Today was not the greatest. I swear I woke up in a good mood. I had a list of things to get done- bank, in-laws house to fax papers for Brian, and then Costco. I really thought that it would not take that long, home in time for lunch and naps. Silly, silly me. To start off, H decided to move in slow motion. I mean she is always the last one to get ready, to get to the table, to get her shoes on, etc. Today, she was going for the gold! So we ended up leaving about 30 min later than planned. Needless to say, I was a little annoyed. But I used a little yoga breathing, said a prayer, and was good to go. When I got to my in-laws house to fax the papers I thought 5 min tops! I have used this fax many times. So I thought "we could still make it home in time for lunch"! When will I learn? I needed to make a copy of our SS cards so it would be easier to fax. I pressed copy. It said coping page 1 of 1. A few minutes go by...nothing is happening...I am thinking it must be waking up...then it says "Copy Cancelled"! WHAT?! I almost cried right there. Oh, the girls this whole time were screaming and running around playing "My Little Pony". ("I'm Rainbow Dash and you're Flutter Shy." "No! I'm Twilight Sparkle!") So, I turned off the printer and turned it back on, and it worked! I might have threatened it a little...maybe mentioned that scene from "Office Space" the one with the bat. :)
So I had the documents. I had the number. I had the cover sheet. It was a 916 number so I added the 1. The recording came on and said to hang up and try again. So I did, with the one and without the one. Again, nothing was happening! I even called the number from my cell...yep it was a fax number! Then my mother-in-law called and said they might block faxes from home fax machines. Again, "WHAT?!" By this time, it was lunch time. I still had to go to Costco and now I had to go to Office Max! I could feel the tears wanting to come out! I got to Office max, and $14 later (long distant charge $1.75 per page, 8 pages) the papers were faxed. Saw my cousin there too, so that was nice. By that time though, the girls were "starving", and I still had to go to Costco. So we had Costco for lunch. At least it was cheap. I am still amazed that my girls can put away one of those hot dogs. Where does it go?
Got my shopping done with three very cranky girls. (They were poking the bear.) Got home, girls had short naps, fed them dinner and got A to soccer practice with three minutes to spare. After practice I became Drill Sergent Mommy and gave out orders. M and H got into trouble at practice. Poked the bear one too many times. It worked! Their room is clean, baths taken, teeth brushed and all in bed by 8:00. Now if I could just get them to stay in bed.
I did get to talk to Brian! That really helped my mood! It is kind of sad really how excited I get when the phone rings. :) He had 20 minutes tonight! :) He even got to talk to A and H. Who were out of bed, again. (M was sleeping.) He is still doing good. Tomorrow is the first day of PT. It is causing a little stress because no one is telling them what to expect. They don't know where, what to wear, or what they are doing. All they know is they won't like it. Brian said his group is starting PT at 10 am. Friday is the "fun" run. It won't be fun, it will be horrible. From what we heard, very few finish the first "fun" run. For that Brian's group is going at 10 am again. Poor Brian, it is supposed to be HOT the next few days. He said he got yelled at today, but that it wasn't that big of deal. He said, overall, they have been taking it easy on them. Pretty sure that will be ending tomorrow. Brian actually sounded kind of excited, in a "let's just get it going" kind of way. Even so, if you could keep him and his classmates in your prayers, that would be great!
Well tomorrow is Thursday! Thursdays are always busy. I have my growth group tomorrow at the church. I get to have grown up conversation with a group of great ladies. Then it is off to my Mom's for a quick lunch and dropping off the girls. Then I have my volunteer shift at the Pregnancy Center. Were I get to work with and for some pretty awesome people. I am pretty sure I will be bringing home our newest family member, a kitten! (Our cat Kitty is blind, so I told Brian this kitten will be her seeing eye cat. :)) After the PHC, it is home for dinner, which I am thinking baked potatoes. Get the girls in bed. And then my BFF is coming over to watch "Willow" with me!
So tomorrow will be a good day! :)
Blessings,
