We got the teacher intensive stuff done this morning and the kids did play outside. My Mom came over early for Latin lessons because she’d taken a half day from work in order to greet the missionaries she is housing for the conference this weekend (after Latin lessons). We got the naps synchronized enough to go shopping at Staples. Hooray!
It sounds like an efficient day up to that point.
That’s the point where I locked the keys into the mini van.
I walked back to the Staples to ask to use a phone. The 20ish clerks looks a bit confused when I asked to borrow a phone. I explained that I did not have a cell phone. Still getting blank looks from the 20ish clerks, a lady standing in line to buy something lent me hers. DH works locally, so he arrived in less than 20min with a ride from work.
Meanwhile I bought snack food (chocolate covered almonds), played the-chase-K-through-the-store game, and "geography, non-reader edition." That’s where you think of place names (fantasy ones acceptable) that begin with the last sound of the place name the player before you did. There are too few geography words that begin with ‘a.’ They all seem to end in ‘a.’ (Austria, Russia, Alaska, Antartica, Narnia…) When I played the game on long trips to Long Island with my grandparents, we had to use letters. With M playing we used sounds.
There are still to many ‘a.’ words though.
