One of those days!

I thought today was going to be a great day...and it wasnt really bad, it just had a lot of drama in it! I started the day off great! Worked out, read scriptures with Maddelyn, and I even made breakfast for the family. And then the drama jumped right in! As I was cooking breakfast Maddelyn comes in and literally starts yelling at me about the LAUNDRY stacking up in her room. I mean really? She gets sent to her room and I almost have to force her to listen to me. In the back of my mind I am wondering what did I do to deserve this...and trying to keep my cool so that I am not a bully mom like I saw on Dr. Phil! So we get through breakfast...she is still grouchy...I am still grouchy. Finally, I win! She apologizes to me and all is well.

Then Julia wakes up, starts crying over everything. "You threw out the pancakes that I was saving from yesterday!" Note: Yesterday was Monday! That sends her in to a total up roar and then the drama continues. To get her to stop I fed her eggs, bacon (that she decided she didnt want), 2 granola bars, and some vanilla waffers. She said that she needed a big breakfast.

Rush, rush, rush to get ready for a doctors apt. to check out the large bump under Julia's arm. Rush, rush, rush and realize that you husband didnt fill up you tires with air and infomed you that it was very dangerous to drive. Panic, panic, panic! Prayer for safety to get to the doctor safely.

Whew! Made it! So then we waited and found out that her large lump that stayed with her for a month after she got bit by a spider and turned into a staff infection. So now we have to heat it up, give meds, and hope that it pops on its own or else get it popped on monday at the Dr. office. Great! But at least we know what it is...moving on!

Then we drive very carefully to Laura's house so that we can change the oil in my car. This has been planned for months and rescheduled...but hopefully today was the day! Not so much! Her jack didnt work worth jack! So we weeded her garden until it was time to be home for Maddelyn and we would attempt to do it at my house with the jack that I have used before and has worked.

We get to my house...move the garage mess...and start to look for the jack. We look high...we look low...no sign of the jack! Finally we give up all together and weed in my yard. We made plans to work on our lilac bushes, and grocery shop (because we are now dependant on one another to go together), and future plans once again to change my oil (because that needs to be done!) Then it is time for swimming....

Rush, rush, rush....and we are off! We get to the YMCA and all is well. I finally sit down and feel motivated to relax. 40 mins into swim class Maddelyn's teacher calls my name and lets me know that Maddelyn's not feeling well (Oh No! Not again!). I pull her out, and we wait the 5 minutes for Julia's class to end...and then we rush home. Cook dinner quick...eat...watch the family show Survivor...get the kids to bed...ahhhhhh.

Now, hope and pray that Maddelyn is not sick again! Because I cant do that anymore. I have got to reclaim my messy house...and my laundry room again. I dont want to hear "Do I have this this to wear" any more! (upside to hearing that is that I always know the answer...it is NO)

So today wasnt really a bad day...just one that nothing seemed to work out perfect. I had a fun day with Laura. It was nice to be productive and spend time with a good friend. Another good thing that is happening is that I am looking into finishing my AA degree. I am one quarter short and then I think I will be able to transfer to a school out here that does semesters. I think I want to do dental hygenie...if I can find a school around here that offers that. So I have some future plans laid out. And I will make a schedule for me to follow tomorrow so that I can get myself back on track. So not all is bad...just one of those days where you want to crawl back into bed and sleep through it!
