".....broke her......"

They last two to three days I have been totally swallowed by the preparations of our garage sale. We had four different families going in together so it takes a little time to get everything together. Making sure everyone used different price tag colors, getting enough tables, posting an ad, etc......

I had to work Friday and had a ton of work to do there but my mind was on the garage sale. I was constantly writing on a piece of paper what I need to do when I got off work. About 12 pm my cell phone rings. I look down at it and it is the daycare. In about 10 seconds my mind races to what happened to Maddie, does she have a fever, not keeping food down, the thoughts are endless.

I answer the phone and it is the director.....my mind then goes to what did Jack do and why is he in the office again. The director says, "During Water play today........my mind goes to oh no what happen to Katie. Katie's class has water play every Friday. The school only calls if something serious happened. The next word that came out of her mouth was BROKE.

At this point, my heart is racing, I am trying to figure out how to get out of work because I just know I am going to the Urgent Care or ER. Then I hear her say...."her flip flop. She has no shoes to wear and will be barefoot when I pick her up."

I almost busted out laughing. After everything we have been through... I just assume the worst so that when it isn't I can cope with less. Why in the world did I need a phone call that her flip flop broke???? After I calmed down and thought about it. It really isn't a good idea for her to be barefoot in the school full of germs. So I quickly told the director she had socks in her cubby to make her wear them till I pick her up.

I would have been so upset had Katie been hurt...I was so glad she wasn't. Every time I thought about it the rest of the day I laughed.

On a separate note the garage sale was a pretty good. Not as good as in the past but Katie May can pick out a few new pair of flip flips and water shoes for school.
