I went into work Yesterday...Late, not because I wished too.
Only because I could hear the stress in Dawns voice, and I wouldnt want to be the cause of a new freckle popping out on her face because of it.
SO I picked up Emma from school, shuffled home in my red slippers and slipped on a bra and some shoes.
I walked through the doors to work at 3:30 and walked back to my boss. It is crazy at work on Tuesdays and she was going from classroom to classroom taking counts.
"Beanie BOP!"
"Hi." I croaked. "Where do you want me?"
"Your room." she walked with me to the door. "You know you didnt have to come in...but THANK YOU."
I smiled and walked through the door.
All of my kids were sitting down nicely at the tables waiting for snack.
"Beeeeeanie!" They screamed.
Its so nice to be a rockstar at work, im just saying.
I bent down for hugs and picked up Mickey when he threw him self at my legs.
"Ahhhhhhhhh Mickey." And I snuggled him into my chest and kissed his neck.
"Beanie...I wake uuuup. Beanie Hold youuu..." he murmered while staring at my face.
His mom has mentioned that Mickey is obsessed with me and I kinda agree.
I kinda love it.
"Sit down! Sit down for snack!"
And i proceeded through the day.
Later I marched my tiny troops out to preschool. It is a crazy time of the day, where children are going home, parents get talked too and we all make sure that foofy doesnt escape.
Every Tuesday I watch a friends children, so that she can go to school. There is Three. They are good kids, and I do not mind.
She came to get my keys to transfer carseats.
"Beanie..." She waddled up to me.
"What?" I looked at her ever expanding belly and smiled...or tried too.
Her face looked worried. "You have a flat tire."
My shoulders slumped. "Whaaaat?"
"Your tire is flat." She stared at me.
"What do I doooo?" I whine....but just a little.
"I don't knooow." She kinda whines back
"I...." I look around...Im looking for a penis. there has GOT to be one somewhere.
"Amanda looks around as well."
I whisper "This is what a penis if for Amanda. Do you know any?"
"Nooo." she says
I will admit that I felt my eyes sting. What else? Really. A flat tire is a small thing, unless you throw it on the huge pile of ever expanding crap that has been happening to me.
"I had a flat tire once....and I called AAA."
"Call them."
"I dont have it anylonger."
"Ill talk to Carrie."
So she did and Carrie piled all of the kids into her Truck and took them to her house to make dinner.
She called her husband and while I searched through my van pulling out odd objects and holding them up saying "This thingy?"
No. He shakes his head. "Its a part that FITS into the jack."
I shrug and keep looking through my van.
"This thingy?" I walk around the back and hold a wierd object up by my fingertips.
He smiles. "AHA!"
So he takes it and I stare as he does wierd voodoo man things to my tire.
I am riding to school in the bus today. I feel kinda special...im just sayin.
