Crazy Saturday

My day:
Times are not fully accurate :)

12:30am--Daniel has a bad dream and climbs in bed.

6:30am--Daniel wakes me up to see if it's Saturday or Sunday. Then proceeds to talk my ear off until I made him go watch tv.

7:30am: James yells, "Mommy! Help! I on my dresser again. Get me down!"

8:00am: Eat breakfast and listen to the boys fight about who knows what.

9:00am: I move the table and chairs out to the porch and vacuum the dining room.

9:15am: I look outside to the see the coolest sky. It was sunny on one side of the house and dark on the other. I ran outside to snap a picture of it.

9:16am: Wind starts gusting, sky turns overcast. Craziest downpour of rain ever.

9:20am: Roto Rooter guy shows up 3 hours early to fix the drain. Yay! He works out in the rain and flushes the line 5 times. He tells me I'm good to go. Woohoo!

10:00am: I run down to clean up the mess from last night. Then start a small load of laundry.

10:20am: Check to make sure laundry is draining... NOPE. Turn off washer and go upstairs to meet the lady who was coming for our table.

 

10:35am: Lady shows up for table. I tell the boys to stay inside. Boys of course follow me outside and are running all over like crazy people.

10:45am: Call Roto Rooter and talk to the manager. Tell him that my washer is backing up all over the place. Hear an audible sigh on the other end because they LOVE me over there. I said, "I don't understand why this is happening!" to which he replied, "I don't either, but I'll send him back to you." Mind you, the guy had to come back from another job in Springfield.

12:00pm: We made it to lunch time. We didn't have a table so we had a picnic in the kitchen. It was mostly the boys getting up and down and stealing each other's chips, but they thought it was fun!

12:30: Roto Rooter guy comes back. I greeted him with "Long time no see!" He apologized profusely. Came in and realized the clog was inside and not outside. He promised not to leave until he was positive it was fixed. The boys followed me downstairs and James proceeded to throw a laundry basket over his head and kept trying to play Peek-a-Boo with the guy. Then threw a fit when I made him come back upstairs.

12:35pm: Problem solved. Thank the Lord!

1:30pm: Nap and rest time. Can I get an AMEN?

2:00pm: Start watching Grey's Anatomy. Of course the hospital computers got hacked. Haha!

2:10pm: I start yelling, "DANIEL!!" He comes running out thinking he's in trouble. I told him to look out the window. Huge snowflakes were falling. We squealed with excitement! It didn't last long, but it was awesome.

4:10pm: Our new table got delivered. Thankfully I had this all paid for when I ordered it several weeks ago. One less thing to stress about and one more thing to be happy about!

4:40pm: Did some dishes and learned that my kids don't like me blaring and belting out, "All I Want For Christmas Is You!" Too bad kiddos. Too bad.

5:00pm: Fed the little gremlins supper at the new table while I was terrified with every move they made that they would scratch it.

6:30pm: Momma gets to shower which is like bonus quiet time.

7:45pm: Get Daniel tucked in.

8:00pm: Start decorating for Daniel's "pretend" birthday tomorrow. James "helped"

8:30pm: Jacob gets home. Timer goes off. Stinking cinnamon rolls were already starting to burn. Wahhh!

9:00pm: Finally get James tucked into bed.

9:45pm: I finish this post.
