Seriously?!

Last night...

Me: (to Kassidy and Kameron) Kennedy will not be going to school tomorrow. She has a doctor appointment. You will be going to school with Karla next door. She will be picking you up after school as well.

Kass and Kam: OK...

This morning...

Kameron: So, is Karla taking us to school?

Me: Um... YES! We talked about this last night.

Kam: Right...

A little while later...

Kameron: So does Karla KNOW she's taking us to school?

Me: No. I just decided to send you over there and hope she has room. Seriously?! Of course she knows!

A little while later...

Kassidy: Shouldn't you be waking Kennedy up for school?

Me: (Trying REALLY hard not to lose it.) Kennedy. Doctor appointment. You. School. Karla.

Kassidy: Riiiiight.

Me: *sigh* You DO remember she's picking you up, right?

Kassidy: Of course Mom, why wouldn't I?!

Me: HA!

How much you want to bet they'll be shocked when Karla picks them up, even though we talked about it again??? KIDS!!!

Even at a young age, they have learned the art of "selected listening." :)

Okay, so I hate to be the one to point this out, but didn't you just post yesterday how you had to load everyone in the car after getting home to pick up Kass' meds from the pharmacy and then you even forgot to give her the meds until she was already in bed, lol? Okay, sorry I had to say it. Oh and I guess that was on FB now on your blog, huh. So now all of your blog readers know you're just as forgetful as your children. Sorry, just picking on you. Totally kidding because I know how it goes. Sometimes you really wonder if to your children you just sound like the adults from Peanuts. You know mumble mumble mumble nothing understandable ;).

Your kids are so funny!! Were they shocked when they saw your neighbor?
Anyway, I was wondering, since you always post about kids with cancer if you could maybe put a link to this post: http://enbergadventures.blogspot.com/2010/04/ok-new-project.html
It's for kids fighting cancer..
Have a nice day!

Just another fun day at your house!
Continuing to pray!
Psalm 73:23-26 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
