A Long Day

My day started out good. I enjoyed a delicious toasted marshmallow mocha for breakfast. I visited my dog at her new owner's house and was so happy that she is doing well. I stumbled upon a yard sale and bought a Jumperoo for Mady for $5!! I needed one and finding it at that price made my day!

Then I went to pick Logan up from school and it all started to slowly slip down hill. You know when your child's teacher says she needs to talk to you that your angel is in trouble. It still holds true. A parent brought a picture to the teacher that Logan had drawn and given to the parent's kid.

Please to enjoy...

Bryan and I had to sit down with Logan and explain to him that it is NOT OK to draw pictures of your classmates "killing" nor is it OK to hit another kid on the playground.

Later, I get a phone call from Bryan saying that someone (thankfully) just called the post office and said they found Bryan's signed paycheck on the playground at the school. (Thank you to whomever you were for not stealing my house and car payment). Apparently it fell out of my pocket while I was getting the low down on my child's lack of social skills from his teacher.

I then drove to Jerome to visit my mom and grandma and left my cell phone at my grandma's house. My cell phone is my life line.

While in Jerome, I was reminded that as much as I loved growing up there, I never, ever want to live there again.

Amidst all of these seemingly trivial things, I am dealing with screaming, crying, hyper children...and my blood pressure is only rising.

I decided that the only way to end the stressful day was to go to my favorite place....

Dinner was less than perfect. I did get my margarita and the food was good, but they crammed all 6 of us into a booth. While eating extremly close to a very wiggly 5 year old is no fun, it pales in comparison to having to try and enjoy your meal when the restaurant is easily 90 degrees. We were so hot! I scarfed my food down before I sweat into my plate and came home for a much needed quiet evening.

In retrospect, it doesn't seem as bad as it felt earlier. Regardless, tomorrow will be a better day. Right?

At least this makes me smile.
