Confessions {5.19.2016}

Happy Thursday!  Wow, what a busy week.  Jacob graduated from pre-k yesterday and we’re now in full summer mode.  And full teary-eyed emotional mess mode.  I still can’t believe that he’s starting Kindergarten in the fall.  Where does the time go?

I confess…

... that yesterday I arrived an entire hour early to Jacob's pre-k graduation because I wanted the best seats possible.  I did get them.  I was actually the very first one there - literally, like I even beat the teachers and those setting up - but man, I felt like one of those parents...

… that I have not wanted to be at work these last two weeks.  I mean, I rarely want to be at work, but this week I really haven’t wanted to be there.  I don’t know if it’s spring fever or what, but I am just so restless and I just feel like I have a million other things that I would rather be/should be doing instead.

… that I’m still in the process of cleaning out of my office and it’s ugly.  U-G-L-Y, y’all.  It looks like a tornado hit it and it’s driving me insane.  I wish that I could take off a week straight just to finish cleaning out and organizing the whole house. 

… that I judged the parents of one of the kids in Olivia's class this past week.  We received an invitation to a birthday party for the kid last Friday and the party was that Sunday.  As in – two days later.  And on a Sunday night.  Wha?  That kid’s parents obviously either don’t have their ish together or they didn’t want anybody to come.  Spoiler alert – we didn’t.

… that The Bachelorette is back in just a few short days and I don’t think I’ve been so excited for a show since… The Bachelor came on back in January.  #Sad  #GuiltyPleasure

… that my vehicle has a recall on one of the parts, and the dealership is paying for me to have a rental car until they can repair it.  I was adamant about not wanting a sedan since we have to have two giant car seats and all the stuff that goes along with having two kids, so I asked them to be sure to put us in an SUV.  Well, I went to pick up the rental last week and they had put me in an SUV alright… they had put me in one of the biggest SUVs on the market… a Toyota Sequoia.  Now, just in case you’ve never seen one or don’t remember off hand what they look like, I’ll describe it for you. 

It.  Is.  A.  Tank. 

I feel like I’m driving a bus.  Literally.  I pulled up next to a dump truck the other day and I was sitting almost has high as the driver of the dump truck.  I mean!  When I first got behind the wheel I was terrified and I was so thankful that I didn’t have any kids in the car with me for my inaugural drive, ya know, just in case, but after a week and a half in it, I feel like I’ve mastered it.  And I am loving it!  I definitely don’t want anything this big in the future, but it is spoiling me a bit as my current SUV is much smaller and much more basic.  I’m gonna need Bluetooth and a back-up camera ASAP.

See y’all back here tomorrow for a Friday post!
