Texas Day..woke up EXTRA early to get to STARBUCKS who so very
graciously donated sleeves so we could make our FAbUlOus armadillos
(pic coming soon!!!) and guess WHAT...my car won't start....I think that right now it is also very important to let you know my kids and my attire....(mind you we DID not wach the weather) kane...sweatshirt..tennies...jeans (no coat) Hunter...sweatshirt...pants...coat (thank GOD) tennies....ME (lovely) short sleeve texas tee...khaki pants....OPEN TOED leopard shoes...denim jacket......my steering wheel WON"T budge..so I call my daddy..long story short..he and the neighbor man can't get it to work...so I am going to call the Ford House after Texas Day....don't get to go to Starbucks to get sleeves for armadillos because my daddy has to take me and my kids to work and babysitters........grrrrrrrrrr
Thursday (mid morning) sleeves arrive for the armadillos....a ROOM MOTHER saves the day! We are in the midst of Texas Day in the gym racing our CUTE horses and I hear rain...but it is sounding more like SHARP pieces of ice..rather than rain...I am thinking to myself..what on EARTH is that......
Thursday (noon) the blizzard begins......(ok..so that is a little over the top...it didn't actually start getting TOO terrible just yet) I am like..what is that SNOW?! I am THEN informed that we are supposed to get 4inches of the white stuff...we LAUGH because it was 60 degrees the day before
Thursday (noon-thirty) BLIZZARD BEGINS....naptime for 3 year olds....fun everyday..this day ESPECIALLY FUN!!! they finally go to sleep after doing snow dances (cute) mind you there are 16 three and four year olds..you can ONLY imagine :)
Thursday (noon forty-five) reading enrichment classes begin and I start making my rounds..only to see that the snow is REaLLy sticking...interesting..how can this be...the kids begin to get WILDER...because it is really snowing and blowing out there...
Thursday (noon fifty-five) I get a call from my teacher friend across town saying that they are dismissing early...at 1:30...run DON'T walk to office and inform them...they are already on it
Thurday (one"ish) announced that school will be closing in thirty minutes...have to go back into classroom and WAKE UP sleeping three and four year olds......LOVELY! start calling parents to come and pick up kids (by the way..it is now getting VERY bad outside)
Thursday (one fifteen "ish") I realize that I don't have a car at school...panic mode begins...call babysitter to bring son/and pick up her grandson ( a little trade off) in the mean time we are dismissing kids....in the SNOW...and it is TOTALLY FREEZING *remember the open toed shoes...bRRRRRRRR) ...the kids are TOTALLY wild and I am in PANIC mode..thinking that I may have to walk home :( call mom...she has no ride..she is waiting on my daddy to come and get her...think I will wait for her at my school...BAD IDEA!
Thurdsday (one forty-five ish) finally realize that I am stuck if I don't leave THEN..finally had KANE run after a friends mom and beg a ride (she just lives down the street...thank goodness)
leave school....takes 45 minutes to get home...it usually takes us 3 FLAT!
Friday...car STILL won't work......grrr...school starts late at 9am....tv stops working
mechanic comes to my house.can't fix it by beating on it with a rubber mallet....has to be towed....have extended warranty..dancing a gig...until i realize that it is 3/7/08 and it went ON 3/3/08...dreams shattered......tears commence
have to go and get kevin...pile kidsin truck...go get TUNA sandwiches at the HIPPO *YUM* get home and decide to go to blockbuster...have gift card...send kevin with STRICT instructions to NOT get something TERRIBLY ridiculous...like Patton and expect me to watch it...kevin comes home..gift card not working.....two DUMB dvds later (and oh YES he did rent patton) he finally unveils another bag with American Gangster in it....good movie..but YIKES!
