So today Fiona had a dentist appointment. It went great. :) Everyone behaved well and William took a nice nap. The ladies there commented a couple of times on how well behaved all of the kids are and even let Colleen and Eric get something out of the reward drawer even though they didn't have an appointment today. Afterward we went to the library.
I knew I needed to pay fines and also planned on buying a book since we can't seem to find it so we can return it. I owed $5.85 (not bad!) So I got out my debit card and she told me, "We only take cash and checks. We can't take debit cards." What?!? Who doesn't take debit cards? :P So I dig out what cash I have in my wallet and go find what I can in the van. (we don't carry cash on us usually) I came up with $4.45 (crap!) So now I'm standing there with my kids who are all excited about getting their books (Fiona had 11 books ready to check out!) and I'm dreading telling them that they can't get them after all. :( Then the lady starts walking around, looking in drawers and in the back. Turns out she was rounding up money. The library covered the rest of my fines! I was (still am actually) in shock. I was almost in tears over the kindness.
I love our library. :)
