"Sick" Kid

1.  Today Grace had to stay home because of the fever yesterday afternoon.  We all got to sleep til 8, which was a rare treat!  She was feeling fine all day and could easily have gone to school.  I decided we'd go out and do all the errands I needed to do today.

2.  We went to Target and got loads of stuff for the party.  I even was able to get Lola's birthday gift with Grace distracting Lola so she didn't see it.  Then when I was done paying, Grace showed me the "treat" that she had wanted and had forgotten to put in the cart.  I then went to pay for it and the lines were pretty long.  One lane opened up and I looked around to see if anyone who was waiting longer than me was going to go to it, when they didn't, I headed that way.  A man who hadn't even been in a line came zipping over to the line.  Ironically, one cashier told the other that that register was broken.  So, I laughed bitterly and said to him, "Might be Karma!"  At that point we were at the next register and he told me I could go ahead.  Obviously, he realized he was in the wrong.  Sometimes I just can't hold my tongue when I see an injustice, however small.  I just thought that was so highly rude that I had to say something.  Glad I did!

3.  Tonight I made dozens of sea life sugar cookies for Lola's party.  I'm planning on having the kids decorate them with frosting and sprinkles.  The weather looks iffy for the weekend and I want to make sure we have inside things to do.  The cleaning ladies came today and I had them work in the basement to get ready for guests if it does rain.
