Yet another dull day ...

Yesterday started at 5am thankfully the calls were on the light side since my side kick IM'd me to say she would be out sick today. The kids started waking up around 9am which usually is ok. Today is another story, Rick didn't get home until 6:30 am from the rave he work and since I was by lonesome answering calls I didn't finish up until after 9:30. Yup just a lovely morning then add in VERY rude people who mind you called into a radio program and I'm just calling back to update their info and offer an appointment. Most times their are a little gruff since they are from East Coast I totally get it my Aunt lives in New Jersey, she is totally the same way so I get that but these people were just plain rude. I even had one lady hang up on me after yelling at me that he husband would never call. She did call back later and scheduled a point and apologized profusely to the gal (that being me) that called, so hey that's something. Plus a VERY sweet older lady who invited me for tea, I told her I would love to if I lived closer like even the same state ;). The nice ones are hard to come by so I hang onto those. So in a nutshell welcome to my morning.

This afternoon I was laid back just catching up trying to clear up my busting at the seams DVR. My relaxing day was oh so relaxing minus my newly teenager, oh wait I don't have a teenager but I do have a 10 year old who believes he's a teenager. Let's start with the newest gift pack that showed up that included a mp3 player hey it did include ear phones but you know using those would hurt the quality of the music. So let's plug it into our laptop and blast the music where you can hear it over a the TV that is turned up. Then add in the drums, by this time my head is about to explode so hey let's go to the Library and Wal-Mart (we even dressed up). Oh the joys of headphones with the mp3 player, because we're cool like that and have to walk around with them on and oh yeah have them playing while we're in the car! You so want my life don't you, want to trade? I'll give it to you cheap ... LOL just playing. Since I was so not in the mood so walking around Wal-Mart was a great way to spend the day I know every kids dream! We did buy Journey to the Center of the Earth with the 3D glasses so I'm totally stoked to watch it. My plan was to eat dinner yummy tatter tot casserole and then watch it as a family. Poor Rick was so tired he went to bed with out dinner and didn't wake up until this morning. Which made a certain 10 year old not so happy since 1 he wanted to watch the move and 2 he wanted to watch it only with Rick. Yup me being the mom who does everything doesn't count for much but my dear hubby who works two jobs and is barely here yup he's the one that is beloved! Got to love that thinking! Oh well as long as my boys know who really runs this place it's all good. I'm sorry not a lot of humor today, just a pretty boring day! Maybe today will bring better stories, for some reason I doubt it :).

I have entered Mom Nirvana ...

Well if you don't count the screaming kids, shredding my finger with the cheese grater and yelling every 5 minutes go play in your room and get out of my kitchen. Beside that what a perfect day I leave work on time, well at least I try to when all of a sudden I can't find my keys. I spend the next 10 minutes tearing apart my purse and trying to carry on a conversation with Brian about invoices with out having the panic I'm going to cry voice. After I found them of course sitting on the filing cabinet since that is the most logical place for them to be! I run pick up the 3 kids, oh boy I can't wait for Cole to be back in School Daycare so we can have a little peace since he'll be the last stop. Then we run and pick up Roy since I wasted so much time looking for my keys we could have made it to the grocery store. Instead of doing that we head home get unloaded and just in time for Tarra to show up.

Tarra and I got busy making the casserole and had a great system down if it weren't for the kids. They of course were not on the same page and my heated warnings to NO KIDS IN THE KITCHEN went over their heads (literally). After almost shredding my finger instead of the cheese did anyone kind of listen that was for maybe 2 minutes. At that time they returned and we had the heated debated of "how come she can sit in here", "I want to see too", "No I sit here", "No I help", oh the joys of being a mom. Next house must have a bigger kitchen, too many little ones under feet! Finally after much pledging and then throwing in the white towel we get the casserole done and ready to go in the oven.

At which time I take my clue to run out the door while Caden is busy eating and Cole is who knows where to get the grocery shopping done. Let me tell you I never have enjoyed the grocery store as much as I did last night. I got to grab what I needed with out anyone asking can have this or I never get anything. I even forgot my bags and was able to Leave (yes you read that right) my cart and run out to the car to grab my bags! That trip was worth every blissful minute! Thank you Tarra.

This is where my nirvana went into overdrive! I come home to have helpers (I know I was shocked too) help carry in the bars. My house cleaner Leah was just finishing up the bathroom and the kids had already had dinner! I had to stop and blink and then open the door to make sure I really did enter the right house. And it just kept on going, while I did up the dishes Leah dusted my whole front room and Tarra gave the kids baths! By the time I was done with dishes I even had time to eat dinner myself and get this watch a little Project Runway! Yup I was having a momgasium! Get your minds out of the gutter it's pleasure for moms!

Now let's see how long the house will stay clean, until next week when she comes ... oh sorry I'm still in my nirvana state I must have cloudy vision!
