Another typical day in the land of chaos

Today I did the following:
Triple checked with Drama girl that she had packed her ballet gear so she could carpool with a friend straight to ballet class after school,
posted on my blog,
assembled and distributed end-of-year tutoring assessments to teachers,
cleaned cat poop,
worked on a quilt,
went to one store to get some more fabric for the quilt,
went to another store to get batting for the quilt because I forgot to get it at the first store,
did a load of laundry
cleaned cat barf,
found a piano on Craigslist,
called the piano teacher to see if she could test drive the Craigslist piano and to ask her for "The Entertainer" for Jungle Boy and "Fur Elise" for Wasabi girl,
went to the store and got a slab of animal flesh to throw into the crock pot because the whole dinner scene looked a little vague,
got a ton of groceries while I was there,
did another load of laundry because I'd forgotten to wash Wasabi girl's softball uniform
picked up a frantic phone call from drama girl who didn't go home with her ride from school because she forgot to pack her ballet gear,
picked up drama girl and took her and jungle boy to ballet class,
waved to the mailman,
discovered, once at the ballet studio, that jungle boy had forgotten his ballet bag with his shoes and drama girl had forgotten to put hair pins in her ballet bag
drove home again to get them,
waved to the mailman again on the way,
drove back to the ballet school,
waved to the mailman, who continued to wave back, but looked a little concerned,
dropped jungle boy and Drama girl,
drove back home,
waved to the mailman again, who pretended he didn't see me,
suggested to my favorite webmaster that he put favicons on his site (he did!)
collected a stack of books to offer to friend who is going on a trip,
took a 20 minute power nap,
jumped in the car again to pick up Jungle Boy and Drama girl,
the mailman appeared to have finally finished his route, so I couldn't wave,
loaned books to friend, and learned from her that Drama girl is supposed to have an essay written on math project,
everybody except husband home at one time, so slab of flesh removed from crock pot and distributed on bread as everyone changed clothes and prepared to run out the door again,
UPS guy arrived with another book from Amazon for me! Wanted to drop everything but resisted,
Cleaned more cat barf. What is going on with these cats?
gently prodded Drama girl to quit reading comics and please get homework and piano practice done,
bribed everyone with hot dogs at the game if they would get their stuff done
drove Wasabi girl to softball playoff warm up,
wrote this.

Now I'm home from the game and I found a link to this in my email. Wow. Girls rock. Here's to softball and all the great girls who play it - including Wasabi girl, who helped win our playoff game. Grab a kleenex and enjoy.
