Well, did the impossible today....sent both boys to school without their ADHD medicine...Now, it wasn't exactly my choice...I just forgot to pick up their prescriptions, but before I go there...I first want to explain my busy schedule the last few days...
OK, exciting NEWS... I am a PROUD OWNER of a CAMPER!! Wha HOOOOO! This has taken a lot of space inside my brain..like I can't think of anything else but CAMPING!!!! So, lets start with Sunday..( after my lung's had to replaced back inside my body because I can't stop coughing) the whole eggs and ketchup thing ( see previous post).. well, then CAMPER OWNERSHIP happened. Ok, now Monday, we had a " see ya later" party for a co-worker and friend at work. After work, I had to rush to the Dr's office, then to the pharmacy.. then I had to rush home, collect the boys, and rush back to work for the party. Was there about 45 minutes before Keaton caused a scene in the lobby and then quickly headed home. FORGOT, yep.. the medicine. Now, had I remembered, Walgreen's is open 24 hrs in this here town...but NOOOO I certainly didn't remember. I had bathes, homework X 2 and dinner...and bathe a flea infested cat ( which was DRAMA in itself!!!). So, medicine, I just wasn't thinking.
Come this morning as I head to the med cabinet, I had a very ILL memory.. What am I going to do?? I have a full day of meetings in another town of which starts at 9:00. It takes me all of 45 minutes to get there, so I have NO TIME to run to Walgreens...YIKES!! Well, not my problem...someone else's.. I know terrible terrible thought..I admit..but what could I do??
Soo, no medication and a quick drop off at the school was my plan. However when I got in the car, all H E ( double hockey sticks) took over. I mean, fire, whirlwinds of fire, came from the back seat and WHAM, I hit the accelerator so that I could get them to school before the battle hit. Too late, basically had to threaten no trick or treating for the rest of their childhood and get them out of the car so that I could get out of line up. " This can't be good" was the thought as I pulled away..only to see Keaton give me the Tongue... and back into a empty parking space I go..OH YES, buddy boy...you are not done with me yet!! So, handled that then drove away thinking...YIKES, they are going to have a VERY BAD DAY!!!! What do I do, I will be out of town... do I miss my meeting's and go to Walgreens?? NOPE! Dear teachers...We know that Keaton is very special and because he is soo special, we want to share that specialness with you.. and here he is as without med's kinda like how I get him in the afternoons after it's all worn off...good luck with that!
So, I decided at that point to " turn off my ringer and ignore" so that I wouldn't have to take any unnecessary phone calls.. you know, I'm workin here! So at 2:40, I checked my messages and there were SEVERAL from the school...I decided to DELETE ALL MESSAGES and not even bother to listen... I am such a WONDERFUL parent, I should get PARENT OF THE YEAR AWARD, dontcha think?? Well, anyway, there it is folks! It really didn't end there, I had to put up with EXTREME HYPERNESS when I got home and then get them ready for Trunk or Treating at the church. Yeah, lets get some sugar in them tonight..go out with a BANG!! Right now they are locked in the closet...oops, I told on myself no, they are in their rooms, bathed, sweet and cute in their nighty's with visons of sugar plumbs dancing in their heads...yeah, right!
Oh, there is medication in the cabinet for tommorrow, I didn't forget!!!

Wow.......I have so many words for you but......I have no words. You are too funny. But seriously, you should stop making this stuff up. Someone will actually believe this is really happening to you.
Kristi,
There is never a dull moment with you. I would love to be a little fly on the wall at your house sometime. All I can say, your blessed with patience.
