When it Rains it Pours

Yesterday, I was commenting to my mother in law how I wish I could just catch a break. It's been one thing after another. I know their are ups and down and I was wishing for a few ups instead of so many downs.
So after attending a cheer meeting to discuss fundraising and everyone having opinions and no one making decisions I was exhausted and ready to head home after a very long day. Low and behold I go to my car and Michael has run out the battery listening to music while I was in my meeting. Okay, no big deal I find a friend and some jumper cables (remember it was freezing out too) so we are cold and we cannot find the latch to open my hood. Its dark and I am getting frustrated. So we finally find the latch (thank goodness for friends with flashlights) and I get out and we hook up the cables and I go to turn on my car and I have locked my keys in the car! I was laughing so hard - I could not believe it! Its 7:30pm the kids are starving and we are stranded! (Sean is still in Arizona looking for job opportunities - yeah I know it the worst city to be in the building business in but what do I know) - anyways.... The gym feeds my kids cup a soup and my sister rescues us and brings the kids home and I go back to jump the car again. After an important errand I finally get home and crash.

With the snow this morning and cramming in extra studying with the boys I run into work (well crawl - it was snowing) and I have been running full force ever since (did I mention Emily has fifths disease and Michael can barely speak his throat is so swollen and I am waiting for the return call from the middle school vice principal again...). Needless to say the house actually looks like a tornado has been through it. I am not exaggerating - that whole OCD thing is way out the door. Its gross, the dishes are over flowing (Zach finally had enough and did those - thank you) laundry is piling up and you can barely walk through my kitchen and family room.

The upstairs is a whole other story. Andrew has been coloring with permanent pens everywhere and somehow the bonus room toys have ended up on the roof - yes the roof. Emily and Andrew have also created a "store" to sell things in the hallway.

So what I am doing - updating my blog. Sean comes in tomorrow late (hopefully) and I have the day off....

Glad I am not PMSing and I can just laugh at this so called life. Ugh!
