So after the worlds mayhem calmed down mine picked up. What we deemed as a non eventful quiet weekend, turned about to be better than quiet. We all went swimming at the Y on Saturday afternoon, teaching the kids to swim is a great joy I have. Teaching their dad to swim will be the death of me! LOL
After swimming the kids had some friends over and they all took off for their secret fort and were gone for what seemed like hours, we just laid there we the tv's off and listen to the sound of nothing, for all of about 5 minutes. It never lasts longer than that, if it does, something is very wrong. The sound was our youngest Moom Moooooooom OmGosh OmGosh MOoooom can you come up here???? Dashing up stairs I fear I am going to find a dead guinea pig... but no....it's alive and very tiny new born. My daughter exclaims, "MOM... milk laid a baby!!" After laughing on her over exuberance we name the little guy Snickers. What else would you call a baby to Milk and Chocolate? After segregating the male that was female :( from the brood all is balanced again.
Hunter, possibly the kids Best Friend especially Logan's eat dinner with us and ends up spending the night. They watched Skyfall and the boys slept in the living room. Hunter was woken up by a dogs nose on his foot. :) Personally i can think of no better way to wake up on a Sunday morning. He goes to church with us which is about a 45 minute drive ( another story) Hunter tells us that his parents are splitting up and he doesn't know what is going to happen. Bruce and I are touched that he feels comfortable enough with us to share that but saddened at the same time that such a great kid is going through this.
Sunday for lunch I head out to have lunch with some past co-workers of mine and end up staying gone for almost 3 hours. It was so much fun to catch up and spend some time away from the clan. Sunday we wound down and relaxed got the kiddos ready for school on Monday had dinner and went to bed. Completely unaware of the Monday that was waiting.
Monday oooohhh Monday, the kids were NOT ready we ended up having to take them to the bus stop where the bus was pulling up as they got out of the car. Fighting and arguing the whole way. Monday work was standard, Bruce and I were going to meet at the Y instead of going home getting dinner ready running out the door just too much mayhem. So we thought lets avoid this. I will meet you at the Gym and you can go home and change check on the kids. It will give us more time with the kiddos and we can still work out. great idea right? NO wrong LOL Bruce left the house late because he had to transfer the freezer food to the outside freezer because the freezer was broken BLAH. Oh well rush rush he gets stopped b a stopped train. Meanwhile I work out for an hour wondering where he is. I get home Bruuuuuce! its not just the freezer the fridge is dead too!!!I loose it, how can you not know, lets call some places, crap we have no money i just paid taxes and all our bills this was NOT in the budget OMGosh OMGosh.
Breathe Karen......I have a check I have not cashed, cashed it, put down 10% put the rest on a credit card and tada! New fridge will be delievered YAY, the old one hauled away for free YAY!! not until Wednesday Boooo oh well at least we have a freezer to put all the food in All of this to say ya know what. We are blessed it could have been so much worse, but it's good God is good and we are blessed to have God's grace when things get to much remember, give it to God he can do all things!
Here's to an awesome week...Amen
