As you all know, yesterday at Target was a complete disaster (see Duck and Cover). I called in reinforcements for the afternoon because little T.Puzzle’s behavior remained naughty throughout the whole day. Our babysitter came in the afternoon so I could pick up Full Speed from school without having to take little T.Puzzle. Then, Mad Dog and I would go on to have a lovely date night in which we saw the movie ‘Date Night’. In my opinion ladies, Mark Wahlberg steals the show. Check it out.
So, as I make my way to pick up Full Speed, I feel a few minutes of freedom from my T.Puzzle-related anxiety disorder and savor my five minute solitary car ride. When I reach Full Speed’s classroom he is out on the playground. His teacher always chats with me about his day and upcoming classroom events. As she approaches she says, “Oh man, I almost cried today.”
My heart drops. Oh no. Don’t tell me Full Speed had a bad day, too.
“What happened?” I anxiously venture.
“He just looked so grown-up in his cap and gown for graduation pictures I couldn’t take it. He is such a little man.” (Yes, there is a graduation for voluntary pre-kindergarten. I know, it’s a bit much.)
I let out a long breath that I hadn’t realized I had been holding. “Oh, thank God he had a good day,” I say.
If he hadn’t, she wouldn’t have been the only one holding back the tears.
oh so happy that you ended the day with a nice date with Mad Dog. I love it. Glad to hear Date Night was good. I do love MW. Went and saw Hot Tub Time Machine with my honey this weekend 🙂 It was good just like you said. Are you getting any pics from the graduation?? I would love to see it if so 🙂 Have a fabulous day!
