Do you remember that book? I do! Alexander really did have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Older siblings and kissing on TV can do that to a little boy, I suppose. Poor kid. I just so happened to have one of those days this week. Not older sibling problems or kissing on TV problems - REAL problems.
It started like any normal day...I was woken up before I really preferred to get up. I walked to the kitchen trying to shake off my morning stupor. Then I fixed the kids some breakfast, nagged them till they ate it then argued over outfits before I was able to get them dressed. Bur that's when the normalcy stopped...
I took the kids to school and left them there...so I was alone in the car...then I got home and donned my swimsuit...then I drove to pool...once I was situated on the lounge chair I read entire pages of my book without interruption...when I felt hungry I walked up to the poolside restaurant...I ordered my food and called Dexter to scare him. This is how it went:
Me: Dexter, guess what I'm doing (I honestly thought I could hear him typing in the our bank account website to see how much I had just spent and where)?
Dexter: Oh, no Vicki! What did you do? What did you buy? How much was it?
Me: I bought lunch.
Dexter: That's it? No therapy shopping?
Me: Nope, I just wanted to call and let you know I was at the pool, eating lunch.
I didn't mean to rub it in since he was in his dreary office on such a lovely day. OK, who am I kidding, I really did want to rub it in. I'm that kinda girl. After that thrilling conversation I left soaked up some more sun then left at my leisure. It was so nice.
So it wasn't really a bad day - well, it was for someone, just not me. Now that school is back in session, I finally get my vacation!
