Wednesdays used to be so simple, School, Student Council meeting, pick up T, Weight Watchers meeting, home. I decided to eliminate Student Council, to give myself more time, and now, I have less time. How do these things happen? Yesterday I completely set myself up for success, I took my walking clothes to school, changed during my conference so that I was ready to go when the bell rang, I wanted to get in a 3 mile walk before I picked up T.
I dropped off the van in T's school parking lot and headed out for my walk. Beautiful neighborhood, everyone says "Hi" when you pass them, just the right amount of sun and shade. This is when I was lulled into believing I was in control of my day. When I returned to T's school, I was met at the door by the director. Apparently T had seen me walk by the school and had been melting down for the last hour because he knew I was there, and he wanted to leave. My five year old, who really just goes with the flow, was absolutely hysterical. Guilt. I get him in the car, thinking he will be soooooo happy to see me, I should have no problem getting him to go to the WW meeting with me. WRONG !!!!!! He does not want to go, he does not want to cooperate in any way shape or form. If he can find a way to slow me down, or defy me, he is finding it. Finally, after alot of whining, grumbling, and arguing we are on our way to the WW meeting with a quick stop at the drugstore. When I have put my foot down about buying a toy at the drugstore, my incredibly crabby T stomps his foot, puts his hands on his hips, plants himself in the middle of the (very busy and crowded) pharmacy aisle, and declares, loudly,
"Lady, you are pushing ALL my buttons today, aren't you!!!!"
