I am the pilot

I recently read a quote that said "Time flys but the good thing is your the pilot."
I have thought a lot about this the last few days and don't know if I agree with it.
Happy St. Patrick's day.
Our day started out when Teegan woke up disappointed that the leprechaun didn't come. At that, I sprang out of bed, I heard the leprechaun had made a special trip to Target yesterday just for that stuff. (Can I plead my case? My kids were up really late, like 10:30 late. Landon was actually in talking to us about his birthday while Mike and I were in bed.) Funny thing was, the leprechaun actually did come. He just hide the candy and Teegan had not found it. (I wonder how many times that one is going to work)
Off to work I went. Why do kids have such attitudes? After work I ran home for an hour. Make green Jello for our big St. Patrick's day dinner while texting Whitney about picking her up since she had to stay after school to beg teachers to give her a better grade since she was told that if she didn't get her grades up her cell phone was being taken away. Pick Whitney and 2 friends up and dropped them off at the corner by our house because I was going to be late for my dentist appointment. I had a tooth that I knew needed something, the dentist drilled it and I ended up having a quick root canal while the man in the next chair talked about how scary root canals sound and that he hopes to never have one. It's all routine for me, what's a half an hour and a months salary.
Ran home just to pick Landon up so I could run him to his friends on my way to Scouts (he only called me 3 times at the dentist). Took the Scouts to the park to pick up garbage. Ran them home and went straight to Whitney's soccer practice to pick her up. Practice went a half an hour over making it 6:45 when we pulled in the driveway. I had big plans of making a fun "green" dinner. I had even made green Jello remember? I wanted to eat before 8:00 and realized Mike was still at work, Whitney was home long enough to change and go to YW at 7:00 and Landon was still at his friends with strict instructions not to pick him up until he called. Oh well. So I decided on grilled cheese and threw the first one on. I ran in to check email real quick when Teegan came in to tell me the stove was smoking. I ran out to a smoke filled room and a black sandwich while Teegan just kept saying that one is yours, I am NOT eating that. I GIVE UP!!! Dinner tonight is green jello -want something else? Make it yourself! I am the pilot.
