Over at Random Commands, I updated for Jon. I was tired of seeing the same post up. So I fixerated it. 😀 (waving – Hi Honey!!) Happy Wedding Day Colin and Sarah!! Wish we could be there! Congratulations!!
Last night I was alll by myself. L & B were at a “Movie Star” sleepover/ B-D Party, D was at his friends house playing Star Wars II on X-box and playing Yughi-o, and MJ was at a friends house for a toddler sleepover. All this so I could go and scrapbook while Jon is out of town. Usually he has the kiddos and I stay out as long as I want and I don’t have to worry about the dog or the kids. He falls asleep and then I sleep in cuz I stayed out late. It’s the life isn’t it?? I even got one whole layout done and all 6 letters I needed to make for the Children’s Choir performance tomorrow night. I cut out the letters, P R A I S E out of foamcore in different colors and then outlined and embellished them with glitter glue. They turned out so cute! I’ll have to take a picture of my layout with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill..very cute…if I do say so myself. 🙂
So in order to have a similar scrapbook night this month, I farmed out my youngins excluding the dog. I came home at 8:45pm and let her out and loved on her for a bit and then left to get going on my pages. I came home about 3:30 or so and let her out again and then she hopped on the couch for some soft pillow time. I was done decompressing (hey dont think its all talking, chocolate, and gigglesnorting going on at Scrapbook night, we use some serious brain power planning pages and laughing until your sides ache) I put her back in her crate.
About 7:30 rolls around and she starts whining and making noise. This is the same time she wants to get out during the week, so she would already be out and fed by then. I had only been alseep for about 3 hours, not exactly the time I wanted to get up. 8:30 the phone rings and I shoot up out of bed and stumble for my purse to find my cell phone. Can’t find it. Caller calls back immediately. I think its one of the girls with an immediate need. Nope, it’s my friend who took MJ. She wanted to know what time to drop him off again. I say 10am, which by now seems soo far away and I have more time to sleep. She thought it was at 9am, so she wanted to make sure. Oy. I let the dog out because by now she is flipping out and howling to get out. Drama much? So I let her out, put her outside, shut the door, walked back to my bed, and flopped down to get another hours worth of sleep. Lets just say she wasn’t too happy with me. Oh well. A dogs life can be ruff. Ha.
I am up in time, I pick up the girls on time and make it to church to pick up the boys. I exchange children with Bobby and head inside. When I am done helping out with rehearsal, we get ready to head out to the parking lot. I look across the lot and see that the driver side window is left open on our van. Huh?! I didn’t realy do that, did I? Oh yes I did! I was talking to Bobby before we pulled into the parking spaces and rolled down my window. On a normal day, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. But today, the sky opened up and poured out a rain we haven’t seen in a loooong time. Complete with sideways windy rain that found its way onto my leather drivers seat and the whole inside of the door panel, including the buttons that make the locks work, the windows go up and down, and the side view mirrors to move around. Luckily everything still works, but I had to run into church and grab some towels to dry my seat off so I could drive.
Five hours of sleep, 4 kids, 1 wet seat, 1 wet door, a birthday party to go to, and a dog who has barely seen us. This is going to be an interesting weekend. Only 21 more hours until Jon gets home. I think I can…I think I can.. I think I can…. sunday school 9:30am -see kids at 10:30 am- sit quietly until Noon – eat lunch – nap at 1pm. Yeah I can handle it. 😀
