Remember the old Army commercials? Where they bragged about doing more before 9 am than most people did all day? I swear, that was me before 11 am today. Here's the breakdown:
745: Arrived at school. Walked Sunshine to her classroom, chatted w/ her teacher for a couple minutes, got to the library, chatted w/ super fabulous Kristine & Mrs. B (equally fabulous because she's from Montreal). Brought teacher wish lists & sign up sheets/schedules to the teachers lounge. Distributed & hung the former & the latter. Stopped by the guidance counselor's office to discuss Book Fair volunteers coming from one of our Partners in Education. Went back to the library, chatted a bit more & declared myself "off" for the rest of the day. Yeah, right.
8:25: As I'm leaving school I remember it's the 6th & the 6th is Pumpkin Spice Latte Day at Starbucks!! I LIVE for this day every year! The best part? I went up another star level & had a free drink coupon! BONUS!
8:35: Arrive home & start watching last night's DVR'd Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It's my free time & I'll do what I want. I start checking email & FB---schedule volunteers for Book Fair & Sara Spano clothing bank. Multiple emails are exchanged between myself, the PTA President & Room Mom Coordinator. I make 3 phone calls---one to get my hair cut (tomorrow-check!), one to get Tinkerbell into the groomer (today--check!) & one for Sunshine to be seen for the wart on her foot that we've been treating at home w/ little success (2 weeks from now--check but boo on time we have to wait). More emails are exchanged. I finish watching the RHOBH. And finish my PSL. So.yum.
10:23: Drop off Tinky, run next door to Target for new denim jacket for Sunshine as well as a Sharpie 10 pack for my Book Fair notebook (aka "THE Notebook") & Treasurer stuff. I make a mad dash to the end of the shopping center to Michael's for a fur jacket for Sunshine's doll. It's a Christmas gift so I get extra points for that.
11:15: Arrive home, add one more Book Fair volunteer, tell Hunter I'd love to have lunch with him, bring in the trash can & mail.
And now, at 12:23 I am off to lunch with my handsome hubby.
It's true---with a Diet Coke (630 am) & a Pumpkin Spice Latte, I can get anything done!
Yes, with a Diet Coke, a PSL, and a pack of Sharpies, we can do it all!
