Some of the countless reasons I can’t stay home

I had to stay at home today with a sick kid. I don’t know how some of you moms do it. It’s 4:30p and I’m still in my pj’s.

So I’m waiting for my B to come home from shook on the bus. He normally doesn’t take the bus, but stays for extended day. I honestly have no idea when school ends. I just know I have to pick him up by 6p.

Apparently the bus is supposed to drop him off around 3:30. So I’m waiting and waiting and waiting. So we call the school (my husband does this because again, I’m useless and have no clue the number to call!!) and they say he’s there.  Now I’m mad cause I have to get dressed. But as they went to confirm he was there, B walks to the front door. Apparently the bus broke down!!
At the same time, two cars pull into the cul-de-sac. A person gets out of each car and they have on suits and some sort of badge. And that knock on my neighbors door. I’m not making up scandalous scenarios about what is happening inside.  (There are the kind of creepy neighbors with the very anti-social children…)

Stalking cars outside my house…

The two investigators were there for about an hour.  I watched the entire time.  Then I cleaned the kitchen.  And then decided I wanted some chocolate chip cookie dough, so I would make cookies!! (see what I did there!)  And in the process, realized that I didn’t have brown sugar.  So then I had to run to the store, which is really a rare thing for me.  The grocery store gives me panic attacks.  But I did…made cookies…ate cookie dough and played Marion Brothers on the wii with my boys tonight.   See, I can be domesticated!
