Typical Tuesday . . .

I hope you can see what this is. I know what it is suppose to be. But none the less, I'm scared that you are not going to see what I see. Seriously, this is when I always feel like an amateur!


This is actually for someone that isn't expecting it - I'm not going to say who, because I don't want her to see it. Now, if she happens on it - that is one thing! But I'm not going to link her name. I'm not going to say her name at all. I know how she works. She has all kinds of google alerts attached to her name and she would find me! I know she doesn't look at my blog daily - so I'm sure I'm safe for a few days {by then she will have gotten it! So - who cares?}


I'm sure most of you can figure out who it goes to - somewhat obvious! I owe her big {much bigger than a 4x6!} At Blissdom, I was attached to her like glue! She is the only person I knew {well, except her sister! Which I guess I owe her a little something, too!} I've got a real issue with being in a crowd and not knowing anyone . . . . {that will give you an insight as to why I wanted so many kids! The whole "never-alone" theory!} I know, stupid and I probably need therapy - but it is a REAL issue. But only applies to crowds such as Blissdom. I'm great one on one. I'm great once I did it once. But the first time + Big crowd = Anxiety. So, thankfully she was there. I even {rudely} sat in on her meeting with Melissa and Simple Mom - they had no idea that my heart was pounding so hard out of my chest because I was so afraid they were going to ask me to leave. I tried my hardest not to listen and for the most part . . . I didn't - I swear! And thankfully they didn't ask me to leave. To be honest, I probably would have gotten up and left. That's right - I would have come home. I know, crazy - but it is what it is! Maybe I could sit in on some of Hudson and Lawson's occupational therapy. haha.

Anyhoodle - hopefully she will get and love it! I'll keep you updated!

And for some humor . . . . Here was my schedule today {and most days for that matter?!}

*Woke up before the kids and showered, dressed {including shoes} and started breakfast.

*Out the door to have Carson and Lawson {my 2 year olds} at Mom's Day Out.

*Have just enough time to make it to Hudson's {my 3 year old} 1 hour occupational therapy appointment. While in the waiting room, I try to answer emails and write "Thank-yous" {"Try" is the key word} all while holding Emsley {my 11 month old} off the computer. Then realizing my water bill is late. Oh.crap!



*Run to "Old MacDonalds" for Hud and Em some lunch {that will be eaten in the van} . . .

* . . . . while on the way to Hudson's preschool.

*Pull up just in time to get my "big hug" and reminder "I'll see you in 3 hours?!" as Hudson jumps out and runs to his teacher.

*Race back across town for my hair appointment {because we all know I'm obsessed with my "do"} - I was a few minutes early and lucky for me, her appointment before me was a no show! Em was stripped down to a diaper, sat in her booster seat and ate a sucker the entire time I got the "do" done.

*Clean Em up, pay for the cut, make next appointment, pack up van and skooch as quickly as I can to pick up Lawson and Carson from MDO.

*Made it just in time. Takes 25 minutes to go in, collect all their stuff, come out and load them up!

*Back across town to Hudson's school {because 3 hours is almost up!} as 3 kids sleep in the van!

*Once in the parking lot and with 10 minutes to spare , I answer a few more emails {somewhat rushed with those - I hope they made sense?} See Hudson come out - run and get him.

*Go home for a snack and juice {for the kids} - I'm still feeling my "Old MacDonalds" 99 cent cheeseburger. While they eat, I package up 2 paintings {ready for FedEx!}

*Load everyone back up - straight to FedEx! {Anyone expecting a classic collection - they will be going out tomorrow!}

*Needed groceries in a BAD way! That's right people - took all 4 kids up into Kroger! I was that desperate for food. I drove around the lot for about 7 and a half minutes looking for the buggy with the car on it. No such luck. I load 3 kids into a regular cart - Hudson walked. Hudson prays {loudly} "Oh Lord, why do you not give me a buggy with a red car attached to the front?" I told him to stop asking God "why" . . . . "because you would be asking him 'why' 800 million times a day for.the.rest.of.your.life!" We get into the store and what do we see?? What do we see?? We see a freakin' buggy with a RED CAR - that is what we see! Not a green car. Not a blue car. But a stinkin' red car. And I busted out laughing when I heard Hudson say, "Thank you Lord." haha - Amazingly I still bought $148 in groceries. Yes, I had that many groceries and all 4 kids in the buggy - the question . . . . . how in the heck did I push that joker??

*Got home just in time for Lonnie to call and say he is on the way to the Homeowner's Association Meeting {meaning - I unload groceries, put away groceries and cook supper - ON MY OWN!} Nice.

*Did.all.that. Supper is spaghetti - what was I thinking?? Easy to cook - yes. The worst to clean up - yes! But, I.did.all.that.too!

I'm really working on the table manners - no decent man is going to want to marry her if she continues this mess up!

Hudson was measuring the table - not kidding.

Carson, man what is up with the feet?

Notice all my kids are naked? That was planned!

*Got all 4 kids in the tub. Lonnie comes home. I bath each {to include teeth brushing} - he dresses each.

*Kids = read stories, sing songs, prayer, asleep {thank you!}

*Watched the last few minutes of the President. Blogging. Soon painting.

yes, it was a successful day - what did you do?
