Naptime

Wow, its been awhile since I’ve posted anything.  I guess my life is really that boring that I didn’t have anything to post.
Anyhow… so my babysitter needed to take this week off to tend to her father that is recovering from heart surgery.  (I really hope this is the truth and that she’s not pulling a fast one on me, especially THIS WEEK, but if she is, its her loss, I’m not paying her)  Of course this week is the same week my husband is in MEXICO building a house on a church mission trip.  This is also the same week that my car was repossessed (finally) after putting it in the bankruptcy.  (Yes, my life does suck sometimes, just a little, but that is okay, life goes on!) 
My sister flew over and watched the kids on Monday and Tuesday, she couldn’t get out of here fast enough on Tuesday.  She was so impressed that the kids were so great on Monday, blah, blah, blah but then after too little of sleep they showed her the real side of them – the side I get to deal with all the time – the fighting, the whining, the oh I stubbed my toe I need ice and a band-aid side!  (They’re my kids and I still love them!  Seriously, I do!)
Dropped her off at the airport on Tuesday and had Wednesday lined up for my mother-in-law to watch the kids.  She was planning on using the second car since their second car is at the auto body shop being repaired after my father-in-law bumped the car in front of him one day getting onto the bridge leaving work.  (I feel really bad because he was rushing home to watch my kids so I could go work on cleaning my old house and moving into the new one!) 
Thursday mother-in-law was getting her hair done and couldn’t watch the kids, so I was forced to take the day off since Mom wasn’t flying in from Texas to babysit, and the old baby-sitter’s place isn’t an option since I’m paying for them to be in swim lessons, by God they’re going to be at swim lessons at 10:30 in the a.m.! 
I went ahead and took Friday off too because my plan was to enjoy a day to myself, see a movie, get a mani-pedi, sleep in (the kids were going to spend the night last night), etc… before my softball game and enjoy my mother-in-law watching my kids and having a few hours to myself.  Well, as I was taking my nap (the kids were in dire need of a nap) mother-in-law calls to say that she’d still need to use my car because their second car still wasn’t going to be ready.  URRGH!!  I couldn’t blow my cover and admit that I needed my car to run around town pampering myself (this is needed after FIVE DAYS of no husband!  Boy I miss him!) and told her no problem, I’d just take the day off and watch the kids myself.  I turned back over and went back to sleep.
Apparently I am the only one that took a nap yesterday.  My kids waiting until I was off in dream land and decided to make a holy terror of my house!  Madison pulled out EVERY SINGLE towel, bed sheet, pillow, etc… out of the linen closet and covered the living room floor with them!  Linen closet on floor+ Mom = NOT HAPPY!!!!!!! 
I quickly picked up the phone and called my mother-in-law back and told her that I’d have the kids there by 7:00 and if she could take me to the train station, I’d just need the car at 4 to get to my softball game.  I don’t think I could handle another 24 hours alone with the kids and not a) be in jail for murder or b) be institutionalized at the mental hospital
THANK GOD husband returns home tomorrow.  We will be in the parking lot at the church when they arrive, with bells on!!  Think maybe we should make a nice banner!  Yes, think we will do an art project to show our appreciation and love for Daddy tomorrow! 
Ryan (aka husband/daddy) leaves Tuesday morning for Southern California (work related) and doesn’t come back till Thursday… the babysitter had best be back to work on Monday morning, that’s all I’ve got to say!
