We have a LOT to cram in today because it's short--I have to leave at noon to accomplish the following tasks:
1. Pick up Ashley at Cooper Green at noon.
2. Drive to Grandmom's house, drop off Ashley, pick up Rebecca and Jonathan at around 12:30.
3. Drive to middle school to register Rebecca and Jonathan--starts at 1:00, and I have no idea when it's over. Could be quick, could be slow.
4. Drop Rebecca and Jonathan back over at Grandmom's and pick up Catherine.
5. Drive to dentist for 4:00 checkup for Catherine and me.
6. Go home, get Lightning, The World's Most Expensive Free Kitten, stuffed in his carrier, and take him back down the hill for his 6:00 booster shot appointment.
7. Take him back home, then take Catherine back to Grandmom's house.
8. Drive over to City Hall for my 7:00 zoning board meeting.
9. Drive back to Grandmom's and pick up all four children and go home.
10. Hope against hope that Reba has managed to get away from work and get home--the state inspection team showed up for their annual review yesterday morning at 6:00 a.m., and Reba didn't get home until 8:00 last night. She left to go in early this morning so she could be there when the inspectors got there today. If she could get home early, it would make it much easier because the kids could stay at home, rather than being shuttled through Grandmom's house. Of course, they're old enough to stay by themselves without much worry, except for Oldest, who is less mature than Youngest, and goes out of her way to create turmoil. If she's not around, the younger three are fine, but when she's added to the mix it's like building a campfire out of dynamite. Adult supervision, therefore, is a requirement.
ANYWAY, we have MUCH to do today!
