i adulted well tonight

It's not the carline's fault...it's not totally the carline's fault.  Today was the first day of school, and I knew traffic would be a mess, so we left early.  Morning carlines - went great.  I've been doing this for 15 years...this afternoon, though.  High school was a sort of nightmare...middle school?  Ouch.  I had the deputy have me "circle around" TWICE because he couldn't let me in the turn lane..."circle around" at the middle school means continuing on that fairly main road to another turn, cutting through a pretty big neighborhood, then coming back out to the intersecting road and trying again.  Chloe and the two kids I drive home saw me...both times...my phone started blowing up..."Why are you driving past school?  I see you."  They probably thought I was playing a wicked prank on them.  It's 10:35 p.m. and I'm at home on my computer, so we did get home.

Dinner with some amazing friends at Acropolis...I always feel like such a grownup when I go to a restaurant with other women...I don't know why.  Even though I have crayons in my purse and bitstrips on my phone.  I ordered a dirty martini, after placing my filthy purse down.  And a salmon salad.  This wasn't my usual Chick-Fil-A order, peeps...oh no, this was me, showered, makeup on, a necklace even...you should've seen it.  I did get a picture of our beautiful salads.

Home now waiting on laundry...all thoughts of being a martini drinking grownup pummeling down...who am I kidding?  I'd rather be in my nasty sandals waiting on laundry than drinking martinis.  But the hanging out with friends?  Any time...and the salmon salad was pretty good, too.
