Today was the day that we did not want to wake up to. To begin with, it is the first day since Steve began his new job that the kids and I and Steve all were going in different directions. We attempted to prepare but I have not yet read this chapter in the worst case scenario handbook. First, Steve called me to let me know that he had received notification from Owen's school and Owen has had several instances of bad behavior today. He fell into another child which resulted in a head bashing into concrete, same thing with a drinking fountain, and then just all around horse-play later in the day. This does not make for happy dad. When I called to have my mom talk with Owen, I found that I had miscommunicated about pick up times and Steve did not pick Owen up from the neighbors house. I found out that the rent check I wrote yesterday, thinking it would clear tomorrow, went through today and was returned. Then, Steve got home and the power was turned off, saying we owed over $600.00. We ended up going all night with no power because their systems were down. Emma was not where she was supposed to be when Steve went to pick her up, and all the phones died with no power. Whew...glad that one is over.
