Loser Thursday

**Ok, so I COMPLETELY & UTTERLY forgot about Holes. We were supposed to be in Orlando for the Rep play and I forgot!

*I am 3 days behind in reading and have Art,Writing Club, and swim team this afternoon before I can try and read 45 chapters to Maddy.

* Our A/C unit died on Tuesday night (the downstairs unit). It was the motor and we went 2 days with no air in the mid 90's. I know there are some who will not sympathize with me... but, I just told the kids in honor of Cinco de Mayo we were living like the mexicans during that time... They were not impressed. So, while the new motor was being installed my upstairs unit dies and needs a new motor. Needless to say the kids are sleeping in the living room at night for a while...

* I went to publix last night and felt like a criminal walking out. My bill was 140.00 and after coupons it reduced it to 49.72. I had 6 boxes of Capri suns for free. 6 boxes of Eggos for .25 a box, 4 -5lb bags of apples for a 1.50 a bag. .49 sour cream, .19 mahatma rice, and the list goes on and on. I had a FULL cart of groceries. I kept expecting to have a siren or the manager come over and take me away. You should feel sorry for the people behind me in line. It took her 10 minutes to ring up my coupons. In the parking lot I kept thinking, load up your groceries before the manager comes out for my grocery booty. Arrrgh- matey!

* Ethan will be going to preschool in the fall. He loved it, and Ms Shawnie has another peanut allergy child that will be attending. I don't know why that makes me feel better, but it does. I will pick him up before lunch daily. Oh, my baby!!!!!!!!!!

* Ok, I am off to take a shower the a/c is cranked and I am cooool today....

When it rains it pours. So sorry that your air was out. I know it can be hard to take. Hang in there and things will be better. As for our baby going to school, it sure make me feel old. Tell everyone hello and Happy Mother's Day!
