I Want My Marbles Back...

I have totally lost my marbles!!!

So little miss Nica Boo has testing this week. Very similar to the public schools "TASK" testing. She is in the first grade and this is her very first year of testing. At our PTO meeting we discussed appropriate snacks and drinks to be provided for the kiddos during this week. Then as homeroom mom for her class I sent out emails requesting snack and waters to be brought in by parents. So last night I stayed up till midnight packaging grapes and chex mix for 25 kids and then printing out labels for each child water bottles. This morning i wake up in the mad mom rush!! I get Nica fed and im fighting my no coffee mood swings to ensure that she has a pleasant morning for her first day of testing!! I have to locate and clean the ice chest and then chug-a-lug it to my car. Once in my car I see that baby girl is tired and has no energy, so i decide to hall but and pick her up an orange juice on the way to school. OH but wait if she needs energy, I bet the whole class needs energy and what kind of a homeroom mom would I be if I didnt get orange juice for the whole class?!?!? And wait a minute.....who wants warm OJ and water?!?!?! Not I said the cat, not I said the mouse, then who?!?! (is that a song or something?!?!) okay so off we run into walmart to get 25 orange juices and ice. And because we are'nt already late we get chased into the store by a stray dog! okay, corrections i was chased in by the dog, nica was held back by the dog! "oh, mommy, he has a tag, can we please call animal rescue?, it's lenten season!!!" (i'm so sick of hearing that by the way!!) We get to school with 2 minutes to spare before she is TARDY, running running running in with 1 ice chest thats heavy as hell, 1 giant bag of grapes, 1 giant bag of chex mix, and 1 overfilled back pack, almost to the door............................and then I hear a mother in the parking lot say, "yep that's right testing begins TUESDAY." effing shit!

Marbles all over the parking lot, who would like to help me find them?!?!
