So totally beyond busy...

Happy Valentine's!
So long to the Kwooza...

It's been a phenomenally busy week thus far! I say thus far, meaning since I asked for my birthday off, (Sunday) I have the illustrious pleasure of working on Saturday too, blech! The kids and I went to Page over the weekend to attend Cara's baby shower (which was super fun BTW...) and since I lost a weekend being gone I have yet to catch back up since! I worked everyday up to today (Hooray for days off! even if it is only one...) and the kids have had multiple activities and things to do besides.
Monday wasn't too bad, aside from taking Drake to school early for Safety Patrol and then coming right home to go with Lee to rescue the PT Cruiser from the shop (where it had been for the better part of 2 weeks) so that it was at home to be viewed by people interested in buying it from KSL and/or Craig's list. I then, went to work until 5 and got home to attempt to find something for dinner and catch up on laundry, ha! =0)Lee and I stayed up late to watch a movie (since I missed him over the weekend) and the day that began at 7am finally ended around midnight, sheesh! =0)
Tuesday I had to work at 10 after taking Adree to school at 8 for choir practice and taking Drake at 8:35 for Safety Patrol and Seth sat in the car until 8:50. *sigh* I worked until just after 4 and got home with the kids only to discover Seth hadn't bothered to do his homework for like 2 weeks! Seth and I sat trying to catch up on it for over an hour, (joy!) while I tried to get another load of laundry done and then made dinner. During the day Lee sold the "Kwooza", Snoopy decals and all, to a couple that had seen it on Craig's list. They had been saving for almost 4 years to get a better car and I hope they enjoy the PT Cruiser, it's fun to drive, just somewhat impractical for our means anymore...Aside from major engine failure, they should be good with it 'cuz like all the parts are new! LOL! =0)
Wednesday I took Adree to school at 8 again for choir practice and Drake to Safety Patrol at 8:35 and again waited with Seth until 8:50 ( I can't let him go any earlier, he tends to get into mischeif...hmmm...). I worked at 10 again and wasn't able to get away from work until after 4 again. I picked up the kids from Daycare and went to Ross and Target to get a present and a card for G'ma Brenda (her b-day was Thurs.). Wow, we didn't get done with that until after 6:30! Of we had to get Valentine's cards and things for the house too...=0) After picking up Wendy's for dinner and stopping at Albertsons on the way home it was well after 7 when we got home for the day. The kids finished their homework I completed another load of laundry, somehow... and put them to bed. Lee worked on the computer for a little while and we sat down to watch TV about 9:30, where I promptly fell asleep! And I stayed that way for about an hour, before I got up, announced I was going to bed and I don't recall anything else until the alarm went off at 7 the next morning!=0)
Thursday...dun, dun. dun!=0) Only had to take Drake early, hooray! =0) I sat in the car with Seth and Adree until 8:50, before booting them out to go home and be ready to be at work at 10. I opted to skip breakfast for the time being so I actually had time to wash my hair, is that bad? =0) Took breakfast with me to work, worked until after 4 and picked up the kids to go home. We got homework done, Valentine's signed and Adree changed and her hair curled all in about an hour to make it to Adree's choir concert at 6! =0) (sorry no pictures...) They sang until just after 7 and Lee and I loaded them up to race across town to get Drake and Adree to their 4H activity/meeting that started at 7!=0) Lee, Seth and I wandered around Walgreen's for 40 minutes and when back to pick up kids and order pizza on to pick up on the way home. Finally at 8:30 last night, you would have found us eating dinner and the kids went to bed at 9. I put the kids to bed and Lee had a bunch of work to do on the computer and I put on pj's and crawled in to bed to watch TV. Lee came and kissed me goodnight at 10:15 and I don't remember anything else until the alarm went off at 7...=0)
As for Friday, my one day off, I will have washed at least 4 loads of laundry by day's end, carted kids home and Adree to an activity. I have to brave Wal-Mart and color my hair today too...*sigh* I should probably clean something too, seeing as though I get to work all day tomorrow. Lee actually said to me the other day, "You only have to work 6 hours and then you're done." What?! done? I'm a working Mom, my day starts at 7 and I lucky if it ends by 10! And time to myself?...does a 10 minute shower count? =0)
