Fa La La La La

Tuesday after the boys get home from school there were a flurry of errands that needed to be run, all before 5, when everything closes in our small town. I had to wait for the boys since they needed to sign checks to deposit in savings accounts and 2 of 3 needed glasses adjusted at the eye Dr. Since the "big" boys don't get off the bus until 4:10, that leaves little time to accomplish things. We decided to divide and conquer. Most items needed to be done in one plaza, however we had documents for the adoption to mail off to the Secretary of State, and the post office is across town. Darling Husband drops me and the kids at the eye Dr, then we will walk across to the bank while he goes to the post office and comes back to pick us up, he can fill the grill's propane tank in the plaza so he can gill out for dinner (yeah, honey!). Step one proceeds as planned, however when we went to the bank the lobby closed at 4:30 (it is now 4:45). UHHHH. Call to Hubby, where are you? Is the post office busy or are you close, we have to go through the bank DT. Luckily he's on the way.....boys pile in the car, I hand out hard surfaces to write on and pens and begin throwing things at boys "You sign this, You sing that...." mom collects everything and through the DT we go - good thing I keep deposit tickets at home and those were ready. I had thought this was just a few simple errands during Christmas week - yeah, right.
