My.Head.Is.Pounding.
I’m POSITIVE it has everything to do with how looooooong, how very, very, very long our day was today.
We went to bed at 2AM, and got up at 7AM. I washed my hair, took my diet pills and Chantix, made sure the kids weren’t in their underwear and herded them, with hubs, out the door to the football field for an eight AM game.
I hate Morning People.
After the game (our team lost) (spectacularly) we walked half a block North and waited in the plus 34 heat for the parade to start. Our town is having it’s annual rodeo this weekend, and the thing starts off with a parade.
I was impressed with the Grease float, watching those dudded up guys doing the hand jive was hilarious. I was less than impressed with the teen girl who tried to jump onto a moving float in the parade. She fell off, and Hubs is certain that the way she landed, she will have broken her tail bone. Lucky for her, the ambulance was just three pony’s down the street and the emt’s got her scrapped off the road and into their vehicle.
What kind of example is that for kids though?
AHNYway. After the parade we had to run back home, get Kid one out of his football gear, and head to the city. My sister lost her wallet at the mall and a constable had called my father, who in turn called me, because God knows I have nothing else to do, so that I could drive her to the police station to retrieve it.
And our experience there? THAT’s a whooole other blog post!
After that we drove her home, and went for lunch. We were starving! By the time lunch was done we were looking at an hour and half before we had to get SON one to the pool to meet up with his friends, he had a slumber party planned with them, and the pool came first! (No – not at my house, I’m not dumb enough to take on ten ten year olds on my own!) We kicked around the mall, it’s across the street from the pool, so it was perfect.
After the mall and dropping Son One off at the pool, we had to do our grocery shopping. Three hours of my life I will never get back!
We got home at 6pm this evening.
Looong Day.
