Errands

So, have you ever had one of those days where you got up, had coffee and then it exploded (the day not the coffee)?

I thought, while drinking my coffee, Manly is going to be gone for the morning, maybe I'll go exchange my coat I got for Christmas. Manly, bless his heart got me a Northface coat. The only problems were, it was the wrong size and he went way overboard. I mean I don't ski or live in the Arctic so I really didn't need a heavy, double layer coat. He promised me he was cool with me returning it so I thought, today is the day. Then it happened.

While getting ready to take out the mail we notice, she's already come. Now I love my mail lady and she really puts up with a lot from us but I never know when she's going to be here. So since I was going in to town anyway, I might as well drop off all the packages at the post office right? Then Manly mentions "Since you have to go by the post office, why not drop off the recycling?" OK, makes sense , so I load up the recycling in the suburban. Then I notice I still have 2 movies I forgot to take back after Christmas (seriously late, so shoot me). Into the car they go. Next the phone rings as I'm leaving. "Mom, the book store doesn't have the book I need for class, can you find it there and mail it to me?" "Sure wonderful Son, I would be most happy to hunt that down for you" You believe I said that, right? The sad thing is, I kinda did. Then another Son calls and reminds me that he left his pills at home when he went back to the dorm and could I run them in to him? Well he needs them right, wouldn't any good Mom just do that?Yeah I know but again, I kinda did.

So my errand to take back my coat became multiple errands in 2 towns. The good news, I did get my coat exchanged. And the really good news, I got 2 coats for less than Manly paid for the 1 coat. And the really really good news? With all my weight loss, I bought a medium and a small!! Yeah you heard me, I fit a small. Now I fit the medium better but hey.....I fit a small, so there.
