This morning I turned the car on early because it was 31 degrees outside. I went back inside to wake up Mason and get him ready for the day. It was going to be a big day at work with a field trip. I still needed to organize my class into groups for the chaperons. Mason and I bundled up and walked out to the car only to realize that Mason's car seat was unfortunately in Andy's car...which was in Manassas...about 45 minutes away. The panic slowly started to creep in. "How am I going to get to work in time before the buses leave for our field trip?" "What am I suppose to do?!" I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"
So I called Andy and there was no creep to the panic in his voice. It was immediate. "I just got to school! I've been out for two days and need to get things taken care of! I don't know what to do! #%@!"
Because I am usually a calm and logical person, the answer came with a lovely, serene feeling. I would take a personal day. YAY! It ended up being a gorgeous day and Mason and I have had a grand time playing outside. Here is some footage from our day.
My comment to the first 2 videos, after I finished laughing of course, was "Man, boys and girls are sooo different!" Not that I'm just now realizing that or anything!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! Yay for calm and logical personal days! We miss you guys!
This looks much more fun than being stuck underground with a bunch of fifth graders. I kid I kid, the fieldtrip was fantastic of course!:)
