Not that I'm complaining about the rain...I just wish it would be slightly cooler and rainy. You know, because nothing says "fall" like temperatures in the 90s with driving, warm rain. Gag. I'm grateful for the rain, and grateful for the fact that baseball practice was nixed. I'm betting the game will be rescheduled, too, since there's no way the fields will dry in time.
My morning consisted of a work meeting, a trip to Target for printer paper, beans, and oatmeal, and a trip to the BRAND NEW Hobby Lobby to get fall paper to print invitations for the 2nd grade "Super Friends Day" party, I ran home to print said invitations. Then, I ran out in the ran to play paper/rock/scissors with another mom to see who would be able to order Chipotle for her child for lunch first. I won because my kid's lunch started 2 minutes before hers. Also, as I waited for my total, I noticed she was purchasing 8 different items, so I'm super grateful that I got to go first.
I rushed to school (Chipotle opens at 11:00, B's lunch is at 11:10), and surprised B with his Chipotle. We got to sit at the "date" table, which kind of disappointed him, because part of the fun of having your parent come eat with you is that the other kids get to sit with you, too. Except, now, they can't. So, we traded lunches since he was at his dad's this week. He got his carnitas tacos, and I got his little stub of a Subway sandwich. It was obviously a really great trade...for one of us.
While he went to (indoor) recess, I went to the library to check out the book fair, and got roped into helping with wish lists on Monday. I don't even mind it...it'll be an interesting experience. I'm helping B's teacher from last year in addition to his class this year. Sigh...I'm such a giver. I headed to B's classroom after that to read to his class for a little while. We read "Oliver Who Would Not Sleep," and "The Stinky Cheese Man." Both are total classics, although several of the kids were confused with the Stinky Cheese Man stories. And, per usual, my kid was obnoxious, which seems to happen when his parents are around, but not nearly as often when they aren't.
Go figure. You'd think it'd be the opposite.
After that, I went home to collapse on the couch. It was necessary. N came home and went outside for a bit (when the rain stopped), then his dad came to pick him for the weekend. I decided to be motivated, for whatever reason, and started cleaning the apartment...until my mop snapped. Literally. It snapped. So, I had to throw on N's shoes (they were the closest) and ran to the store to get a mop.
I saw that "The Green Mile" was on tv, so I tuned in. I haven't seen that movie in forever, so I was excited to watch it again. Y'all. I cried so hard...Michael Clarke Duncan was such a great actor. Another example of a talented actor who was taken entirely too soon. And Tom Hanks? Man...I love when he really gets into his roles. I haven't seen a good Tom Hanks movie lately. Has anyone else? I'm hopeful for the movie where he gets taken hostage by pirates. Captain Phillips? Maybe?
I have one last voucher for the Alamo Drafthouse, so maybe I'll go see it there. Ooooh, I like that idea.
Also...coming up! Catching Fire! Yay!
