I was in such a hurry to get the kids in the car after soccer practice so Dave and I could get to our separate church meetings. It's always such an ordeal....have to pack up the dinner we ate while watching Izak's practice, pack up the toys to entertain the other three children (2 that we babysit) during practice, and pack all the children into the car.
By the time I actually pull out of the parking spot I feel like I deserve an award for making it out of there with all my children in one piece without yelling at everyone (I didn't say I don't yell, I said I don't yell at everyone-did you catch that?).
So, you can imagine how helpful it was when, while I'm loading all our crap stuff, and a lady in a car waiting starts getting all impatient asking if I'm going to leave soon.
I politely inform her that I am leaving soon, but that it's going to take a little while.
She then proceeds to raise her voice explaining that she's holding up traffic waiting for me to leave.
And then I explain that I have four children that I am trying to get into the car and that she is welcome to either wait until I'm done loading everyone/everything, or she is welcome to move on and look for another spot.
At that point all I hear is "RUDE, RUDE, RUDE....blah, blah, blah (seriously, I couldn't tell what she was saying. Thankfully.)..." So, I just turned away and continued trying to load my children into the car.
And then a friend of mine walked up and said, "Hey, is that lady yelling at you cause she wants you to close the passenger door so she can get into that spot next to you?" And then I look over. And sure enough, the spot next to me is empty. And the door is wide open.
Yep. I'm awesome like that.

I'll have to tell her tomorrow that you are a 'special' mom and need a little TLC... and patience.
Hahahaha! Best story! Love it!
It's ok, Kate.
I will be your security at practice next week.
Oh My! That was hilarious. Totally sounds like something that would happen to me! :)
AWESOME! Let me tell you, I was majorly stressed as well. Until I walked up and saw you with that open door. Absolute comic relief. And guess what? That mean lady was a mom of one of the kids on the team that we were playing. I made sure to give her a dirty look for you. :) Cuz she was RUDE!
ha, ha, ha!! But you totally deserve something for your awesomeness in not yelling at "everyone" ( I totally caught that) so don't forget to treat yourself!! And I am so glad that Toni gave her a dirty look, I think that lady needed it.
Kate........this was so totally funny!! I wish I was better at seeing the humor in things rather than just the rudeness....you have no idea how it makes my day when you put up a new post. I am so glad that you share your life's insights with others....love you lots and lots, mom
Oh man! That funny! And dont you ever forget YOU = AWESOME! LOVE YOU!
Totally awesome.
That is too funny. I mean, I'm sure it didn't feel funny at the time, but now I'm sure it does.
