Challenge Me I Dare You!

Several months ago (May maybe) I had Chris's wedding ring resized. He couldn't decide if he needed an 11 1/2 or 12. So they did an 11 1/2 and said if that didn't work to bring it back and they would do it again for free. What do you know? He needed a 12. I put the ring in my purse and forgot all about it. He's been walking around for months with no ring! I noticed the other day and got insecure. I thought, "He's been taking off his ring!" No. Not so much. I was apparently holding it ransom. Anyhow I finally got around to taking it back in earlier this week. It was ready to pick up today. We were lazing around the house and I got a burst of motivation. I said, "Let's go pick up your ring and get some lunch before the game." The ring was at Gordon's in the mall. Chris swore we didn't have time and he didn't want to miss kick off. I looked at the clock. It was 12:10. I said, "I can have the kids and myself ready to leave this house by 12:40. If I can do that will you go?" He took my challenge. He REALLY did not think I could accomplish this. Little does he know that for me that is just like a typical school morning. I let him think he had won. So I ran some bathwater, gave both kids a bath, blowdried their hair, got them dressed, put their shoes on, helped Macy find her purse (she is obsessed and will not leave the house without it), washed my face, brushed my teeth, got dressed, put on my makeup, pulled my hair back, put on my shoes and marched into the living room. I pointed to the clock. It was 12:32. Not only did I win his challenge but I had 8 minutes to spare. Mothers can do alot with 22 minutes. I do not think he will challenge me again. :) Then we were off to the mall!
