What a Day.

Yesterday was crazy busy. I knew it was going to be so I really did not want it to start, but my superpower of being able to hold the sun back has apparently not kicked in yet, so up I got and started my day. Part of the day consisted of taking my son to the dentist. Nothing major news breaking there. I had told him to let his teacher know that I would pick him up between 10 & 10:30. My son so sweetly said "Mom you have so much going on today I should just not go to school. Then you can take me to the dentist whenever you want." Nice try cutie pie. Get ready for school.
Any who, I took the kids to school, ran home fed the baby, got dressed you know all the regular stuff, then about 10 I left to pick up Michael Jr. Holy Chocolate Chip Cookies! There was no where to park. I know that the Muffins with Mom event is supposed to be next week, isn't it? Did I screw up? Great.
Found a spot in BFE to park my big boat of a van. Hurried up to the office to get my little man to find out that there is an assembly going on. Yes I could go get my son from there, no problem. Oh it is in the Multi Purpose Room. Great. One way in, through all the parents taking pictures of their little tax deductions. Let me look around for my little grouchy boy. Neat, his teacher is up on the stage giving out awards with the principal and is in the front row center of the assembly. No way to not be obvious that I am taking my son out of school. Good Gravy! How many kids are up on stage now getting an award? 40? Not kidding. The principal says "we are gonna take a break here because there is no more room up here on the stage so parents take your pictures." Choice! Gonna go grab Michael.
I am holding Belle remember, as I try to duck down and get up to the front and grab him with out to much commotion. I must have bumped about 6 parents taking pictures with Belle as I try to flag his teacher down to give him the slip of excuse and get out of there, cuz now we are LATE! Oh well, I should be used to that by now. My son then tells me" See Mom, I should have just stayed home."Next time you are right.
The dentist went well. No cavities but possible retainer or 6 mo of braces in the far future. Pretty standard. Took Michael back to school and it was his lunch recess so we ate lunch in the van until recess was over then took him back to class.Wooppee. Right?
Gets better. Now my son is not really fond of school. He tries but not his hardest because it just does not interest him to do math with no point to it. I can totally understand that. I was the same way.Who cares if Adam has 10 books and gives 1/4 of them to Lisa and 1/2 of them to Sam, how many does he have left? Well I didn't get any and he was pretty stupid to give them away and does not know how many it was. Now if you asked me the teacher has$10 and will give you half if you tell him what that would be, about 2 seconds later you will hear $5 really loud. See, its just relevance my son and I need. And because of that awards are not that common. Dag nab it! MICHAEL JR WAS THE NEXT AWARD AT THE ASSEMBLY! His teacher gave him the award when he came in the classroom. Michael had forgotten to give me the note that he was receiving and award for high testing scores on his STAR testing in 2007. Something totally incredible and not only do I take him out before he could be recognized in front of the school, I missed it for ME! I don't have one picture for his baby book to remember the day. Boo hoo.
I will try to make it better with ice cream and chocolate sauce after school today. Maybe a nice frame for the award. Oh well, he has clean teeth though.
