Today was a little nuts. Normally my dad and his wife visit us for a few days after thanksgiving. Her family only lives a few hours away. This year they decided to visit me first.
So I thought they were coming this Saturday. Until about a week ago when I talked to my dad on the phone and found out they were coming Thursday. Eeks! Good thing I called him right?
They problem was that the reception that day made him sound like he was speaking through a muffler far away. But I got Thursday so I figured I’d just fudge it for when they planned to leave. Dad was to bring me some favorite local foods from back home and I was going to make my cousin’s best recipe. Yay!
So today I got up debating how to run errands and finish deep cleaning the disaster that is my desk and school corner. But DS desperately needed a haircut so I text my dad to see when he wanted me to make that dish, etc. I ran out without even coffee or food in me. In the middle of DS’s haircut my dad called…AND HE WAS HALF WAY HERE!!
I had no plans for dinner. My cleaning wasn’t done. I still had to go to the store. Still hungry and lacking caffeine
It all worked out. I mean I’m not done cleaning but my desk was a disaster the last time he came too. And my kids were thoroughly warned NOT to tell him we didn’t know he was coming today.
The upside? Whoever made my egg sandwich at Dunkin gave me like triple bacon!
