It was just one of those days...

Did everyone love the snow flurries as much as we did last night?!?! Addison and I had so much fun driving home from church last night and watching the snow as it looked like it was coming right in through the windshield! We drove around the block an extra time and Addi tried to take pictures with her phone of the huge snowflakes--it was so pretty! Too bad it didn't stick but school was delayed 2 hours today. Before going to bed we had our transportation all figured out for today--Joey would take me to work when he got off work this morning and Addi would have the Jeep to drive to school at 10:00 since she gets out today and tomorrow at 1:45. Then she'd pick me up from work about 4:30. Yep, I thought I had a real plan and all was good. I got up, did some laundry, got ready for work, kissed Sleeping Beauty good-bye (she was so thrilled to get to sleep past 5:30!) and enjoyed my sweetheart's company on the way to work. (even though he was so tired after working 12 hours) It was a very wet and cold morning, wasn't it? Well, I get to work pretty early, get some things accomplished early, and at about 9:45 my phone rings and Addison says, "Mom, where did you leave the Jeep keys?" Then...dead silence...I look in the top of my purse..."right here, Addi." Oh, man! Joey is already at his house snoozing by this time, Becky is at a conference in Spartanburg so she's not at the hospital, Mom is not at home, and I was just lost as what to do. I'm at work - now stranded - and Addison's at home with no key and the Jeep in the yard. I just had to laugh. Only I can do such dumb things lately it seems. Luckily Addison's friend, Kristen wasn't at school yet so she picked her up and brought her home. I sorta had a back up plan for a ride home and I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell Joey what I'd done. He'd been so good to pick me up and take me to work this morning so Addison could have the car - I felt so ridiculous to tell him what I'd done. Well, he called me at about 3:45 when he woke up and first thing he said was, "Honey, what time are you leaving today - I want to see you before I go to work." I told him whatever time Kevin (a friend who works at the hospital in Plant Operations) leaves and then I told him what I'd done. Then he told me he wanted to pick me up anyway and talk to me before he went to work this evening. A little later another call and he said, "Ready? Your chariot awaits you." Out my office window there it was -- that warm gray Dodge with my sweetheart standing outside on the passenger side and helped me into the truck." And to think I didn't want to tell him I'd been so dumb -- wow, if I hadn't been dumb I would have missed this opportunity. He is so sweet to me! And even loves me when I'm dumb -- which seems to be pretty regular lately it seems!

I'd decided earlier in the day not to go to line dance lessons with Martha since it was so cold outside. But after getting home I caught up with Addison about her day and her new classes then tried to make some plans to do something. Well, it really didn't turn out like I'd hoped it would, but once again it worked out just right. A little later Mama and Daddy invited us to Lugoff House of Pizza and it gave us the chance for some time to just talk and enjoy being with them. (and dinner was really good!) Addison and I also got a birthday present for Jack for his upcoming birthday on Monday.

You know, sometimes I think we all have "one of those days" to put a little aggravation into our schedules so we can have a learn to add a little humor to our lives. Without the grumbling we wouldn't appreciate the laughter. One final note - Addison and I have another date this weekend - TO LOWE'S TO MAKE SOME SPARE KEYS!!

Hope everyone had a great week and thank goodness tomorrow's FRIDAY! We're going to THE CIRCUS!!!
