Took Matthew, Ingrid, and Evan to Ft. Wayne today to visit with friends and for Matthew to participate in a book talk. I think I only managed to do or say three stupid things so that is not too bad but I can sort of laugh about it. I will have to send this to the poor souls who had to endure my foot in my mouth. The first thing was that I did not recognize Lora. My brain seems rather foggy as of late but it has been a few years since we last saw each other. ARgh. Sorry Lora. Then I said something stupid about people being 25 and still home..........I meant I hoped said child of mine figured out SOMETHING to do with their life by age 25. Poor Bethany must have found me a little ditzy. There was one other one........I will just forget that......
Needless to say, the day was nice, getting away is sort of nice but it leaves me pretty worn out, people at home seem rather confused when I am not home. I was very glad to get home safely. Snow was pretty blinding on the way home. I stayed at the Scout meeting for time and safety reasons. The Scoutmaster's cat sent me into allergic attack. Yikes. I clearly am not around cats very often as I didn't think it would be that big a deal. One hour shouldn't be that big a deal. No cats!!!
Now I am home and watching another 24 with Charley.
Confusion does reign when I am not home so I should remember to stay there!!!!
They all know that when you have 9 kids you get stupid. I mean... *halo*
ReplyDeleteIt didn't even cross Bethany's mind to take it that way. ;)
ReplyDeletePhew! But how do YOU know????
ReplyDeleteYes Anna.......
My mother is right-- I never even considered that what you said might apply to me. So please don't worry about it. :o)
ReplyDeleteNot worried. Just constantly amused at my mouth blabbering.
ReplyDeleteYes, now we must know what else you said! And mom, counting violins does not put me to sleep.
ReplyDeleteCount bass drums then marching slowly down a road in Africa with elephants leading the way. That will work.
ReplyDeleteI'm not telling.
