Totally Tuesday

So today was a big day, Mikey started preschool! I got up and got everyone ready to go, Mikey had a melt down because he thought it was proper attire to go shirtless to preschool. I gave up and decided to just finish dressing him and combing his hair when we got there.

When I dropped Neal off they already had the Golf Team posted and he gave me the thumbs down from the entryway. He of course seemed unconcerned that he didn't make it, but I have to admit my heart broke just a little for him. I know it's good for them to experience disappointment like this, and truthfully we were expecting it since he'd never swung a golf club before Sunday night, but it didn't stop me from getting my hopes up for him and feeling that little twinge of sadness for my little dude.


Got all the big boys delivered to school and off we went to get Mikey schooled. When we got to his preschool it wasn't quite time to go in, he was sooooo anxious, when the opened the door he grabbed my hand and rushed us down the stairs, as soon as his feet hit the bottom he let go of my hand and ran to his classroom. I felt left behind calling out "wait for me"! He sat right down and started playing with a puzzle and I left, not lingering long enough for him to get upset.











Then Eli and I dropped my car off for some maintenance and took a stroll downtown. We ended up at my old office at the courthouse and had a nice visit with the girls. I got to find out that karma is a wicked cool revenge as I heard that one of the two people that caused my burnout in politics had found her share of misery. It was nice to see that come full circle, bwahahaha!

After that visit we strolled on down to the library, and Eli took a nap while I checked my email and facebook. Then it was time to head back to the car place. We had just enough time to head to the post offce and Target before getting the Mikester.

When I went in to pick Mikey up he didn't see me right away, so I just observed. He was so in his element, being cute of course! Then when I caught his eye he yelled "momma, momma, momma" and ran to me with arms wide open. But we couldn't leave until he showed me a few things including his very first piece of preschool art work!

I took him to Wendy's for a quick lunch, then off we went to Hobby Lobby. Now here's where my scatter-brained-mommie self got to get embarassed and use the word "doh". As we left, Hobby Lobby I got Eli in, and Mikey needed a fresh butt. If only I'd listened when he said "potty" all this could have been avoided, huh? I get him cleaned up, buckled up, and all settled and climb right into my car. Get myself settled in and back up. My car doesn't want to go in reverse well and I hear this strange noise. At first I think I accidentally put it in 4wheel drive but nope, my next thought is panic as I consider it could be my transmission going out. I pull back up and hear a honk, and the nice lady informs me that my stroller is behind my car, well "behind" is not the right descriptions, I get out and see it's actually UNDER my car. Nice. I had to pull up more and then yank to get it out from under there. I did get it somewhat shut and loaded up without too many bystanders watching. I wanted a new stroller, but heck, not today.

From there we go pick up Neal's gym clothes and then pay for a roll-off for Chris' job tomorrow and make it home with 5 minutes to spare before Jacob and Zach's bus is due to arrive....and the phone rings. Zach missed the bus, little turd! Luckily the car was still running because I was getting all my stuff out before waking Mikey and Eli to get them out. I get Jacob off the bus and run up to the school to get Zach.

Now it's homework time for the boys, and I'm doing my best to fight my afternoon sleepy time.
