Rain, Confusion, and Pappy Went Boom!!!

Well, yesterday was a bust. I had the evening time out to the minute. After work, I had to get the kids registered for school, get Rylee to football practice, and be at the high school in time to see McKayle perform.

As life often happens (to me)...my well sculpted plan took a drastic turn the moment I walk into Elwood Haynes to register the boys. I was soooo glad to see my former students...I almost cried. One little girl thought I was going to be at school this year because I was there. Sadly, I had to tell her (and her parents) I was only there to register my boys. I spent time talking to teachers, secretaries, and the principal. In the midst of talking, it started to rain. Reggie was in route to take Rylee to practice. Of course, it was cancelled. I stayed at EH wayyyyy to long. I had to rush to Central to enroll Brevin. Well, I got to talking there also. Imagine that!!! We made it to the high school right at 7:30pm. Driving up we started to wonder if we had the right time. There were hardly any cars in the lot. Once in the building, there were students, but no parents. I found an adult and asked where we should go. He replied,"Go for what?" I knew right then I was going to kick McKayle in the butt. I saw McKayle across the room and he shrugs his shoulders. I shook my head. Once he could get to me, he said he had the wrong night and it was tomorrow night. Great!!! So we left and I went to the gym with a friend.

As for Pappy, he really did it this time. The other night he was checking his pumpkins and lost his balance. He went tumbling down the hill and landed on his elbow. The fall caused him to tear his rotater cuff (cup??). He spent the evening at the hospital. They were able to schedule his surgery for next Wednesday. Can you believe he tried to work the next day. Of course my mom talked him out of it...but doesn't that sound like my dad. He is a trip. In hindsight, I would have lost my bladder to see him rolling down the hill. I still wonder how he got back up. Those DARN pumpkins.
