Life with 3, Take 2

Ring! (Who would be calling right at nap time? Who is that INSANE?)

Me: Hello?
Her: Hi! This is ____ from the _____ calling. I have E and D signed up for a class?
Me: Yeah?
Her: That's today.
Me: Uh... oh! Um, what time does it start?
Her: About 20 minutes ago.
Me: Uh oh. But... I thought that was on a Saturday?
Her: [Silence. Showing much restraint by not saying, "It IS Saturday, genius."]
Me: Yeah. I don't think we're going to make it.
Her: Uh, okay. Should I just drop you from the class?
Me: Yeah, that might be best. I'm sorry.

Not to mention the Inter-Library Loan of "Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way" that sat at the library until well after I'd already given birth, naturally, apparently NOT the Bradley Way. Sigh.

Had to giggle at this since a primary aspect of my job is inter-library loan for our library! ;-) (I'm primarily in charge of lending to other libraries)lol... I think you're excuse is perfectly valid!! ;-)

Ha! It's not that three is so hard. Two, three, oh, well. Our #3 added an infinite amount of joy and fun to our lives. It's just that, especially once #3 was mobile, I had to give up certain things. Like ever getting anywhere on time. Or sitting down to eat. Or...reading, watching tv, bathing. EEK. ;)

For me 1-2 was the hardest adjustment. After that I could have a dozen! I hear a lot of people say that after 3 it doesn't get harder!

I linked you for a seven random things meme. (Trying to follow the rules and leave that in the comments...)

Question? Your blog only allows google/blogger comments (so I sign in with my email)... why no wordpress/open ID option? :)

I only ask because so often I forget to sign out of my gmail I'm always in (but you wouldn't know who I was if I commented with that one) and have to sign out (and lose my comment in the process) and then sign in with my polkadotmommy account!

Cheers!

Email me...celiacchick at gmail dot com. Thx and congrats!

I think this has happened to most of us with lots of kids. It is fun though.
