Holy Saturday, Batman!

Let's see... In the past two hours, I've:

  • Had to remind TheBoy that it's 35ºF outside and that he needs more than his soccer shirt and shorts unless he wants to freeze to death about 187 times.
  • Tweaked, fiddled, and otherwised cursed at the computer for nearly an hour before realizing that the reason it wasn't connecting to the internet had to do with the modem connection, not the PC (here's a tip from your buddy Jay: If you have an alternate computer, use it first, rather than screwing around for 45 minutes...)
  • Torn the house apart looking for BabyGirl G.'s soccer shirt.
  • Reminded the kids that we really, REALLY need to start getting ready RIGHT NOW about 30 or 40 times.
  • Torn the house apart looking for my car keys, only to find them hanging on the hook right where they belong (who did that?)
  • Taken four Tylenol because I feel like the morning after and there wasn't a night before.

Or, as any other parent with small kids knows, we could just say, "normal Saturday"...

That is all.

I did that, too.

Not an issue today....

"•Torn the house apart looking for BabyGirl G.'s soccer shirt."

..... and her shin guards..... and burgundy outer socks..... and had to remind her her cleats went on AFTER her shorts and shinguards....


"•Reminded the kids that we really, REALLY need to start getting ready RIGHT NOW about 30 or 40 times."


It only took me telling Eldest and Nextest twice to get them moving- fairly self propelled, those two!

"•Torn the house apart looking for my car keys, only to find them hanging on the hook right where they belong (who did that?)"

Try a snap hook or carabiner hooked to your pants... if you're movin' and not jinglin', find your pants.

"•Taken four Tylenol because I feel like the morning after and there wasn't a night before."

Acetaminophen bad. Aspirin good.

Enjoy your Saturday, or what remains of it!

Let me guess, it would be inappropriate for me to point out that I slept till noon and enjoyed every minute of it?

Ayup. Ours spent the night with the grandparents, so I slept in and then went to a gun show.
