Fall from Grace...and ability

Coming home from scouts last week, Caleb was remarking that since mom was going to Michigan next week, I would need to take Lily and Caleb to practice, which was almost at the same time. The conversation went as such:

Caleb: "But you have to take Lily to soccer on Tuesday"

After 90 minutes of mind-melting cub scout screeching and hyperactivity, I was not wanting to think, plan, blink, argue, or get out my calendar, so I replied:

"I'll work on that next week, Caleb"

Caleb: "But I have practice at the same time too.....what if Lily is across the city, and I am on the other side?"


Still not wanting to think about anything and my mind already hurting inadvertently planning *how* I will do it, I reply:

"I'll just worry about it next week. I can't even think right now, don't worry about it, bud..."


Caleb: "I just need Deeeeeeeeetails."


Me: (getting a little miffed at this point) "Caleb, I used to help plan search and rescue missions, I think I can handle Soccer and Baseball practice."

Caleb: silent........."I need Deeeeeetails"
