Crazy Saturday

Today was both memorable and draining. This morning I woke up to Spongebob Squarepants. I got to snuggle on the couch with Caleb and watch Saturday morning cartoons. How much better can it get than that? The plan for today was to attend the Wheel of Fortune auditions with my mother. She called me at noon to say that I had the date wrong - it was next month. Blow me down! The newspaper told me wrong. That just gives us one more month to get our game plan together.

Then I came up with the crazy idea to have a mom/daughter day. I convinced Mom to go to lunch and the movies. It would be some great bonding time. After lunch we bought our tickets, drinks, and popcorn. It was movie time! We walked in about 3 minutes late and assumed that the previews were still on. After about 10 minutes of watching the same "preview" I realized that we were in the wrong movie. Oops, wrong time slot! We took our popcorn to the car and chowed down.

Here I was thinking we were headed back home, but no! We went to not one, but two grocery stores, and Walmart. She made me go shopping three times! Have I mentioned how much I despise the grocery store? Just ask me and I'll tell you. There we are standing in front of the hams picking the perfect one. Five seconds later I find myself being smacked in the jaw by a ham. How does that happen? I got slapped by a ham. Walking down the aisles holding my jaw and looking for Cheese Whiz, I thought to myself "what happened to Wheel of Fortune?" Seriously, what happened to my dream of buying an E and winning $25,000?

After dying Easter eggs with Mom and Caleb, learning from an eight year old how to dance like Elvis, and forcing him to try a bite of the tuna casserole that he refused to eat I was so ready to go home. For those of you reading this I'm definitely giving you the short version. I must say God has a great sense of humor. My day did not at all go as planned. But I think I passed the test - I stayed calm most of the day. That is a huge accomplishment for me. Have you met my mother? Ok Mom I know you're reading this and I'm kidding - a little.

That's my day in a nutshell. Life is good!
