What Natural Disaster Are You?
What Natural Disaster are you? Take the quiz!
Well, I'm not too surprised, especially after this day. 
This morning, we took Billy for his SAT. The school was about 30-40 minutes away (what else is new?) and our first plan was to just hang out until the test was over at 11:30. We changed our minds though and headed home. The plan from there was to take the girls along on the trip back. Kristin needed to buy a gift for her friend's birthday.
We got back to the school around 11:20. We waited. And waited. And waited. I began looking around the parking lot near noon. There were lots of cars parked there, many of them with waiting parents behind the wheel. Okay ... so we weren't in the wrong place.
Billy finally came out around 12:30. It wasn't his fault. The proctors were all totally disorganized and wasted a lot of valuable time. Well, in the meantime, the girls had become impatient and irritable and TB and I pretty much had had it with cars and waiting. We went home. Kristin will have to do her shopping tomorrow. :P
And I miss T and Linda. I am so used to them being around it is just weird not to hear T "talking" or bouncing in his saucer. They went to TN to visit Michele, David & the kids. They'll be gone a week. 
What on earth would a man do with himself if something did not stand in his way?
H.G. Wells
What would we do without a challenge? What if we could just go out and get everything we wanted or needed without any effort at all. Life would be boring and we wouldn?t learn to appreciate what we have!
