Ever Have a Day Like This?

Yesterday was totally insane. The good news is that everyone made it out alive… I’m not sure if they made it out well, but definitely alive.
At 9:15am I had to be in court. I would explain why, but every time I think too hard about it, I have to run to the restroom. For the life of me I could not find my court papers. Reason being, I’m sure I put them somewhere where they would not get thrown away or misplaced. In other words, I hid them. Needless to say, I hid them well. I decide not to panic and go with the information I had. When we got to the court sign in, we were not on the docket. To make this hideous story that is too long, a little shorter, follow me; We were in the wrong place….car too far away to get to in time…walked four blocks in two inch heals with dd and dh to another building…went to hearing…nothing I said was valid….left as quick as possible…walked six blocks to car.
That was only the beginning. We came home and homeschooled for about an hour. Drove to the Chiropractor’s office at 1:30pm, took off and went to my doctors apt at 2:30, then off to the dentist for Krisha to get her teeth sealed at 4:00. As soon as the sweet dental hygienist came out with Krisha, she said, “Oh, Krisha told me this is her only day off, and your off too. What are you guys going to do special tonight?” Krisha has dance rehearsal every day for at least four hours except Monday. I usually have my MK meetings on Monday night. Yesterday we were both off. That is why we scheduled every apt that had to be taken care of this week.
All the way to the car it was, “Mom, what are we going to do special tonight!?” My plans were to go home, ignore the other million things I had to do and recoup my sanity. I hated to disappoint her, but I think I did when I told her that were were just going to “be” as in quietly “exist” for about an hour and then I would answer that question.
When we got home, my husband, who is on third shift this week, was awake and ready for play time and dinner. Don’t you just wish life had a stop button? We ended up going to buy a $5 movie at Walmart, I made Chicken Lelani and salad for dinner and we watched the movie while we ate. Krisha was happy, Dh seemed happy, and I was ready for bed.
I know I should have posted this on Manic Monday, but can anyone guess why I didn’t get it done?
Kisses!
ummmm wow… i am exhausted from just reading that one… goooood Lord… Bless your heart… thinks im gonna take a nap now… and hey wheres the $5 dollar movies @ Wal Mart… i know where the $9.99 ones are…lol anywhere close…oh, wait the ones near the registers are $5???
My daughter had the day off of school yesterday and I “tried” to make it special for her too. I guess when the bar is set low (which it is in our house) a trip to the $1 movies on $.50 mondays is a WONDERFUL thing. And I didn’t have to do anything but SIT for two hours.
It was rather hectic huh. More so for you, since I went to sleep after court. I was very satisfied by our “special” evening.
