Today

Rewind to Monday.  I have had little J on my lap for the past 2 hours. She had been experience vomitous eruptous for the last 24 hrs. We are cuddling and watching the very 1st episodes of Hannah Montana--you know the cute ones where everything isn't about boys and dating!!

Anyway, my cell rings for work. Then my home phone rings--I don't answer it. On caller ID I see, it is the kindergarten teacher. I thought, "oh that is nice, she is calling to check on Little J".  Then my home phone rings AGAIN!  It is the teacher AGAIN. So, I answer....it is Big J. Big J says..."um, mom it's Monday, we get out early on Mondays"!!! For the past 2 years we have had early release on Monday.I begin picturing  my "mother of the year" award. It is going to be huge this time!!  Shiny, gold, maybe the statue will have a lady holding a phone to her ear.  Fast forward-- I race to find my shoes, grab Little J, upon grabbing Little J says, "I have to go potty". My foot is tap-tap-tapping, my mouth is trying to keep shut, while my mind is thinking---fabulous, she is peeing, she is not dehydrated!!

I get Little J in the car, buckle up and speed thru my 20 MPH neighborhood going....21 MPH...there are a gazillion kids walking home. Including the safety patrol....which reminds me of just how late I am.  I pull into the kiss-n-ride and there are the 2 cutest blondies waiting for me with smiles on their faces. They aren't even the only ones there!  I gave 20 "sorries" and they said "that's ok mom we knew you were home taking care of their Little J."  I love those Js!!

Fast forward to today. The Js are loaded up for the drive to school. Middle J says "Mom did you set the alarm on your phone to pick us up early today. We have the 2-hr release". I kindly respond, "yes I do, thanks for the reminder". We all snicker and I drop them off @ school, all of us with smiles on our faces.

Fast forward....Running out the door to get the Js!  I am looking fwd to a long weekend!
