Last night there was a storm, and being prepared for everything like I try to be, I set my phone alarm in case the electricity knocked out the alarm clocks. Kristin normally gets up between 5 and 5:30, so I set my alarm for 7 as a backup.
The electricity never went out, but Kristin forgot to set her alarm. I woke us both up at 6:59 and in a mad rush, Kristin got ready while I woke Leslie and got her going. Shockingly, Leslie snapped to pretty quickly- normally, she's the non-morning person. By 7:35, they were headed out the door and Kenna was getting ready for Mother's Day Out.
I had plans to come home from dropping Kenna off to work out and clean house a bit since my mom was coming into town for an event she had to go to tomorrow. But at 8:30, as we were about to leave, I was called for an all-day sub position doing 7th and 8th grade Health and Coach. I quickly dressed up a bit, and off we went.
The day wasn't bad, for me, but the kids were rowdy. Turns out, the same class period I was having a tough time, Kristin was dealing with a fight in her class. I called her at the time I knew her lunch/conference to be, and it was apparently just in time for her to vent. She was worn out, and it was all over her voice.
Once again, the coaches snubbed me. This time it actually happened, they didn't say a word that I didn't initiate, and left before I could check roll. In fairness, they later apologized and made it better during the second Athletics time.
I was able to leave early, and since a downpour had ensued, I thought I'd try to catch my mom before she and Kenna had to get out in the rain to pick-up Leslie. So, I had no umbrella, and I ran from the building to the car- about 50 yards. I was soaked. Fortunately there was an umbrella in the car, so when I did catch my mom and Kenna, I could stop the rain coming from the sky.
But not the stuff on the ground.
I got more soaked on the way to the school form my car, and had to carry Leslie over the puddles in the road. (She's so small, she'd wash away. :) )
Finally, we made it home, and I could dry out. Now, here is hoping to a less rushed evening.
