Tuesday, my daughter sits down to eat and randomly says, "I want to go to the Iowa State Fair for my birthday." She's never been there, nor has she ever mentioned it in the past.
My exact reaction:
I can only assume she has an ulterior motive. She is friends with our college friend's daughter that lives in Altoona and has probably been texting her for the past few months to try to figure out a way to get together.
To add to the fun, she has a soccer game tomorrow night at 6:30.
My day tomorrow will be:
- work for 10 hours
- rush home, scoop up the offspring and head to her soccer game (about an hour of Friday rush-hour traffic)
- leave game and drive 3-3.5 hours to my sister's house in Urbandale
- drink a well-deserved beer
