Have You Ever?
Have you ever:
-- had a son tell you he needed new church shoes because they were too tight then act like you were torturing him when you suggested a shoe shopping trip?
--realized you were double booked, no triple booked for tomorrow?
--agreed to a project which uselessness is only eclipsed by how time consuming it will be?
--had your schedule interrupted so many times that it's beyond recognition?
--have children that still need to be fed and want clean laundry even when you're so busy you can't think straight?
--whined (excessively) to both of your sisters? (sorry girls)
--directed all your frustration at your son even when he's only responsible for about 10% of it? (sorry Braeden)
--wandered aimlessly around Target looking for an obligatory gift for someone you hardly know? Trying to strike that delicate balance between, "I don't want to spend too much money and I don't want to show up with a cheap gift"?
--been cut off in line at Target by a bustling lady with about 20-30 bottles of Suave shampoo (I am not kidding) in her cart ? She looked at me, startled when she realized she'd cut me off and I sweetly said, "That's OK, go ahead," because I firmly believe that even though I don't feel at all charitable on the inside I can at least (occasionally) pretend to be kind on the outside.
--bought a package of fun sized Snickers bars?
I so deserved it.
So how's your day been?

I have had days like that...I'm just glad you still wrote a post on your blog! Yesterday I got the Western Horseman in the mail and opened to find a nice article about your dad! They also quote you in the article...it's very nice to be related to all you famous people!
Some days are like that, even in Austrailia. :)
I hope today is better!
