The day started out so well...

So I dropped the twins at the dentist and then took Dearra to High School. She was a bit worried about finding her friend that she was sharing a locker with (they had paperwork to finish and turn in), but when I dropped her off, there was her friend being dropped off right in front of her. So she caught up to her friend, while I went back to the dentist and had a good checkup. Good start to the day, right? Later in the morning, I called transportation to get Dearra's bus information. I had forgotten to call Friday, and Dearra had instructions to call me at lunch, so I could tell her what bus she needed to take. This was her first day ever taking the bus home. That went smoothly, and so I felt that the afternoon had a good start as well. School gets out at 1:50 on Monday, so I knew that if there was a problem, Dearra would probably call pretty close to 2:00. When the phone rang at 2, I went uh oh, but it turned out to be a friend of Cary's. Naomi had answered the phone, and I told her to get off for about 15 minutes, just in case Dearra needed to call. Two minutes later, Naomi comes down with my cell phone in hand and says "it's Dearra". Yep, you guessed it. She tried to call me exactly at the time when the other person called. "Mom, I turned in my paperwork after school, and the stupid bus doesn't wait." Sigh. "I'll be right there." Pat self on back for taking the day off. lol So I go upstairs to get my purse and shoes and hit the bathroom. I walk past the sink and wth? There's a baby lizard on the floor. So I call Naomi over, walk into the toilet and whack my toe with the door. OUCH. So I get out, and go for a Bandaid while Naomi traps the lizard underneath a plastic Easter egg. Meanwhile, Jason, our cat is going crazy trying to get at the lizard. Toe all bandaged, I slip a piece of paper under the egg and tell Naomi to put the lizard outside. I tell Cary to help her with the doors. So he opens the bedroom door, slams it behind her and goes back to the computer. Sigh, so I go downstairs with her, open the door so that the baby lizard can be free, and I go get Dearra. Everything happened at once, but after that it was all good. Except now I have to take off with her to buy supplies. Never a dull moment.
