Work today was fine. Of course, I was a little late again. My mornings are hectic enough as it is, getting the girls up, packed up and in the car all on my own is just pushing me over the edge! I actually made really great progress on my neverending inbox at work today though, so that made me VERY happy. Of course, I haven't checked my voicemail or answered my phone in at least the last week...oops.
After work, the chaos began. First of all, today was beyond hot...it was already 88 when I woke up this morning, and it was still 102 when I left work! Ouch. Thanks to the heat wave, several roads around the city have buckled, making for some long commutes home. Today, the main road to my in-laws house buckled, so I was stuck there forever! I finally arrived at their house, quickly packed up the girls and was on my way. As I again sat in traffic, the DJ came on the radio with a Taco Bell hosted "text to win" contest, for Taylor Swift tickets. Her concerts are next week, and have long been sold out. I'm not the BIGGEST fan of hers, but I do like her and would love to go (but, I also don't spend money on concerts). So, I thought, why not give it a shot. They said you text for your chance to win free items from Taco Bell, or for a lucky few, tickets to the concert. I received a text back right away that I had won a free taco, so I thought that was that.
I got home, and as I was unloading the car, my phone rang. I was trying to get a SCREAMING Amelia out of her carseat, and Olivia took my bag hostage and would not give me my phone. I finally got ahold of it, called back the number, and sure enough...it was ClearChannel Radio (just a main directory line). I can't imagine why else they would be calling unless I had won tickets. I'm seriously depressed, it would be just my luck to miss a call like that.
I then immediately noticed how hot it was in the house, and that all the clocks were blinking. Of course, power outage on the hottest day ever. So, the AC was on full blast, but barely making any headway on the heat. Amelia was the crabbiest I've ever seen her tonight, and Olivia wouldn't leave her alone, just making things worse.
Finally, even though they were sweaty betty's, I skipped baths, and put them to bed a little early. Quickly fed the animals, cleaned the litter box and was off to bed. It was a long, hot, hectic, crying-kid-filled day, and I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow, that's for sure! Tonight I did manage to snap a picture of Amelia's latest trick...gymnastics. LOL
