Ever have one of those days?
Yesterday morning as I was attempting to dress for work, I came to the horrifying realization that I actually had nothing to wear... I haven't done laundry in.. uh.. forever and a half... leaving me with that one pair of crumpled panties in the back corner of your underware drawer... You know the ones, the ones that you pull out, think *gee, these are cute, wonder why they are shoved clear back in the corner of my drawer* So, like an unsuspecting victim of a horror film, you walk outside to find the noise, I mean you decide to wear the panties, instead of... what do girls call it when they go with out panties? We don't exactaly "freeball" it... Anyways, you get my drift...
Then the LAST pair of dress pant you own are hanging there, laughing because they know you are about to be forced to wear them. Why is this so bad? These are the pants that Preteen A put in the dryer, shrunk up, and now I roll up to create the illusion of cuffed capris. Not that I think I am fooling anyone... which is why they were the last pair of pants hanging there.
So as it is pouring down rain, I throw on my heals and run off to work.
About an hour after I arrive, I realize the errors of my ways... The reason the panties are clear in the back of the drawer... NO ELASTIC! Every step I take, every move it make, they are falling down around my hips, which is leaving the oddest bunched up ring around my body. Oh and lucky me, guess what else, the zipper of my pants seems to be faulty and has a new phobia of heights! Yes, I was in a constant XYZ situation ALL DAY!
But, I have a moment of light... I have to go to the store to get water, and tape for work. While I am in there, I am gonna buy a pair of panties and little sock peds to wear with my heels, as my feet are freezing!
I bought the wrong size panties, in a thong, and the socks were too big.
I COULD NOT WAIT to get home and strip! My nightgowns was on at 6:15pm
Going through the ups and downs of everyday life and trying to find the joy and humor in all of it.

Once a cheerleader always a cheerleader...
Yesterday we were in the car going out to buy halloween costumes... I asked preteen A use her phone to find the halloween store "Spirit"
Preteen A: Mom, how do you spell spirit?
Me: S-P-I-R-I-T *clap clap*
Preteen A: Wait, what? How do you spell it?
Me: S-P-I-R-I-T *clap clap*
Hubby: Stop cheering....
Preteen A: Mom, how do you spell spirit?
Me: S-P-I-R-I-T *clap clap*

Busted
So, I recently found out that my daughter had a secret facebook account...
She called herself "Billy" based on a character in her favorite book....
Her "About me" said... "Aren't I SO smart, I'm not allowed to have a facebook account so I made one up. My mom doesn't know about it, I'm so kewl"
So I started randomly calling her "billy" it would make her jump a little, but no confession and she kept posting on her fb account...
One day, I had had it and sent her a friend request that said "busted" in the message... She grounded, we were the worst parents ever... blah blah blah... but the bust part?
The best part was this on her fb wall:
Taylor(her bff)-Yea so smart, just like when she walked by and said Hey Billy, hahahahaa
Billy(my daughter) - ik :(
That was funny...

Dr appts...
Today is Dr Appt day... Preteen A has to get anouther round of vaccines, no biggie.
Little P however is another story... My sweet Little P has had bowel problems since she was born... It has been a LONG frustrating journey, and I wish I could say I feel hopeful, and maybe I do, a little... but history tells me not to get too excited. I will spare you details since most of you are reading this during your morning coffee, but I did write about out plight a few years ago here. Well since then, she's been tested for diabeties at least once more to come back negative, I was asked to read a book called "Sugar Busters" which I have, and changed about 75% of our eating habits... Nothing has changed.
When I try to discuss the problem with a peditrician... they assume I have her on a McD's/BK diet. Reality is we eat fast food maybe once every couple weeks.
Or they will yell at me to "give her some fresh vegatables!" before they ever thought to ask about her current diet.
What's different about today??? We are going to a Pediatric Gastroenterolgist. So a little prayer that they may do more than make assumptions and discard us.

what a week so far...
Monday, had to cater and do a huge presestation to about 20 people... and then we completely tore down the office aquarium. Then Little P had her "crossing over"ceremony from a Junior Girl Scout, to a Cadet.
Tuesday, At 7am (5 minutes before I leave the house) I realized that I never washed the cleaning ladys rags and towels. Yes, I know it's odd, but one of my assumed duties... In my feeble attempt to wash them, then throw them in the dryer, drop the kids off at thier schools, then swing back around to get the dried towels... well they weren't dry at all and the ONLY thing i accomplished was being late for work. That day was crazy, only to rush home to go straight to PTO fall festival planning meeting...
Today, I am driving hubby's truck because I am buying 2 more hens today... Which means I need to get ready, get a container for food and water, grab some straw... Stop by a friends to borrow a dog crate... and I have NO obligation after work!!!!!
ps. Hubby found the battery charger for the camera... which means pictures for you!

Mondays...
Well, I had to work this weekend, another open house... That is quickly losing it's charm...
I didn't allocate much blog time this morning, actually I didn't allocate any at all, (I'm at work)
So all I have time to say is "Good morning, may your Monday not suck"
Til Later...
