First of all, I get home to pick Sade up and realize I left the two residency papers I needed on my desk at work. I was immediately sick to my stomach. My first thought was, crap our home printer has zero ink! As I enter panic mode, we take the ink cartridge to CVS to get a replacement and CVS was a no go. While I was in psyhco mode inside CVS, Sade is calling her Nana to see if we can come use her computer. When I get back to the car, Sade has called Nana about 20 times with no answer. I was so sick at this point, I couldn't process my next move. It was 6pm and we had already heard of people waiting at the school for over an hour. I try Nana one more time and THANK THE LORD she answered! We bust over to Nana's house, use the computer, and jet to the school by 6:20pm (along with about 400 other students & parents). It was ridiculously hot inside the gym with all those people and you could not see where one line began or the others ended. Everyone was bunched up together, everyone was complaining, and at one point I said to a guy (who looked like he was in charge) "Did you think you would need an engineering degree to organize this shin-dig?" He laughed (I wasn't really laughing) and says "Yes, I think we need to figure something else out with these lines." I wanted to say "HERE'S YOUR SIGN!" Needless to say we did not get out of there until about 8:30pm (2 hours later). Sade convinced me to take her to Sonic for dinner. I was still not feeling so well, but here we are in the drive-thru at Sonic.
It was pretty comical at this point. I have to admit I have one of the best kids a mom could ask for and someday she will tell the funniest stories about our experiences together! XOXO Kiddo! 
You know, I might as well just become a comedian or write a book about all the idiotic times we've had. Yes, that is what I'll do when I grow up.
