The alarm clock went off at 5:30 a.m. and it has been a race since then. It is now 6:15 p.m. and I am sitting down for the first time today. Ahhhh...it must be a Monday.
First I helped hubby finish packing for his trip, then I got Courtney bathed and dressed followed by a quick bowl of cereal.
Then Jerry went to the airport, Jonathan to class and Court and I were off to our Gastroenterology appointment. That took two and a half hours most of which was finding a parking space and waiting to be seen by the doc. After a mere 20 min appointment, doc was happy and I was happy and we were off once more.
Back home to change and feed the beautiful blonde one and then it was time for the days big adventure. Driving downtown with J-man so he could take pictures of some famous building for a project he is working on in his summer class. Normally he would just go himself but he needed someone to take pictures of him in front of the buildings to prove to his professor that he actually visited and took the pictures himself.
Did I mention that I hate driving in DC. I mean I hate it. All those traffic circles and one way streets make me crazy. What I expected to take only two hours turned into five because SURPRISE, SURPRISE I got lost about three different times.
I stayed fairly calm and prayed and prayed then prayed some more. We finally found our way to where we needed to be and made it out of DC in time for all the lovely afternoon traffic leaving the city.
After crawling along for what seemed like three weeks we made our way back toward home and stopped at the grocery store. We were out of T.P. which in our world qualifies as a national emergency so there was no getting out of it.
I was starving and just about passed out when I walked in and smelled rosemary garlic bread baking. I could identify that fragrance from across the state I love it so. You should never go to the grocery store hungry. It's bad, very bad! As I passed through the prepared food section I just wanted to dive in I was salivating.
Not to worry though...only one pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream made in into the basket. No bread, no cupcakes, so I'm not feeling so bad about the ice cream!
After we purchased our precious T.P., ice cream and a few other perishables, we were off to the dry cleaners to drop off and then one more errand and HOME babY HOME!
Now all I want to do is go to bed. Unfortunately there is still dinner to make, dishes to do, laundry to fold and a cute blond ones to read to and snuggle with.
The last part I'm actually looking forward to.
How did your day go?

Our B meet got cancelled due to thunder. Since we have only B swimmers, this was a real blow. But I got the kitchen cleaned in the meantime while we were waiting for them to end up cancelling the meet. And then the dryer blew up over the weekend. But we don't have TOO MUCH LAUNDRY, do we? Of course not. Thank you for posting your day, because mine looks fabulous by comparison! :-) We need to know which flavor of B&J to imagine enjoying....
Oh NO Allison- the dryer! Yikes. Mine is working overtime right now!!
The flavor that always makes it into by grocery cart id coffee heath bar crunch!!! YUMMMM!!
Hopefully tomorrow is a better day and the laundry won't run you over!!
Did the ice cream make it home? The heat here in N NJ is unbearable...better to eat it in the car with the AC blowing on you-otherwise it would be soup by the time you got it home!!
No pic taking in Alex's WesternCiv class. Although after last night's video, I could run through the reasons other than the cold Russian winter which contributed to the German defeat at Stalingrad.
Just to make you feel better- we NEVER figured out how to get OUT of DC...we'd go home a different way each time...EEK. We're much better with NYC, believe it or not!!

Wow! You are indeed SUPER woman Mary!
And hey, if you run into my hubby in DC, tell him I said "hello", LOL
He drives there all the time as well and feels pretty much the same as you do about it! Congratulations on that self-control in the grocery store! Great job!
All I can say is WOW! You did have 'A day!' Mine was calm in comparison, even with a bit of running around in the morning. The rest of the day I was home, not driving in DC - yikes! Oh, and I love the bit about timing and rush hour. Precious! I am glad that I am not the only one with that talent. It happened to me more than I like to remember.
Here's hoping that your Tuesday is better. Kiss that blond one for me, will ya?
My ice cream yesterday was chocolate moose tracks by Hudsonville creamery (local company and totally delish). That and a slice of birthday cake.... I'm 44 years young, you know.
XOXO

Anne - Happy Birthday!! I can't believe i missed it!! Argh!! I hope the cake is yummy.
Cza Cza - Yes, the ice cream made it home. It was delightful. I had to stop myself from eating the whole pint in one sitting. I look forward to part two tonight!
OHFFLW- i am sure I probably passed your hubby three or four times as I circled in and out of DC! LOL!
