Today has been one of those days where all the little things that should take like 5 minutes took 20 or more. Examples:
Post office to mail two international packages. Usually takes 5 to 10 minutes and most days I walk right up to the counter. Today I gave up after the line didn't move for 10 minutes (with 5 people in front of me) while watching a postal worker smooth bubbles out of the tape on a package the entire time. (Usually I love this particular post office, there must have been something in the water.) Sorry Germany and UK, I'll try again Monday.
CVS to buy wrapping paper for one of the many birthday gifts for this weekend. (We were out of "boy".) One register open and there was a little old lady haggling over the price of a less than $5 purchase which then required a manager. ARGH! Another 2 minute task that took ten times longer.
Parking at the soccer field. This is normally a hairy process anyway but it took me half an hour to drive the eighth of a mile through the lot. Of course the girls' game was at the back fields.
In the end the girls won their soccer game and everyone played a few frames at the bowling birthday party (the actual kids invited to the party abandoned the lanes in favor of the game room so the host mom practically put bowling shoes on my kids to play). Oh and we bought Zach a new pair of sneakers (which thankfully went smoothly and quick because Zach is not indecisive and whiny like his twin sisters when shopping for shoes) since his current pair look like a dog ate them. And we don't have a dog.
And now I am tired.
What do you mean I have one more day of the weekend to go through?!?!?
