This is going to be fun

Next Friday there is going to be a family day thing at the Police Academy and they want all of the families to attend.

Sounds good, right?

Sure we'll come. I'll drive 2.5-3 hours to the Academy to arrive at 9:30 with all 5 kids, by myself, it'll be great.

But wait, I just found out more, it starts at 9:30 and we will be in a classroom listening to a lecture for a while,

A LECTURE????? Umm, this is a family thing, right? They know that your kids are coming?

So they expect small children to sit quietly and listen to a lecture?

And then after a lecture we get to observe a class with Tony in it doing defensive tactics. Observe A Class.

With a 2 year old who hasn't seen her daddy in 5 days. Yeah, you bet.

So I had a bright idea. I'll get one of these http://tinyurl.com/2zcub7
Yeah that'll go over well. Nahli has no problem making herself heard. I can see it now. I put that thing on her and her voice raises to levels that only dogs can hear. She's screaming at the top of her lungs, "Yet do a me! Yet do a me! YET DO A ME!!!" (let go of me)

Crap, I have 5 kids 8 and under and they expect us to sit through a lecture and then watch Tony from the sidelines. This thing is to last from 9:30 until 4. And Tony doesn't get to join us until lunch time. After a really long drive to get there. After I have to get them up earlier than they EVER get up. With NO nap.

Oh HELP.

So Tony asks his parents if they will come.

Nope, they don't want to.

ARRRRGGGGHHHH

please................. anyone................help..................
