KMART BABY!

So I got a JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I said a job. I honestly don't WANT to work because of school, church and my family. But we need the money.

hired me. I am so stoked. I will be working from 6 pm at night to 10 pm. When the hours extend, so will mine. Unfortunately, I do have to work 2 Sundays a month in November and December. Those dang holidays.

Julia Long will be watching Kane and Wyatt from 5:30 to 7:30, when CC gets home. I wont work on Wednesdays and after the holidays no Sundays too.

So now I am off to bed, I have to pee in a VERY large cup tomorrow. Then on Wednesday I will find out my hours.

Ok. So I get home with Kane and Elva forgot to put my hot pocket in the oven. I have no microwave so that is the only way it can be. I wanted to get to the church at 4. Its ten to 4 (still no shower and I am not dressed). I still have to set up the prizes, get the kids ready and do Elva's hair. I was spazing. I get dressed, STILL HAVEN'T EATEN, get everything ready to leave, call my mom to meet me at the church (since she was picking up the boys) and get ready to leave.

I get to the church at 5:00. I am running around trying to get all of the last minute things done and then the rest of the night just flew by. We had a chili cookoff (which I only got ONE bowl), games for the kids and even a trunk or treat. We then gave out prizes. Then, cleaning took place. Elva took my kids home (oh yeah, my mom brought them back to the party) and CC and I cleaned up with help from a lot of members. I got home, threw off my costume and CRASHED! I was so glad my kids were asleep.

CC let me sleep in the next day. I slept 11 hours that night.

Oh how wonderful it is.

I wake up at 7 am.....KEEP hitting snooze (because I SUCK at waking up on time) and I finally get up to get going at 8 am. Now remember, I wanted to get to the church at 7. Yeah. Didn't happen.

My mom couldn't watch Wyatt, so I didn't want to call Ginny at 8 in the morning so I just brought him with. He was fine, he had no problems. I got to the church, I had a ton of stuff to take in. I took him into the gym and played with him for a few minutes. He would stand under the basketball hoop and say, "basketballball" then "throw" the ball up in the air. Then he would say "OHHHHHHH" and run after the ball, catch it and drop with it. I think he was adding his football moves in there.

I went to the nursery and he followed. I went to the Primary room and he followed. Now, both of those are on the same side of the building. Then I went to the Relief Society room. Not on the same side. I was over there for maybe 5 minutes. I start coming back to the gym and I hear my baby crying, "MAMA....MAMA.....MAMA" with real tears. I say, "Wy, I'm right here, I didn't leave you" He follows my voice and RUNS at me with his basketball in his hands. He dropped it at my feet and said "Uuuup". Of course since I just scarred him for life, I have to oblige. :D

Tricia and Chelsea (along with Izzy and Maddie) came to help me set up the tables. We got all the tables set up in a cool almost O shape, the tablecloths on, the food table set up sans food and chairs up.

Its now 11:45. We all leave. I meet Elva at my house, I am going to shower, eat and do her hair then go to Kane's school. I volunteered to bring a game for the kids to play at the school for the Halloween party. I was supposed to be at Kane's school by 12:40.

I get there and Elva tells me that she has to go back home for the kids diaper bags (our niece and nephew she watches) and her clothes. I tell her I have to go to Walgreens for hair spray. I offer to take Martin (since he's in a car seat) and she can take Ana (because she does nothing but scream all the time). I go, get everyone a pop and a hot pocket. Yummm. Healthy lunch huh?

I leave, my keys fell in the van, Wyatt was SUPPOSED to go to his chair. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOO. He goes to the drivers seat AND LOCKS THE DOORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGSH!

What the hell am I supposed to do now?!?!?!?!?!

I begged, I prayed, I bribed, I yelled, I threatened. I got NOTHING.

For 20 minutes I banged on the windows and tried to manipulate a 2 year old who is telling me NO. FINALLY, I tell him to look at the mirror on top. I point to it on the windshield. There are buttons to open the doors by the mirror. I then say, "Push the buttons Papa!" and he DID IT!

He pushed the button that opened the back driver side door. I reach in, unlock the front door, grab him and tell him how lucky he is that I love him!

I get home and Elva is not there. BNFJKBEDfjkbkdsbfasbdfdsabgisbgfiDBfJBSKBfkdsbfs

It is now, 12:50. Lunch is almost over for Kane, so I missed lunch. The Halloween party starts at 1:30 and I wanted to be there way before then. I can't take a shower because I have Wyatt AND Martin. She calls me and says, I am here getting Elias, I should be there in a few minutes. Now had I NOT had Martin, I could have taken a shower and told Elva to meet me at the school.

Wyatt was real fussy, so I put him down for a nap. Of course without lunch.

Elva gets home, I had just finished changing. I have enough time to grab the games and leave. Still nothing to eat. No breakfast, oh wait. I had 3 Nilla Waffers. SO I go to Kane's school, go with him to a video....that was....not very festive and fun. We played games. By now, my feet are KILLING me!!!!

But I just realized it is midnight. CRAP!

I get baby Leah tomorrow at 7 am!

YIKES!

I gotta go to bed.

Goodnight!

I guess this is a 3 part series?!?!?!

48 hours of pure hecticness part 1

It all started on Thursday. CC and I were in charge of the Branch Halloween Party. It actually started 6 weeks ago. We got the calling...then we sat on it. It wasn't the best thing to do...but I procrastinate.

Anyways...

On Thursday, I had the list of Halloween items I needed to get for the party. I have no problem having other people help me out and buying things for the party, but I think it's much easier when one person gets everything. So I spent from 11 pm to 3 pm shopping. Came home, put Wy down for a much needed nap, left Elva here and went to get Kane.

I go to Ginny's house to leave her the skeleton templates so she can cut them all out (I AM SO SORRY!) and I get a call from Elva. HYSTERICAL! The people that gave us the dog were pushing into our house to get her back. SUPPOSEDLY the check wasn't good. Now, I know the bank had funds in it. I KNEW IT DID. I told Elva to lock the door and if he tries to get in again, call 911.

I call the wife and I say whats going on? She said "YOU STOLE MY PUPPY! YOUR A THIEVING %&@r@ AND I AM CALLING THE POLICE AND YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL!" Now remember, Kane is in my vehicle. So he hears everything that is going on.

I am trying SO hard to talk to her without losing my temper. I am cranky from 4 hours of shopping, my feet hurt and I had to deal with a 2 year old with a delayed nap for a good chunk of the shopping trip. So me being nice only last a few seconds.

I told her that I would figure it out. She said, "GIVE ME MY DAMN DOG". I said, "No. My sister in law is not opening the door. Your husband pushed his way into my home and tried to rip the dog from her arms. She will NOT open the door for you!"

She tells me that it is impossible for her husband to have done all of that because he is only one guy.

Oh my gosh are you SERIOUS LADY!!!!!

So I am now on my way to the bank WHERE THERE ARE FUNDS to just withdrawal the money. I get 3/4 of the way there and she said, "I just want the puppy back now. I don't want her to belong to a bunch of mexicans"

fhfhto5t5houi3otfgqh3tqh35439q04iu589u7h5909ikjfdhsjdhsjfkgjksdfkgbab

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

She then proceeds to say, "If you don't give me my dog back, you are going to jail and I will start trouble at your husbands supposed work. Because I know that lowlife mexicans don't get jobs at US Cellular" (The night before, I gave her my address, phone number and she asked about CC. I told her where he was and she goes to that store because her account is there.)

So Lollie knows whats going on. Lollie is on her way there. Lollie also sent her oldest son and one of her nephews to my house to protect Elva, Wyatt and Cookie. :D

Those two boys are amazing. I should make them some type of goodie for helping me out so much. I think I will do that today.

Anyways

I tell the lady that I am almost there. The money will be there. Do you really want to take the puppy away from 2 boys that absolutely love her already?

She said she has no time for this and she is going to call the police and hangs up.

Then she calls me back at when I am at 72 & Maple. Now, I live off of 42 & Maple. I tell her, she says, "I am calling the police right now. Just put the puppy on the porch. You can come get her later."

I said, I am on my way. I will be there soon.

I pull up, the police were here! I get out and walk up to them and guess what they said????

Did you bring the money?

I said, yes. I have been talking to her and I have been telling her where I am at. I told her I was going to the bank. I told her I was on 72, I told her when I was on 60. The male officer looked at the female officer and said, then why are we here?

LOL I walked up to the husband, handed him the money and the wife took it. Then the officer said, hand her the check. She said, "Not until I count this money. Shes a fraud and will probably jip me."

The police officer said, "Did you get their address from the check?" She said, "No. That's not the address on the check" He said "How did you get their address?" She said, "They gave it to me." The officer then said, "This doesn't sound to me like they were trying to jip you if they gave you all of their personal information. It sounds to me like a mix up that you didn't want to resolve on your own"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Then the officer asked if anything else was needed. I said Nope.

Then they left. I hung out with everyone in the yard for a few minutes and then guess what happened next!!!!!!!!

I realized that in 15 minutes, I have to go to Winners Circle. The kids have not eaten yet. MAN!

I run in, give them some cheese and water and then we leave.

Winners circle was AMAZING!

Kane got a book for completing the summer reading program at the library and his picture taken. AND his name on a plaque that will be at the school.

He met all of his reading, math and citezenship goals. For the first two, he got a medal. The last one got his name in a drawing. He WON! He got a magnadoodle.

It was cute too. He stood up, looked at Ms. O'Shea and said, "THATS ME!!!!!!!!"

We enjoyed Officer Bill being very vocal and fun and had a cookie with ice cream (the kids did).

We get home, give them a yogurt and send them to bed.

Then, I had to finish preparations for the party. Made the centerpieces (with Elva!), arranged the candy and cut out the M's to my costumes. Made the ball toss games, arranged the prizes and got to bed at 3:30 am.

I will post part 2 later!
