A Day of Facebook Status Updates

I guess this is what it would look like if I "twittered" or "tweeted"....or updated my facebook status with every little detail...whatever...
  • 7:30am....is drinking a whole pot of coffee all-by-herself, she's gonna need it!
  • 0815am....is yelling at kids to get in the car before we are late to soccer...
  • 0840am....has one set of soccer pictures done, with two boys...coffee refilled from the thermos
  • 0845am....is surviving the chaos with help...sent the girl with friends to her team photos and game
  • 0930am....is watching the boy score a goal!
  • 0945am....found the boy's lost water bottle!
  • 0950am...is speeding across town to watch the girl's game
  • 0955am...must stop for camera batteries and snack for boy
  • 1015am....made it!   The keeper is doing a great job keeping the team from scoring!
  • 1100am...watched the girls team play great....still lost the game...but way to go KEEPER!
  • 1230pm...has shopping done at Walmart, what a zoo!  Halloween costumes and candy purchases complete.
  • 1330pm...is taking a deep breath, happy meals and a playground...and spying a fellow mom with a FLASK of liquor hanging out of her jacket pocket?!?  
  • 1345pm....is listening to flask mom's sad tales, is appropriately sympathetic and empathetic...and tells her we'll be praying for her to get a job and for daughter to make friends in her new school...felt like a platitude...
  • 1450pm...is stealing garbage from outside playground at Mickeydees...yes, she (the mom!) threw the retainer away!!! 
  • 1500pm...leaving Mickey-dees feeling heavy hearted and unsure what I could/should have done to help....and while I was talking to the mom, my girl was in the slide asking the other girl if she knows Jesus and is a Christian...((sigh)).
  •  1502pm...drove around Mickey-dees several times looking to see if flask mom and daughter had a ride or were walking, didn't see them again...
  • 1515pm....stopped at a yard sale:  Lincoln Logs, bug jar, a couple books...
  • 1600pm....is home...cleaning kitchen
  • 1630pm...put it off long enough, sorted through the garbage and found the retainer (YUCK!!!!)
  • 1745pm...is headed to a friends house so a date night can be had....
  • 1900pm...caught-the-oven-on-fire....uuugghhh!!!!  Salt (instead of baking soda) works on fire too...everyone is safe...afraid the oven might be toast...
  • 2030pm....is thankful everyone is fine, in bed--now we just wait for date night to be over....
  • 2200pm....is home in bed...alone...still worried about the oven...praying for flask mom & daughter...goodnight FB!
