A day in the life of Erin :)

I am a working mom and I have "morning" duty."  This means that I get my two boys up and ready for school.  I also drive them to school.  This morning everything was going great.  We were ahead of schedule!!  I was loading up the van, getting my coffee, shouting out orders, ya know the normal morning crapola.  At one point I recall my keys dropping and thinking to myself "my hands are full, I will grab them when I put this stuff down."  Well that never happened! 

Next scene, we are all in the van ready to head to school.  Crap!  where are my keys...hmmm let me just run in real quick and find them.  30 minutes later, and after accusing my boys of hiding them (yes I am a blamer!) I give up and take our spare car.  It is a convertible and I was in such a hurry to get the boys to school on time (1st week of school and all) that I did not mess with putting the top up.  Did I mention that I have been wearing these really cute clip on hair pieces.  OK just imagine, me with my short hair placed into a tiny ponytail a head band holding everything together and my clip on pony tail!  By the time I dropped the boys off at school I was a HOT MESS!



To make a long story short...I made it to work.  Thanks God I have a super awesome boss!  Anyway, I am fretting at my desk worrying about my keys.  I am saying things like "I am going to organize the house when I get home" and "our garage is a disaster, I am going to clean that up too." Then my desk phone rings.  It is my kid's school.  They have my keys!  WTF???  I figured the call had to do with a sick child.  I did not expect to hear them say, we have your keys.  My oldest son dropped them off at the front desk.  Still trying to figure out who, what, how and where.

I sent a text to my husband and filled him in on the mornings events.  His response "You never fail to outdo yourself."  LOL
