CRAZINESS

By
This post is really not that exciting, it is really one more for the books than anything else.  I don't know why, but it always seems like I am not busy at all until this one random week and then EVERYTHING we could possibly do is crammed into that one week.  Does that happen to anyone else.  I have something going on literally every.single.day for the next 10 days.  Let me demonstrate:

Wednesday 19 - Music Time, clean like a crazy lady, get free doughnuts at Krispy Kreme dressed as pirates & $1 Jamba Juice for dinner, drop kids off, pick up girls and go to YWs

Thursday 20 - Drop Em off for playdate, Drop P off for preschool, jet to dentist, jet back to pick up kids, hurry over to the library for Toddler Tumble Time (a free class we signed up for, today was the first day & the kids loved it!), home lunch attempt naps, dinner, prep for babysitter, meet hubs in the city for a work farewell party (one of his best work friends just got a new job so they are sending him off with a party).

Friday 21 - Host a House Party for Fisher-Price, get bike for Tri

Saturday 22 - Do the See Jane Triathlon, jet home to get ready for a wedding, drop kids off and go to wedding

Sunday 23 - Teach lesson for YW, dinner with the Fam.

Monday 24 - Host Preschool, FHE

Tuesday 25 - Library for story time, more cleaning, host book club

Wednesday 26 - Music Time & YWs (this is the only normal day out of the 10) and I have a photobook due this day as well.

Thursday 27 - Host preschool, go to Free Drive-in Movie

Friday 28 - GO SEE PENTATONIX!!!!

Saturday 29 - Attend the RS Broadcast

Sunday 30 - Speak in church

ok.... so all typed up it doesn't seem too bad, but lets add onto these things the fact that:

  • The hubs has been working about 15-17 hr days this week and it sounds like it is going to be the same next.
  • I have not prepared for my Tri and am scared for the soreness that is going to follow
  • I have not prepared my preschool lessons
  • I have not prepared FHE
  • I have not read the book for book club
  • I have not prepared my lesson for YWs
  • I have not prepared my talk
  • I still have 2 children to care for, love and entertain (completely on my own for these two weeks) 
I'm still not quite sure how it is all going to get done, nor to the level of perfection that I would like but as I seem to hear EVERYONE say these days... it is what it is.  And I will do my best!  And the thing is, I am literally excited for every single thing we have to do.  I am looking forward to each of them, they just all happen to fall right at the same time. 

I'll let you know how it goes when it is all over.  But I wouldn't expect to hear from me before then.

p.s. Em pretty much potty trained herself this week, but I'll leave that for another post.  :)

That's a lot! But doesn't it feel better to get it all written out on a list? That always helps me. Otherwise I just have all these self reminders floating around my head and it gets overwhelming. And the good thing is, you only have to do one day/ one thing at a time. You can do it because you're a Supermom. It's what you do :)

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
