♡ Stuff & more stuff...

Saturday after our not so fun ending shopping trip the kids slept until about 4:30 which was really nice! So instead of being able to go to my friend's child's baptism (that was a mouthful) I watched No Reservations. There was no way on earth I was going to wake those crazy kids and Joe was sleeping. Usually Joe comes home and stays up for a little bit to wind down but yesterday he stayed up longer so that Emma could make me breakfast "in bed"... Waffles with syrup. I decided to just go to the table. :) I hate GRAVEYARD!!! The kids are noisy all day I don't know how he can sleep through it. Although I have to say I'm over trying to keep them quiet. I can't do it and it's just frustrating and turns me into a horrible mean mom. So I send them outside or down stairs but other than that there's not much else I can do.

I loved the movie. It was PG and just a "good and clean" all the way around. Then the kids woke up and we watched Alvin & The Chipmunks. The kids LOVED it. This is a video of Olivia dancing around to their music! She was so cute.

Sunday morning started out alright and I got all the kids bathed and hair done. Joe was sleeping. He's been working graveyard. I'm so glad that it's almost OVER! So I got to deal with the kids and they were definitely on one all morning... Here's Olivia before she turned into a little phsyco...

I tried doing THIS hair do and I suck. Couldn't figure out how to do it. AT ALL!!! So I went with this instead! She was actually really good. I didn't even have to hold her down!

Now with the dress on...

Eliza's hair... She's the trickiest one. Her hair is so thin and short it's hard to do.

Then the day took a turn for the worst and all hell broke loose. Olivia found a permanent marker! She colored all over herself and Lanes bedroom wall.

Her right arm that looks like there isn't any marker... I already scrubbed that off. It came off okay but do you see how red her arm is. Her legs didn't come off as well. Not sure why. Baby wipes work pretty good on skin!

Then Lane decided to take some pictures... Not to big of a deal... It's not like I can't just delete them... I don't know why he wanted to take pictures of the TV but whatever. He took about 20 pictures okay maybe it was more like 10 or 15...

This is where I start to rant so if you don't want to hear anything negative just stop here! Lane comes running out while I'm putting my makeup on and says that Olivia is spilling oil. WHAT where the crap did she get oil. Somehow they grabbed it from out of the cupboard. I thought I was okay and she really didn't spill it. The cap was on and I couldn't see any messes. So I took it away and put it up even higher. Finished my make up and then went to find another dress for Olivia. I sat down on Lanes bed to grab out a dress and put my hand down next to me and I found the oil. Luckily Lane has a plastic sheet under his regular one so it didn't get all over the mattress and thank heavens I didn't sit in it. BECAUSE I think the tiny, itty bitty, little, rather tiny, small sting that was holding me together didn't BREAK!!! You don't even want to know what my kitchen table looked like... Seriously spilled milk, sugar, cereal and water and who knows what else! Lane now knows how to unlock the fridge. Eliza & Olivia haven't figured it out yet but I'm sure that will come soon enough. Olivia peed the bed and Eliza too! LOVELY! Screaming, fighting, temper tantrums, going crazy, yelling and everything else that you can think of... Kids going physco and me wanting too. The day from HELL... Usually mother's day is a good day for me. However this year everything SUCKED. Brother Flowers cracks me up and when we got to church I was sternly telling Eliza to get her butt in the chapel right now. When he shook my hand and asked if I was ready for some straight jackets and Valium! YES PLEASE!!! I almost burst into tears! NO KIDDING!!! Other people would talk to me and again I'd be lucky to walk away without bursting into tears. So if you talked to me yesterday and I didn't say much it was just because the tiny little string was still just barely there. I had to play the opening hymn in Relief Society and I seriously haven't played the piano for 4 years. I played in primary while I was pregnant with the twins and was doing alright with it. I haven't practiced since I've had the twins. I don't even have a piano in my house. So I'm playing Hymn 2 The Spirit of God and I SUCK! I screw up several times and I'm not playing it fast enough (I think) and we do 2 verses and then the conductor goes ahead and stops it right there. Probably trying to spare me and everyone else from my crappy playing. But seriously a couple weeks before they had me do it then too and they all know I SUCK so really don't ask me if you don't REALLY want me to play! So just another thing to add to my cruddy day... I tried really hard all through church not to dwell on it I really did. It helped keep me together a little bit longer but then some one would say something touching and normally I don't cry at all... I've gotten really good at it... I can't even tell you how many times I had to suck it up yesterday. BLECH! I just wanted to go hide. I thought about just leaving and coming home but then I'd have to get the Honda keys from Joe and give him my keys and I didn't think I could deal with talking to him cause then I'd really loose it. So I sucked it up and fought my way through it all and came home and was tempted to hide in my room. Not that it would have worked because I can HEAR everything going on... So instead I started cleaning up the mess from the morning and then we got kids to bed and they were OUT in less than 5 minutes. I went to bed at 8:00. I woke up at 3 am... Thought about getting up but turned over and went back to bed. Woke up again at 5am... And then just layed there until 6 and got up. I feel so much better... Which is crazy... Yesterday I thought I was just going to fall apart and today I'm fine... What's WRONG with me! Joe says I'm pregnant but I'm not! Seriously!!! NOT! But I have days like yesterday when I'm pregnant. I just about bit someones head off when I was pregnant with Emma just because the guy wanted me to change the date on a check I wrote at Costco... I put the wrong date... That was it... Oh yeah and I think I'm going to have to email our Doctor cause Eliza's mood swings are DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! I wonder if her meds aren't off or something???
