Another crazy Week!

If you dont' want to read the whole thing at least scroll down for the big reveal by Michael...

I can't believe it's only 6 days until Christmas. I think I am mostly done now but that's what I started the week with, trying to finish my shopping. And between my crazy week it took me all week to get my laundry put away that's just sad.


Monday wasn't too bad, I did some running around, started the laundry.

Tuesday we had walking group, which I can't miss it's about the only exercise I get lately. Right after I went to speech, at this time I also have my friends Daughter because it was my turn. Later after school my friend and I decided to run to the mall. I'm learning if you see something you want for $5 get it now, don't keep looking! I was gone for about an hour. Came home, and had to run Michael to scouts, and than off to do the verification for Baseball. Let me just say that was crazy, it was dark, and very cold. I had the other 3 kids and no one was dressed for the cold. WE had to wait 1 hour outside before we finally got up there. Turns out since I paid online I could of verified residence after the new year! That would of been nice to know. They weren't very clear I wasn't the only parent who didn't understand. So we got home managed to make something to eat. I need to go to the store very bad. So when I was at the mall I stopped at Pat and Oscars and got some yummy breadsticks to eat with our leftover soup, plus Michael needed something to go to scouts for a pot-luck.

Wednesday was a very busy day, I volunteer at the school that day. We'll once again I was trying to get some shopping done before so I headed to Kohl’s with no kids (my friend had Drew.) Got some great stuff. Headed to school. spent some time in Taylor's class and than off to Michaels. Now this is the fun one. I have been working with the kids on their A.R. (accelerated Reader) I was having a hard time getting Michael to do his reading. So from Talking with my mom (who's a 5th grade teacher if you didn't know and an awesome one at that! I wish Michael was there.) I copied her idea and we set goals with the kids and those who reached their goal by a certain date would be able to participate in a Wii party. Michael was really excited and I am happy to say his reading level has gone up from a 4.5 to a 6.7! Well the party was Wednesday I went in got everything’s set up had some time to spare and ran to Target. Got back to finalize things and found out I needed my remote control to change the input on the TV I brought in. So I ran home, came back to a little confusion. The remotes for the Wii wouldn't sync that fast but once we got it all going the kids had a blast. And the ones who didn't get to participate came in later and saw all the fun going on. I really home more kids participate next time. WE had 17 out of about 30 kids. Each goal is individualized so it's great. I think it was a great success.

Now Thursday is the best day of All!!!! NOT (Right Candi?) We'll me and my friend made plans to go shopping at the outlets next to Mexico. WE planned on meeting right after speech. So I go to speech only to find out I missed my appointment it was a 1/2 hour earlier which I new because I planned on meeting my friend at 9:30 am and I was now at speech at 9:30. Don't know why I did that but I have been going to speech at this time for a month now. Nothing new. I felt so dumb and mad at myself. Well I rescheduled met my friend and off we go. WE had to hurry because we had to drop her daughter off and pick up mine for kindergarten. We'll one of the reasons we went together was so she could show me this cheap shoe store where she got some boots for her girls, and I wanted to get some. So we ran over there. There was no parking so we parked in Jack in the Box, ran to the shoe store decided it wasn't what I was looking for and ran back all under 5 minutes. A lady in the parking lot across from Jack and the box said, "Hey did you park a mini van over there?." We said yes (we took my friends car.) she said, "well it’ about to be towed." Are you kidding me!!!!! She runs over and I walkover with 3 little kids and yeap the car is hooked up and ready to go. If I would of bought something the car would of been gone. I'm not kidding. So she was able to talk to them and have them not tow it but she had to pay $75. I felt so bad. I'm going to make it up. So we where both pretty upset, and we both were shaking it's just crazy. Her daughter was going to be late and we decided we'll she did, that something good had to come out of this so we ran back over to the outlets and I picked up some boots their, for not that much more. but on the way back turns out her daughter was sick and had to be picked up form school. She was meeting friends and I was going to a lunch with her baby at a friends. Long story short I took both girls with me. Her 3rd daughter was supposed to ride the bus home with my kids....Well they didn't put her one so I had to run back and get her. I went to speech later that day with 6 kids. All in all it was a very crazy day. Thankfully I was able to have to great free meals. Lunch and a great Relief society dinner that night. So glad that day was over.

Friday wasn't too bad just a lot of running around but this is the big moment...Michael got a haircut, and has been planning this for along time....and her he is....
