That's what the cable box is saying to me right now. Don't believe me? Here, have a look:
Sort of a fun day. I'm weary, a bit, and still sick. Rob's miserable. Kids are still minorly sick but dealing fine. Jack and Chlo both went to school today and had no problems. Whew. Sophie and I went out and did a T-Mobile shop while they were away, and it went swimmingly. And I canceled another shop and completely forgot about a third, dammit. Even with the Palm, I'm just not totally up to par right now.
Rob came home muy early and surprised me and Soapy. That was nice. Partly because I adore seeing him, and partly because it meant I wouldn't have to drag the Tots with me to pick up Chloë at school and go over everything I need to do to run next Friday night's PTA Bingo. The committee chair is going to be out of down, and crazy ol' me volunteered to take over in her stead. Ay ay ay. I have to set up and organize the concessions and prizes and tables for those and the membership drive, get volunteers to run those things, sell the dabbers and Bingo pads, and... a whole bunch of other stuff I'm going to beg Rob to come help me do! It should be fine, as long as I don't have to do any announcements! Public speaking is not for me.
I brought the eldest child home, and we picked up Rob and the Littles to go to the Cox service center. Our DVR box doesn't have an output for our DVD player, so there's been a whole bunch of annoying cable switching going on this week. Aack. I can't stand it. So we got a new box.
Rob brought along the GPS that I just gave him today, in honor of our seventh anniversary. We met this month in 2000! He loves his fancy new toy, especially since I bought him a much upgraded version of the one he's been hoping for. And then he told me that he has a three-day weekend! For Veteran's Day??! Seven years together, and I still can't remember that he gets Veteran's Day off. The kids have school, so I just didn't expect it. Yay, three days! That's like a gift for me, in return. And then, I got a phone call from Sylvia Hutson - the local talent agent I'm sure I've mentioned? She submitted Chloë's head shot for a print ad for some company or other here in town, and they want her! She'll dress up as a flower girl in a faux wedding. The shoot is on Wednesday. Her first gig! Way to go, Miss Chlo!!
Next, everyone was complaining of starvation - including me - so we stopped at Panera for dinner. Now y'all know what a big fan of Panera I am. Love it, love it, looooove it. We all do. We lingered over the meal and enjoyed each other's company. It was nice.
After that, we headed over to Wally to get a bunch of necessities. Some of you might remember that we won a portable DVD player from the Parade magazine contest? And then we won another one from... I don't remember, or maybe I cashed in some points for it, I don't know. We used one in the car and one in our bedroom. Same brand: Coby. A little while, they both just quit on us, with no warning. So we freecycled one last night and bought a new one tonight, for the car. Yay. Sophie's been going crazy trying to get her movies to play out there. No more Coby for us, man.
We got the Ratatouaeioulle DVD, too, and watched it when we came home. Love that flick. Very cute. And I got a new binder and page protectors for all my knitting and crochet patterns, which I organized while watching the rat. I'm so excited about that. My patterns are so much more organized and, dare I say it, chic, now that I can see what all I have. Chic! Ha! Knitting patterns! Simple pleasures. And then I got back to my knitting, finishing up the back of the dress thingy I'm making right now:
Time for me to go ni-ni. I have to get up early to take (bring? I can never figure out when to use those) to her Sylvia Hutson audition tomorrow morning, early. I frigging hate mornings. Bleh.
Fin.
