Well today was a pretty busy day for us for a Monday. Normally I like to sit around in the morning and sip coffee and watch the news. You know, catch up on all of the craziness that went on over the weekend like huge balloons floating over cities with millions of people worrying about the safety of a little boy that may or may not be inside or have fallen from the balloon. How crazy was that?
Anyways, this morning I did manage to get a cup of coffee in, but I did not get to sit around and relax. Once I had finished my first cup of coffee I had to get everyone ready and head out the door. We had to run the check for our vehicle to the bank (which was about a half hour away.) We decided to try to find a few car lots while we were out as well. The only problem was that we were in a town that we are not real familiar with. So after driving around for a couple of hours (we did find a few car lots, but nothing we were interested in) we arrived home. All of the kids had fallen asleep after about the 3 wrong turn! But before they all fell asleep my 4 year old sees an older looking lady with with long gray hair. She is wearing black pants and a black top. He is so funny because as soon as he saw her he yells “Mommy, Mommy a witch!” I’m like a witch? where? He says “Over there Mommy” and points at the lady! Kids! I guess if you really think about it she had long gray hair and was wearing all black, however she did not have a pointy hat on. He said she probably just left it in her car. When I asked why she was getting into a car he said that it was probably too windy for her broom! Ha ha! The things they come up with!
One more thing before I go on about my day of cooking, cleaning and homework…
