My Day

Nothing exciting has happened this week so I'm just going to write about my day today and you can be the judge of how exciting my life is... or isn't!

Got up at 6:30, made oatmeal and lunches for the kids. Yelled at the kids over and over to get ready. By 7:30 all the kids were gone to school so I cleaned up the kitchen, put in a load of laundry and laid on the couch to watch some of my shows I recorded on the DVR (See Melissa? Tivo and DVR are amazing!). Fell asleep for about a half hour because I had been up way too late the night before doing my 25 random things about me on Facebook that I now regret doing. Got to Krazy Sub at 10:00, made a delivery at 10:45 then went to work at the other Krazy Sub. Helped a bunch of customers, sliced a bunch of meat and cheese, made some tuna salad, made another delivery, helped some more customers.........etc. etc. etc. Got home late today (5:30). Fed the kids Krazy Sub because Brent was working late at the other store so I didn't feel the need to make dinner. Cleaned up, homework with the kids, a little computer time, then, and this is finally the exciting part of the day, hold onto your seats:

I noticed at 6:45 that my girls were in dresses and asked Sarah why in the world she was in a dress to go to mutual. She gave me a weird look and told me that it's New Beginnings tonight. I was sitting in my dirty, smelly Krazy Sub shirt with greasy hair in a pony tail and I smelled like pickles and onions. The girls were supposed to be there early to practice a song that they sang literally two lines in (so glad they had practices for that!) (No offense Val, if you read this, you should have just done a solo though because you were awesome by yourself!). Anyhoo, on with the awesome story... We got there just as they started so they didn't get to practice (sorry about that Val if you ever read this. Again, you really should have just sang/sung a solo.) My hair was still in a greasy pony tail, and I still smelled like pickles and onions but I did have a skirt and sweater on so there was a little improvement. It was a nice evening. They showed a video of all of the girls talking about who their examples are. Sarah chose Grandma Arnett and Rebecca chose Grandma Willis. Both amazing women who I look up to too so I think they made great choices. I wasn't at all upset that I was one of the only mom's not chosen as a great example to their children. No, not at all.

What I learned today: mark things on my calendar, take a shower as soon as I get home from work, Nate's basketball practice is on Thursdays, not Wednesdays, and the Osmond boy on American Idol was awesome.

Glad I was able to catch up. That project looked like alot of time went into it. You have an amazing family. I agree the Osmend boy was good on American Idol.

That is too funny. Hey, at least you don't work in a Mexican food restaurant so you could smell like tacos,chips and salsa. It may be good to eat, but not too good to smell all the time. Atleast you made it there on time. I'm impressed!

I am exhausted just reading about your day. I think you are the only person I know who is as busy as me (maybe busier). You know what is so cool about you is that knowing you weren't at your best you still got up, got dressed, and got those girls to New Beginnings! That makes you a pretty wonderful mom. Also, sorry you regretted your 25 things list because I enjoyed knowing more about you so much! :>
