I became that Mom...

So, when I had Trenton I vowed that I would never be late. It is so annoying to me that just because people have children they cannot arrive anywhere on time. A friend of mine is like that. She cannot get to anything that has a particular starting point (Church, appointments, meetings) on time, but she can get to any meal on time or any shopping trip. HMMM, your dramatic entrance to things is not needed. I have always been early. My Mom is not a fan of being late, there is never an excuse that is good enough, so I practiced getting up early and getting Trenton ready while I was on Maternity leave so I would know how to do it when I went back to work. I have never been late. I really appreciate this aspect of myself. (Modest, right?)

Well, this morning, I was late. Keep in mind, I left the house early, got Trenton to school by 7:40, but then I decided to go to Target. I knew I had to go to get Trenton an Easter basket (i know, i am early as far as time, but not so much as far as planning for events. Yes, my last job was as an event planner). In Target I got so distracted by the amount of stuff I thought I couldn't live without. I don't know how Target has that effect - especially those $1 bins, who really needs that much crap, but apparently, the masses do. I can't tell you how tempted I have been to grab something out of every slot and just call it a necessity for my child. This morning it was coloring books. Trenton can't color, but one day, one day he will and I should be prepared, right? I don't think Wes will agree with my logic, but I digress.

I got the Easter Basket; however, yesterday, we found out that Ansley and Adam are expecting a little girl. Well, I HAD to shop for her too. Sadly, I didn't actually purchase anything because I was spending so much time debating on size/season and then I had to find hairbows! (never found them) So, I look at my phone (my only clock) and realize it is 8:27 and I am supposed to be at work at 8:30. OOPS! Understand this is really late for me because I normally get to work around 8:15.

Realizing that I will be a little late, I am devestated. I was late because of my own self and my need to find hairbows. Sorry, Ansley, the hunt is still on, but I did find a really cute Easter dress; however, I don't think it is a good time to purchase it! :)

Also, Trenton's pictures (from what I hear) went fabulously! He smiled and everything! He is precious! This morning he was in such a good mood. He smiled at every one we saw. I cannot wait to see the proof for his school pictures. Watch the little guy decide that on Saturday (when I pay for professional pictures) he just isn't into that. Such is life.
