I really need to get a portable microphone so I can dictate my posts while I'm alone in the car. When I'm driving and not really thinking about anything in particular I come up with the best stuff, but when I finally sit down to write it just comes out disjointed and crazy and full of run-on sentences. Ah, I guess that's what's fun about it.
Today I was lying in bed waiting for Sarah to go to the bathroom so I could read to her. All of a sudden she cried out my name in horror. Apparently she had a bracelet on and decided to take it off while she wiped because she didn't want it to get dirty but then she accidentally dropped it into the toilet. Right into a pile of poop. I calmly reached in and picked it up and then washed it and dried it off (and my hands) and attempted to give it back to her. She was not interested and I'm not sure she will wear it ever again. I don't blame her, but I'm sure some of her stuff has been through worse and she's continued to use it.
That's just the cherry on top of my crazy back to school week. However, in the wee hours of tomorrow morning I get to get on a plane to Nashville to have a lovely girls weekend with my two besties from college, April and Renee. It will be a nice long weekend with no children and lots of quality adult time, which means shopping and drinking and gossiping and all that good stuff.
I'm so glad that I have a wonderful husband that not only lets me go on these trips but encourages it. He knows that I need some time to regroup every once in a while and it makes everybody happier when Mommy gets a break. I may not miss the kids that much while I am gone, but I will be happy to see them when I get back and will be ready to take on the next pile of crappy problems.
