Ben's Turn

So handsome and clean


The chocolate milk disaster

We ended it well

Ben started K3 today at Covenant Preschool. I felt like super-mom because I fought traffic on I-20 and I-55 and still got Will to school on time. Then it was smooth sailing to Covenant where I was the 6th car in line, ready for the doors to open for Ben's first day. It always happens, when I start feeling my super-mom cape flowing in the breeze, something comes along to snatch it off. This was the case today when the doors at Covenant finally opened and traffic began to move..... Ben, my sweet middle child who has a balance problem, managed to dump an entire bottle of chocolate milk all over his clothes. Now, if this had happened to Will, we would have had to go home and start the day over, but Ben said "uh-oh" and thought I was going to let him get out of the car with milk all over him! Since we commute 30 minutes one-way to school, I am usually prepared with extra clothes - not today! All I had in the car was extra underwear!! I cleaned up the milk and Ben got back in his car seat with just his underwear and a polo on and we headed to Target - the nearest place open that sells shorts. I have now made a contact list of all boy-mamas in the Covenant Preschool vicinity that we can call and bum shorts/etc.. off of!! We finally made it to school (late) around 9:15am! For a split second after all of that, I really considered taking Ann Phelps to a nice restaurant for breakfast instead of Chick-fil-a so I could have a bloody mary/mimosa!!!!! BUT- everything turned out well!! I love you Ben, you definitely keep me going even if you don't always help my super-mom status!!!!
