Crazy Thursday!

Well--Laurel called this morning and said she wouldn't be able to go work out! Funny but I was actually thinking "great! I have a morning to get some stuff done and not sweat doing it! (even though I was dressed for the occasion)" Ha-Ha!! I have been wanting to go to the library to check out books instead of buying them, yes--it would definitely save me money to "rent" rather than "buy"! So as I am driving to the library it hit me--Emerie has her final appointment with the ENT for pre-surgery clearance! Oh great! I just missed the exit to take to go pick her up from school--after just recently dropping her off! I called the ENT office to see if it was okay to be a little late--I hate being late!--or if they wanted me to reschedule. They said to just get here when I could get here!

I ran to the school--in my workout clothes mind you--and went to the office to check her out. Her class wasn't in her classroom so they checked in the MPR because that is where most of the Kindergarten classes were because they were practicing for their program. The aide came out of the MPR and said her class wasn't in there and went looking for them. After about another 10 minutes of searching she realized that Emerie's class WAS in the MPR and finally tracked her down for me and we left! How frustrating! I don't think I would actually have been that late had they found her the first time!

We get to the ENT office and I am getting Payton out of the car and realized she didn't even have any shoes! I guess when Maddie buckled her in the car this morning before leaving for school she didn't have any shoes on. Normally that is okay but she also didn't even have her hair done either!! What a group of wackos we looked like! We then sat at the office for about 40 minutes in the waiting room (Emerie was so out of control I was going to lose it!) We got called back and then the Doctor says, "Do you have any questions?" I didn't so he says, "Great! We'll see you on the 13th of June. Remember not to feed her one thing after midnight the 12th! They will call you on the 12th to let you know the time of the surgery!" I said, "That's it?" I think I offended him because he said, "Did you want me to do more?" I'm thinking, "YES! I just spent the last hour waiting to be told 'See you in 3 weeks." He didn't even look in her throat or anything! Couldn't they have just told me that over the phone!!?? Very frustrating!

We then went to the library--because it was pretty much on the way home--and I guess I haven't taken the kids to the library too much because Emerie definitely didn't know how to act! I had even coached her before walking in about how to act and that it was a place to be quiet and whisper! She egged Payton on once playing hide-and-seek around the pole that Payton shrieked in delight! The security guard actually came over and told me to keep my children quiet! We quickly picked out a couple books and a movie for Emerie and then I went looking for books for me! I actually found a few to check out--love that Nora Roberts!! And I even found a few to buy! They were only 50 cents each for nice hard bound books that aren't new releases anymore! Anyway--I am going to try to take the kids to the library more often!

We also had piano today because their teacher switched it from Wednesday because of a conflict. It was nice to just sit and let the little ones play at the park while the two older ones had their lessons.
