So for about half of us the day started super early. We don't all go in at the same time. The beauty of being a 2 car family. However, the 2 car luxury is only a benefit if the car keys for the second car are left for the other parent. Oops! A panicked call and 20 minutes later, both vehicles are humming down the road.
Appointments completed and the first group is off to Grandpa's. Wednesdays with Grandpa! The girls and I complete our exams, select glasses and pay. Pick up lunch, stop at the grocery store and finally arrive at Grandpa's. Then a whirlwind trip home, a quick dinner and back out the door to church.
So where does the quoteable come in??
Well my sister has been trying to get a hold of me. If we didn't live in two different time zones our availability to chat with one other would probably be at the same time. Since she feels she must live near the mountains and so far away, we find it impossible to live in the same time zone and connect most days.
So on the way home from church with me yawning, I try to finally return all of her unanswered calls. Is she able to talk? NO! But she was quick to say, get the kids in bed quick when you get home so we can talk. Well the ever cooperative younger sister who listens to the Older Bossy Sister all the time is quick to announce to the kiddos, "Aunt 'Shell says you are to go to bed the minute we get in the door so she can talk to me!"
To which Little Princess responds with, "Why?"
Because..... she wants to talk to me and has been calling all day and if you guys go to bed she will be able to talk to me uninterrupted.
To which Little Princess asks very seriously, "Can she just call you on Saturday?" "At 8 P.M."
Really ? ? ? Did she really just ask me this? ?
To which Fun Mom chokes and responds with, "That is 3 days away."
LP responds, "Yeah, but I want to stay up."
The whole time, I am thinking Saturday... hmmm, bridal shower, dad has class, 2 kids have a birthday party to go to, one child has a church thing to go to, groceries, laundry... Yep, I am free on Saturday to schedule a phone call with my sister! N * O * T * ! ! 8pm....that is the getting ready for bed witching hour....showers, teeth, delays, one more thing mom! Oh yeah, no phone call happening there. No wonder they think I don't have a life.
