Satan and Middle Fingers???

Okay, so ever since Dresden came home from school last year, and let the girls know that the "middle finger" means something bad, Gaby is fascinated with the idea... Well, she is always talking about it, even though she has no idea what it means... thank heavens! She just knows it is something bad! Well, we are walking through the shampoo isle at Target yesterday, and if you know Gaby at all, you know that she pretty much hollers everything she says!!! So, next thing you know, she hollers, "Mom, we can put our middle finger up at Satan though, because Satan is BAD!" Okay, you can imagine, that I kinda wanted to laugh and hide at the same time! I obviously told her that it was never okay to do that to anyone, even if they are not a nice person! Oh My Goodness... They sure do spin me for a loop!!!

First Day of School!!!

Okay, so our first day of school was not like any other.. I am sure! To start off Aryana starts school the next day! Here goes! To start things off, I decided that I would go to bed nice and early so that I could get up in the morning early and get myself ready before the kids even woke up! Ha.. my brain was not having it! I laid there for probably an hour and a half before actually going to sleep. Let me tell you that when my alarm went off in the morning, I was feeling quite bitter, and not at all how I had imagined! Well, I managed. I got up, got in the shower, got Dresden dressed . Got them breakfast, and Oh, I forgot to mention that Gaby has a doctors appointment at 10:45! Why did I do that? Don't ask! So, I am making Dresden lunch for school and I realize that his lunch box is no where to be found! Of course! So, I tell him that I will bring his lunch to school when I find his lunchbox. Well, never did... So, I take Dresden to school and on the way home, Aryana and I stop at Target for a new lunchbox. We come home, I put his lunch in the new box, put it in the fridge, and figure I will leave early for the Doctor, and take Dres his lunch. Well, I sit down for a minute, (okay, it was more than a minute) and read something that says Doctor! O Crap! Gabys appointment, was at 10:45 and it is now 11:00! So, I call and make sure I am good... I throw some clothes on Gaby, toss the girls in the car and as I am haulin' you know what to the Doctors, I remember that I forgot to take Dresden his lunch! Wow! Could things get any worse? Ok, so I call Kyle who is sleeping because he "works the night shift" if you know what I mean! That is no use... So I call Mandy (my sister) and ask her to look up the schools phone number online! I call the school to find out what time he has lunch. 11:50. Okay, it is 11:10 at this point and there is no way that I am going to go in, wait, see the doctor, go home, get the lunch and manage to get it there in 40 minutes! Yeah Right! So, we go inside the Doctors office, and I wish I had known that it was GERIATRIC DAY at the Doctors! HaHa! It was not funny at the time! So we sit there and wait for a few minutes and cannot take it anymore, so I tell the receptionist that I have to reschedule, and again... wait for it..... toss the girls in the car, drive (fly) home, run inside, grab the lunch, and hop back in the car and Aryana goes "That was Fast!" So, I am driving to the school, getting stopped at every light possible, and I finally get to the school at 11:50, park in the front "NO PARKING" zone, and run in the front door, and as I fun throught the front door... you can't guess who was walking past me on his way to the lunch room??? Yep, Dresden was right in front of me!!! I flung his lunchbox at him, and I don't really think he understood how I just appeared in front of him!!! I gave him a kiss and walked out the door, back to the car and sat there and took a deep breath! I think I might have been holding my breath the whole time!?!? I am sorry that I do not have any pictures of this joyous day, but they are all very vivid in my mind!!!
