I don't like to be late to things, but I really don't like to be too early to things either. I like to get there with a couple minutes to spare, slide right in, be there just in time. On the other hand, Kyle likes to be places several minutes early. This is a conflict. For example, today before Church (we have Church at 1:30pm-yuck- have had it at that time for 2 yrs since our building burned down and we are patiently waiting for the new one to get done...almost finished! then we will have 9:00 church- woohoo!) I was saying we had a lot of time before we needed to leave and of course Kyle disagrees and says we need to leave soon. Okay, we leave when he wanted to leave and arrive to Church 15 mins early. Too early for me! It's just 15 more minutes of sitting with kids in a pew and doing what? I ended up wandering over to a friend and talking to her, but still it annoys me to be there so early. So it's lovely, he gets annoyed when I stall and I get annoyed when we leave too soon! haha!
Last week, I met up with my Mom and Sara at Ikea and had fun shopping and browsing. Then we ate at Chipolte (yum), did some shoe shopping and then went home with tired kids while they shopped til they dropped at the mall. Kyle and I went to see Moneyball with some friends last night. It was funny, but then got long and slow towards the end. Very long movie. It was based on a true story which was pretty cool. The kids were good for the babysitters- phew. I just finished a book the other day, I'll Walk Alone by Mary Higgins Clark. Now I need another good book to read. We still need to fit in going to a pumpkin farm, going to the zoo- our membership expires at the end of the month so I want to use it one more time- a corn maze for mutual, a ward halloween party on Friday and Halloween...all before the end of the month. I'm thinking our Saturday will be busy.

Whew.... I'm tired. Sorry about Kyle wanting to be early.... He might get that from me. I hated for my hair clients to be late so I always try to be early. Oh but not when I'm on vacation so that would be when I'm at your house. lol
Oh brother Mom. I'm like you Heidi and like the couple minutes theory. Milo is just. like. Kyle. He may even be worse. A definite conflict, one we're working on, haha.
Yes, you have the very best pumpkin farms, you can't not go. Go for us!
I liked all three books by Kate Morton. The Forgotten Garden and The House at Riverton best. The Distant Hours was good too, ranked 3rd. ;) I'll try to think of other ones I really liked.
Well...my problem isn't so much the time of arrival, but rather WHERE WE SIT! Craig does not want to be the center of attention - ever - and so therefore, he wants to fade into the background. Consequently, he chooses to sit in corners, in the back, along the very edge or anywhere else it's difficult to see, hear or participate, as well as cold (close to air conditioning vents). So we argue nearly every time we go to a meeting where we're going to sit. I know opposites attract, but it doesn't make living together very compatible!
I love this! Your post was funny, but these comments just add to it. I'm the one that wants a little bit more time. Jason always underestimates how much time we actually need to get everyone out the door and there on time without disrupting the meeting by having to walk up to the front for the only available seats! I hear you though on the not too early. There have been times when my own desire to be early has been the means of creating a very unhappy mamma because my kids won't sit still in the pew and church asn't even started. yeesh!
