HURRY!

Had a plan yesterday. A plan to make the day's events fit into as few sequential pieces as possible. 9am gotta get to work. Had to grab the phone at 8:50 just as I was about to walk out the door. It's my friend and she wants to chat. Ok. 9:10 leave for work. Arrive at work 9:17.
Got a bunch of things to get ready for this weekend. The copier/printer is down. Ok. Make revisions to the pieces and save them for tomorrow. One o'clock meeting. Arrive 12:50. Whew!
Meeting done at 2:50. Children are waiting at church for me to take them and register for school. Hannah forgot her lock. Back home to retrive that. Registration ends at 4:30 HURRY! Get to Hannah's school and Eli does not want to go in and wait in line. Ok. Wait in the car then, no problem. Hannah's registration goes as smoothly as possible--the way they have it set up is very efficient. Out to the car. Grab the keys from Eli and stick them in the ignition. Death rattle of solenoid. I neglected to instruct Eli not to turn the key on to listen to the radio because my battery is on its last legs. Call Brandy to get a jump. Brandy arrives in five minutes (thanks girl!). Car starts on the first try, and we're off to the middle school. Go in the wrong door and have to search for the registration stations. Keep in mind, the car has to run the whole time we are in the school, to charge the battery, so Hannah has to stay in the car. Get to station 3--pictures. They had a camera malfunction at Houlton and had to send one of their cameras there and are running on one instead of two. The line is reeeeallllly long. Car's still running. Told Eli to stay in line while I finished the rest of the stations. Had to write a check at three of them. What? Can't they make this easier? Good grief. Wait in line after completing stations. Wait. I wonder how much gas I have in the car. Wait. Done. Out to the car--yep still running--and off to the homestead. Whew! Whatta day!

I love hurrying up to wait. It's my favorite.
