Remember that time you guys drove 45 minutes to the city without your wallet? Oh wait, that was actually me. Today. With a whole errand day planned.
Ok, so it wasn’t actually planned at all. I decided we had a few errands we could run, and I wanted to help Jerilee set up her classroom because SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!!! So I drove to the city, parked at Costco, grabbed a cart, and as I walked, I rooted in my purse for my Costco card, which I keep in my wallet, which I apparently kept at home.
I went back to my van and cried and sulked a bit. I called Brady and we couldn’t come up with anything. I finally called my mom and told her my tale of woes. She was immediately willing to help, and I drove to her for a quick visit. We spotted me some cash (which I will be paying back in full on Thursday when I see her!) and we looked at some of the pictures from our recent family gathering. Such fabulous memories 😀
Eventually, I had to keep moving, so I left and hit up a few places and ran a few errands. Be warned, parents. Don’t walk through the Superstore clothing section. Everything is cute. I repeat. EVERYTHING is cute. I walked out having bought only one article of clothing per child, and that was SERIOUS restraint!
I met Jerilee at her classroom around 5:15 ish, I think, and we got to work!! We cut out a bunch of letters and decorated each wall of her room with beautiful handmade things. Her room has so much life and color to it, and TONS of thought has been put into each detail. I loved being part of the assembly of it, with Jerilee and her mom. I definitely felt welcome and loved, which I needed after such a rough start to my afternoon.
Now, I’ve come home to Brady cooking me some supper, and a bubble bath. I have such fabulous people in my life.
