done with that, it was 11:40. My kids usually eat lunch around 11:00, so they were getting whiney. It hit me that we are out of lunch meat & only one of them likes PB&J....we're out of fish sticks & chicken nuggets.....no soup in the house....ugh, so Burger King it is. I grabbed them some chicken strips & a salad for me and headed back home.
We ate quickly & I hopped into the shower. Before I got in, I made sure to reenforce to the girls how they did NOT need to answer the phone or the door if someone called/knocked........and apparently they actually heard me this time! By the time I stepped out of the shower, the cell phone was ringing---and it was Larry calling to tell me that the electrician would be arriving in 5 minutes to look at the wiring for the new bathroom. EEEEEKKKK! I was still wrapped in a towel with dripping hair at that point! I quickly threw on some clothes & combed my wet hair before he arrived-----but during that 2 minutes, the phone rang 3 (yes, count 'em---THREE) times!
The electrician came & did his thing (INSIDE the house might I add...where it looks like a tornado has hit 2 or 3 times). He left & I went back to return all the phone calls that came during that 5 minute span while I was trying to get dressed & dried off. I have finally finished that now...and I've got an hour til time to go get the kids from school.
Phew......a mother's job is never done! LOL!
When I picked them up after school, we went straight over to Toys R Us for Andrew to pick out a new bike (his birthday present) & then had to stop at Walgreen's for some stuff to put on Samuel's hand. {By the way, he's had some weird "thing" on his hand for about a week. Please pray that it goes away soon!} By then it was supper time, so we had to get fast food (yuck...twice in one day!) & head on to church.
Boy, I CRASHED when I finally slowed down for bed.
