This is a phone call between my brother and I. Watch how quickly we turn into 10-yr-olds

Last night, I realized I was without child care for LilZ for today. I asked my neighbor, but she was going to her dad’s. So, I called LilZ’s NaNa (my ex mother-in-law) and asked if she could watch him. She was fine with that, but she lives 80 miles away. Since she was doing me a favor, I offered to meet her closer to her town. The drive would be about an hour for me and twenty minutes for her. We were to meet at 6am.

So - MrZ got up at 4:15 or so this morning, same as every day. And I lay there in bed, trying to decide if I should get up and do housework, or sleep thirty extra minutes, like I do everyday.

About 4:40, I’m still weighing my options, when it hit me.

Shit!

I have to be on the road in TWENTY minutes to get LilZ to his Nana.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

I run into the closet, throw on some slacks and shirt, and yell at LilZ to - Get up! Get up!

So here we are. 120 miles later, I’m finally at work. My hair is nasty, my face has TWO layers of make-up on it, and I forgot to grab a belt. Also, just in case you wanted to come give me a hug? Don’t. In my haste I forgot my deoderant, so I smell about as good as I look. So, I’m just going to call today Monday and savor the misery. Are ya with me?

Co-worker: (standing outside my office) Is the internet still down?
Me: Yup.
Co-worker: So, what are you doing?
Me: Cleaning up the mess I made when I tipped over my coffee creamer.
Co-worker: Damn girl. You spill something everyday, don’t you?
Me: Yep. I do. No matter what else crashes in this office, my clumsiness will always be up and running. I’ve accepted that and actually find peace in it.
Co-worker: As do I.

Um, Hi. Before we get started, a note from our Sponsors.

Please disregard the bitchy tone in yesterdays post. If you remember from your Health Classes in elementary school - emotions can run amok during “A Woman’s Time of Month”. I am well aware that our situation is nowhere near as dire as some, so not being pregnant this month? Nothing to freak out over.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

LilZoot got his teacher assignment on Friday. He didnt get the teacher he hoped for. The disappointment was only compounded by the fact that Tee, his best friend, DID. Also - unlike the other teachers - his teacher did NOT send a class list showing who was going to be in his class. So - he couldnt even find comfort in knowing he’d have friends in his class.

Well - I just came home from work, and my son , the PLAYER, had some good news. His crush, Blondie, was in his class!

How did he know? Did he call her?

No! That would be embarassing!

Did she call him?

No! That would be embarassing for HER!

He asked Tee’s sister, LaLa to call and ask ON BEHALF OF TEE. HA! So he knows she’s in his class, but its TEE who asked, not him. And Tee won’t care because Tee doesnt have a crush on her. LilZ does.

I was so impressed.
