Thursday was not a good day. Anything that could go wrong did.
School mornings are hectic! I have the get the kids up, feed them breakfast, get them dressed, pack their lunches, make their drinks, put their names on their diapers, put socks and shoes on, braces and glasses, and give vitamins. All this has to be done and they have to be at school by 9:30 so your pretty much running non stop form the moment you wake up at 7 until drop off. On top of the normal, I had to run to the bank before the kids went to school to get cash to pay their tuition. It was also FREEZING outside but off we went to the bank. I get the cash but can't find my driver's license. I rip the car apart in the drive thru line at the bank and still find nothing. I swear the bank teller didn't give it back but of course he swears he did. I finally leave telling him to please call me should he find it. Get to the school, drop the kids off, open my wallet, hand the assistant the cash. I go home call the bank and they automatically tell me they don't have it. I told them to please check again and I'll wait on the line. Guess what??? The teller had my driver's license! So off Ricky and I go to get my driver's license. Ricky wanted to go off on the guy because he was doing his homework and had papers laid everywhere when he should have been worried about my bank transaction and getting my DL back to me. Anyway, we get back home and I get a phone call from the school that I shorted the tuition by $100. I told the school there was no way I literally left the bank and went to the school and I just cashed a check for the exact amount of the tuition. I told her I'd call the bank to have them count the teller's cash and call her back. By this time we are FREAKING OUT because paying an extra $100 would kill our budget. I get on the phone with the branch manager and tell her everything that has happened and that I really need her to count the teller's money because $100 is missing. 10 minutes later she calls back and guess what??? The teller short changed me by $100! The thing is I looked at my money but was so distracted because I couldn't find my DL. I can't believe this! Ricky flipped a switch on the branch manager and he went to get the $100. They sent him back with the money and a free bag for the car LOL! What a morning!
My great grandmother also passed away this morning. I don't have any details about it but I think it's really for the best. My aunt and uncle have worked tirelessly taking care of her for so many years and to have a disease that strips away your memory is horrible. To me in ranks second to cancer on some of the worse things that can happen. We would really like to attend her funeral but not sure if we will be able to make it. It would be nice to see some family members I probably won't see again. I have two aunts I'd like to see and have them meet my kids and a cousin would like to meet the kids and see us as well.
Now that my kids love everything Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Disney, I'd love nothing more than to take them to Disney and that brings back memories of the time I went to Disney. My great grandmother took my mother, brother, and I. When I think about Disney, I think about her. When I was younger, she signed me up for some little club where I would get Disney books. I have a lot of them and I'm so happy that my kids are now enjoying those same books. Memories are so important!
