I have been wanting to go to my local IKEA store for probably at least a year. I have in my head that I want a whole day to explore the 293k+ square foot location. With no children. I feel bad taking a Saturday or Sunday to go b/c these are usually the only days I get to be with my kids all day. Then there are times when I just don't need anything or kind of forget about it for months at a time. So tomorrow I have off. For the past two days I have been browsing the website and decided that I just NEED to get some new window treatments.
So I have my whole plan down. Meeting a friend for coffee after I drop Jill off at school, then off to IKEA! With no children! Maybe a little swedish meatball platter for lunch. Sounds like a GREAT day off, right?
So I pick up Liam from school today and the first thing out of his mouth, "Mom, you're coming to my classroom tomorrow, right?" Blurg. Last week I told his teacher I wanted to volunteer in the classroom since I had the day off. Because last week that's what I wanted to do with my day off. But then I totally forgot about it. So, I'm trying to feel Liam out as to whether or not he would actually care if I didn't go to his classroom. It went like this:
"So, Liam, I was kind of thinking of not going to your classroom tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Because I was going to do something else."
"What?"
"Go shopping."
"No. You can do that after school."
Ha ha, so there you have it folks. I can't disappoint the kid. He actually wants me in his classroom. Which is so super cute.
I have a few more days off coming up so I guess there will be other opportunities. DAMN YOU IKEA, so close yet so far away you are!
