True or False Quiz

1. Today Lydia and I went to our Wednesday morning Bible study and on the way home, the car got a flat tire. I called Matt, but he was too busy to help, so Lydia and I changed the tire ourselves and then drove home.
2. Today I took Jude to the doctor to get his ears checked, then I took the kids to Goodwill, then my kids acted in a Microsoft commercial, then we ate lunch at McDonald’s.

Answers:

1. false
2. true

I was supposed to go to Bible study this morning, but since my babysitter couldn’t make it and I wasn’t able to find someone else, I didn’t go. I then decided that getting up five times per night with Jude for the past three nights might indicate that he has another ear infection, so I called and made an appointment for Jude to see the pediatrician late in the morning.

I took all of the kids with me to the appointment. While there, we ran into my sister-in-law and her seven kids. We decided to meet for lunch, but first she had to make a couple of stops and Jude still needed his ears checked. Then we all met up again at Goodwill and she took her kids to be in a Microsoft commercial. (My brother-in-law had arranged for their kids to do this.) My sister-in-law then called me at Goodwill from the place where they were filming the commercial and said they could use some more kids. Would my kids like to be in the Microsoft commercial? I agreed as long as it wouldn’t take too long—it was noon and my kids still hadn’t eaten lunch.

Well, all told it didn’t take very long (about 45 minutes) to film the kids and then we all headed to McDonald’s where we spent the kids' gift certificates that they have been dying to use since they received them for Christmas.

It was quite a day, though not at all the day I had planned. However, despite all the activities mentioned above, we still managed to fit in school work and dinner with Matt’s 95 (soon to be 96) year-old Grandmother. I’m sure we’ll all sleep well tonight (with the exception of Jude and me as Jude does indeed have another ear infection—poor little—umm—BIG guy. Jude now weighs almost 24 lbs!)

The commercial isn’t quite as exciting as it sounds at first blush. We found out that it will just be on Microsoft’s hiring webpage. But the kids still had a great time. Here’s a picture of the crew.
