It's okay, you can say it, I have been a big fat loser on keeping up with my blog this week! I could make a million excuses for why I haven't been keeping up this week but you wouldn't believe me anyway.....
I left off on Monday and I guess I will try and recap what has been going on since then. Tuesday I got up early to get Bella in and then went back to bed as I do every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. When I got up my little ones were all ready manipulating the television. Honestly, I am just not even sure why I pay for cable other than to keep the children and my husband entertained and out of my hair. It's not like I get any enjoyment from it. I can't even tell you when I had the time or enough quiet to plop my astronaut on the couch and watch even one show in it's entirety without interuption. It just isn't happening for for me for at least another 15 years. By then I am sure I will be married to the Captain without a clue as to how to work a television.
Tuesday, Tuesday, I loaded the kids up to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a new pillow for Scott. He claimed his pillow was too flat. Natalie and her kids ended up coming along for the ride. What a ride it was! There is nothing like a car ride with five kids all five and under! I am not sure why the car industry has not tried to market a vehichle geared towards parents. By this I am refering to a great feature you will find in any limo out there - a dividing window! HELLO TOYOTA? You market your minivan as the "swagger wagon" to try and trick parents into thinking its cool to drive a minivan. I'm hear to tell you it's never cool to drive a minivan! Now, I give them credit for having some hysterical advertising ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql-N3F1FhW4 ) but come on!! What we parents want is silence. I say market a vehicle that has a dividing window, velcro straps to make sure they can't escape the seatbelts, a device that can hold duct tape if you need to tape their mouths shut if the diving window feature were to fail and some kind of contraption that would automatically clean up their messes on the floor. This is what parents want!!!!! Can I get an AMEN???????
I get Scott's new pillow and gave it to him when he got home from K9 training. He was excited about his new pillow as he should be because it wasn't cheap. We are a bit spoiled int he pillow department here. I can't have just any pillow, I have to have a Sealy Indulgence side sleeper pillow. I only buy them when I have a coupon but I think if I was desperate I would pay full price. As it turned out, my coupon was expired but luckily Natalie had one. So Scott slept on his pillow that night and I asked him how it was the next morning. His response, "It was too fluffy. It needs broke in!" Nice. lol
Wednesday I took Olivia school clothes shopping. She is so much easier to shop with than the older girls. We got her a couple new dreses because the 47 dresses she all ready has hanging in her closet are apparently not enough to start school with. She also got a new pair of dress shoes. Nothing much else to report on Wednesday.
Thursday was a little more interesting. I was hoping to get to sleep in but that didn't work out since for some reason I woke right up all by myself at 9am. I guess that's kinda sleeping in but when I think of sleeping in, I think 11 or 12 but whatever. I finally got a little bit of energy and got the house straightened up. I am not sure why I even bother though because my kids are like tornados and just ruin all of hard with their toys and such.
The girls' and I had hair appointments at 3 o'clock so we headed over to the hair place around 2:30pm. I am not really sure what I was thinking but I decided to go blonde at this visit. In my mind I was thinking it would be a medium blonde but it ended up being almost white blonde. I am not necessarily hating it but it is a shock to me. I am now going to have to wear make-up to balance it out. I am not against make-up, I just don't have the time or energy to put it on everyday. My only other choice is to nix the make-up idea and stay inside and I don't forsee that happening. Natalie went along too. She got a beachwave perm. Her hair looks great! They use these square rollers for the perming process. I took a picture but Natalie said I can't post it...hmmmpf! What's the fun in that? But out of respect, I'm not going to do it.
After the hair shocking appointment we went to JcPenny's to get a new mattress pad and sheet set for Olivia's bed. Olivia peed the bed and even though I washed the stuff in hot water over and over again, I couldn't get the stain or the smell out of them. TRASH!
Then we went to Cracker Barrell to eat dinner. Let me just tell you this if the world had come to an end right then and there and the only people left were those of us in that resteraunt, the world would never have been repopulated! Not by me or Natalie anyway. I have never in my life seen so many ugly people in one place before, ever! I will refrain from describing them because it would just be plain mean. All you need to know is that they were all scarey ugly and something like a scene from Deliverance. Of course Deliverance seems to be a theme for us when we go places together.
Michelle, Natalie and I went out for a couple of drinks last night in an effort to release some frustrations. It worked well enough but we are going to try again tonight. My cousin's band is playing so it should be a good time. Tomorrow the girls' come home from camp and things should liven back up around here....All hail the slaves! (At least this is what they claim they are to me!)
Sincerely,
The big fat loser who truly is the Queen of Insanity
