What Plans??

Sorry I have not checked in to entertain everyone. I am going to tell you all about daddy's thing in Louisville but firstly, I have a funny story.

Last Wednesday morning we had a plan. I am a planning person. I am also almost always in control, of me and everyone else in my house aside from Nathan from 6am to 7pm. We had plans to see the kids off to school finish last minute packing and head out the door by 9:30am. At the latest, we would be in Louisville including time change at 2PM.

So we get up, I feed the kids breakfast. John comes back into the kitchen, and promptly states that he just puked. Well, does your tummy hurt? do you feel bad? All honest no's. Then he starts to wimp out. I feed him a pepto, and lo and behold he pukes that up. So next up, Phenerghan (sp) the big guns are out. I call Nathan's mom and tell her that John is sick and is going to need to spend the day on her couch. She is Ok with that and we plan on dropping John off on the way out of town. Ethan is at school with an e mail to his teacher to look out for this ominous stomach bug. I tell John to settle in on the couch noting to aim for the bucket on the floor should we have another event and I start to the shower. Once in the shower this child comes bounding in the bathroom asking for something to eat. Ask your dad to make you some dry toast. No, I do not want toast. I want a Marshmellow treat. Eyes are clear and attitude is great and I say OK eat a rice krispy treat. Nathan then comes in the door of the bathroom, remember I am still in the shower! Why are you letting him eat that. Well if he can hold that down he can go to school. Nathan looks at me like I am crazy. Then once I have exited the shower Nathan comes in to the bathroom and states, John is going to school.

WHY-I ask~would he go from questioning me about the rice krispy treat to taking the kid to school? Well he was taking his mini rubix cube and playing basketball with it in his Puke Bucket.

Yep, bad pizza the night before, a nervous stomach, and one free trip to school!

We were in Louisville on time!
