Busy day.......

I took the day off of work b/c the boys had their middle school orientations today, and to add to that, I had a Dr appt for Tristen this morning and then he had a social event for band this evening. This is what my hectic schedule consisted of:

7am-wake up
8am- call dr to make appt for T (got it made for 930)
915-leave for dr appt and HOPE that they can see us quickly (which isn't normal). YAY...we made it out of there in record time....30 minutes.....which will NEVER happen again!
945-leave dr office with prescription and run by wal-mart to drop off prescription.
1030-Tristen's 7th grade orientation which was scheduled to only be in an hour, but we were there until 1150. It wasn't tooo terrible. We picked up our pre-orders for the School Supply Wrap Pack, PE clothes for Colby and Tristen's athletic workout gear. He got his schedule, athletic gear and his athletic locker. OMG....I can't believe I have a 7th grader in athletics! This is a whole new ball game now. We will now be juggling Colby's baseball and Tristen's football.
1150-head home (3 minutes from the school), grab a quick bite to eat, and get Colby
1220- leave the house with both boys and take Tristen BACK up to the school for band. (At this point, I'm crossing my fingers, toes, and anything else that can be crossed that I don't run out of gas, as I NEVER get gas until after my light comes on. Mind you, my light had been on since the day before!) Drop Tristen off....and run to get gas since Colby's orientation doesn't start until 1.
1245-file back into the gym, where i've already sat for an hour and 10 minutes earlier today....only to listen to the same speech, rules, policies, blah blah blah blah that I heard in Tristen's orientation. PTA this, PTA that, band playing, kids whispering, Principal talking, cheerleaders dancing and cheering, Principal telling kids to stop talking, parents whispering behind me about nothing important, tween boys snickering b/c the principal said 'crotch' (in reference to saggy pants in the dress code...'I don't want to see the crotch of your pants hanging down by your knees'). Oh my......oh my. At this point, I'm really ready to get the hell out of there. Oh no, but wait...we still have to get Colby's schedule. We get Colby's schedule and it is WRONG. They had him enrolled in band and he isn't doing band. With the 6th graders they do a mock day and go through the entire bell schedule, to assist them with finding their classes. This worked beautifully last year with Tristen. This year...BIG.FAT.JOKE.CHAOS.CLUSTER^&(*K! The bells weren't working, new teachers to the school weren't in their classrooms....it was just utter chaos. By this point...............I'm ready to get out of there as fast as I can. Before we left, Colby joined the Husky Howlers.....the boys spirit group for basketball games. (Since Colby can't play school sports until 7th grade.)
300-get home and take a breather.
355-take Tristen to band social
530-pick Tristen up from band social

Now it is 630......J still hasn't made it home from work yet, and I'm ready to call it a day and hit the hay.

Update: I stopped blogging when J walked in the door at 640. He obliged to my request to take me to Rosa's for dinner....even though he isn't CrAzY about Rosas. What a whirlwind day!
