Ok, so I really have a lot that I need to be doing right now but writing was always good therapy for me and to share my crazy day will really help me feel better, I think. Wednesdays are library days. We go to storytime, hit Sonic for Wacky Wednesday (Wacky Packs are half price), and then take it to the park. I really look forward to Wednesdays and so do the kids. Well, we all got dressed and headed out, opened the door to discover that it was cold! Yesterday was 89 degrees. We were sad cause that meant no park. We were all in shorts and sandals and I wasn't about to go back inside and change everyone. Got to the library, got the double stroller, got the 2 little ones in the stroller and the 2 big ones holding onto the stroller, locked the door, closed the door, and then I realized...ah!!! My bag is still sitting in the passenger seat...with my keys...and my phone...and my library card...and snacks...and diapers and wipes...I have 4 kids and I'm stuck at the library by myself! Inside I'm freaking out but on the outside I'm calm and collected...smiling at everyone. The librarian directed me to the public phone in the lobby and while I'm trying to remember my Uncle Sam's number (who's a locksmith, lucky me!), my old high school friend who I haven't seen in years walks up. Lovely. I'm so frazzled and I'm dying to catch up, embarrassed about my situation. She finds me a smart phone and totally helps me out. Thank you Angel Kentopp! You really were an angel today! Well, My uncle said he would be there in 20 minutes. Oh, good. By the time we're out of storytime he'll be here. During storytime Bennett started to get antsy. I looked all in the stroller for something that entertain him for 10 minutes. I found a girl scout cookie in the zipper pouch that somebody had stuck in there a couple of days ago...and they only took a tiny bite! Yes, of course I gave it to him. And I didn't feel bad at all. I believe it was our manna from heaven. Well, remember how my uncle was supposed to be there when we got out of storytime? Wrong-O. He had to take my grandma to the eye doctor and was there with her while we sat in the lobby and greeted everyone that walked in the door. Lots of songs, games, bathroom and water breaks later, he comes to our rescue! The great news is that I didn't have to pay a dime...cause I'm family and all. But the bad news is when we finally got the kids in the car, I looked down in my seat and there was chocolate smeared all in the seat. Yeah, I had chocolate on my bobo. Everyone that saw me today had to think, "Poor girl, not only does she have 4 little children hanging out in the library lobby but she doesn't know that there's chocolate on her hiney."

Wacky Wednesday

or at least you hope they thought it was chocolate. ;) at least you had all the kids out of the car...i locked corban in the car once, he was strapped in his carseat and we just waited until family could get there with the spare key.
Hilarious! And you handled yourself splendidly! And, uh, is Reagan licking a stick in that pic? HA! So cute and funny, I love it. I've locked my keys in different vehicles over the years, but two of those times were the worst: the engine was running and my phone was inside.... XOX Poppy Dude PS: Funny comment by BAC&C!
