Don't forget my toy!

So, I left work about 15 minutes early tonight because I had to get Luke picked up & meet our contractor, along with the carpet guy, before 5:30. Got stuck by a stop light on my way to daycare for 20 minutes, so I was running late! Went in to get Luke & he kind of threw a fit about leaving, but finally gave in. Of course he wanted me to carry him (which I didn't mind because I was running late) & when he got in his car seat I could tell something was wrong. He broke down in tears & was saying how these two boys in his class didn't like him because they were running away from him when they played outside. Well, I called Erik to see if he was going to get home in time to see Luke before his bedtime, he said he would, & that's when he informed me that our contractor was running 45 minutes behind. I'm VERY thankful for this because I was running at least 10 minutes behind & I desperately needed gas. Well, with Luke having a bad day realizing the hard life that not everyone is going to like us all the time, I decided tonight he needed a special treat, so I got him McDonald's for dinner. Needless to say he was excited! So, we get to the speaker where you order & I order him his Happy Meal & as we're pulling away from the speaker, Luke screams to the guy taking our order, "and don't forget my toy!" It was funny. When we got home I was asking him what happened at day care & he said that Dylan & Darrell kept running away from him outside & they wouldn't play with him, but when they were inside they would play with him. I was trying to teach him that if people can't be his friend all the time then they weren't really his friends, but that was ok because he had plenty of other friends that were his friends all the time. It's a hard lesson & unfortunately they learn it too quickly. It just broke my heart to see him break down like that because these boys were being mean to him.

So, we get home & I had plenty of time to do some things before our contractor came & brought the carpet guy. We are going to have a whole new house by the time we get home from vacation!! We are getting 2 holes in our walls patched up, carpet in our kitchen/dining/ living/hallway replaced with laminant, & carpet in our bedroom replaced. Seriously, a whole new house (or at least it will feel like one)! It was cute because before our contractor left Luke said, "We're getting all new flooring done for my birthday?" Which ok, we're not getting it done because it's his birthday, but it will be done in time for his birthday! :)

Not much else is going on. Didn't get to work out tonight, which I really needed to, but I figured by 8:30 (when I actually could work out) that dinner was more important. :) Hope you all had a great day! Until tomorrow...
