An excerpt from my email to Jake this evening

So, I write to Jake just about every evening and tell him all about our day. Well, today was particularly crazy, so I thought I'd share with you all. So, I give you: A Day in the Life of Emily Garris and Co. Enjoy.

So, today was another busy day. Took Joanna to school, came home. Took Nate to school, came home. Did some finances/bills. Left again at 8:45 to go back to the school because they had a volunteer appreciation brunch, to which I was invited. Went straight to the commissary from there. I was under budget by $10. Came home and brought up/put away groceries. Called the pizza parlor and reserved it for Nate's birthday party on the 9th. Nate came home. We went out again straight away because the pizza parlor wanted me to pay a deposit. Came home. Ate lunch. Nate went down for a nap. Left again to go get Joanna from school. Came home. Took a break. Got Nate up at 3:30 so that we could go to soccer practice at 4:00. We were at the gym at 3:58 and there were a bunch of adult men playing basketball in the gym. There was no coach and nobody else that I recognized from Joanna's team, so I asked the front desk guy if there was soccer practice today. He looked at the schedule and said "Yeah, at 5:00". ?? So, we turned around and came home. I had every intention of going back to the gym at 5:00. Then, Jen knocked on the door and wanted to show me something. I said, "So, what was up with soccer practice being late?". She said, "Huh?" Dale is at the gym now with Caleb and Shane at practice!". She called Dale, and he said that Shane was definitely taking part in soccer practice with the team. What the heck?? The front desk dude totally told me the wrong thing! How is it possible to be on time for practice and miss it??? *sigh* Lame. Just lame.

Crazy, eh? Hopefully tomorrow will not be as crazy. We shall see.
