Saturday...

So glad Saturday is over.  I woke up at 7:30 (well really a lot  earlier when Drew came into my room scared and than later when Taylor came in my room scared.) But I got up at 7:30 thinking about getting our family pictures.  What to wear?  I had it mostly figured out.  I wanted the kids and I to coordinate but I wanted them to be themselves too.  Everyone was set except Drew.  I really didn't like the shirt I had for him, it was blue and brown.  Well the blue matched but no one was wearing brown.  So I got up showered and with wet hair ran to Kohl's deteremind to find him a better shirt.  Walked around the boy's section and not seeing anything that would work!  Come on!  Than I walked around again and again and finally found the one and only shirt that would work. Perfect and it even had the right size.  Grabbed a bed set for Drew as well.
Got home hurry and scrabbled to get the kids ready. Try to find my makeup, no one knew where it was.  I asked everyone and they all said they didn't know.  Finally asked Taylor, "please tell me if you know where my makeup is I won't get mad."  without any hesitation she said, "it's in my closet on the top shelf."  Seriously??????  I couldn't get made a promised, but she lied to me, I asked her twice before that.
Couldn't find the hairspray (found it today by my toilet.)
So off to pictures we, thankful my mom came and helped me get the kids ready and went with me to get pictures.  We left late, of course.  Taylor was being a pill...Pushing the limit of my sanity.
I was meeting my friend Rachel in Draper.  So I put Draper Park in my phone gps (well my mom did.) and off we go, only to find out as we get on I-80 that our destination was set for Draper Park Oklahoma City.  So I had to turn around..
Got off the right exit got lost again and finally a half late we arrived.
How did the pictures go you may ask?  They are done and really that's all I want to say, but lets see I had 3 cranky kids.  Didn't want to do what was asked, didn't want to smile, went off crying got mad because the picture he wanted done wasn't working out, 2 walk out of the family picture one comes back and one refuses!  Pictures are officially over!  AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH  
I'm anxious to see how they turned out.
So after pictures we grabbed something to eat at Arby's, let me tell you that they gave us the stupidest "toy."  It frustrated everyone the kids, me and my mom it finally ended up in the trash
Than off to stop at burlington coat factory to look at some baby bedding for my sister.  The kids get two carts and start racing through the store screaming!  I turn to my mom, "who's kids are those,"  she said, "can't they control them?"
Find baby bedding leave for Michael soccer game in West, West, West Jordan.  Michael the whole time is letting me know he will be late, he basically counts down to the time he is supposed to be there.  "Yeap, we're late."  Ugh, so annoying.
No shade, thankful for a cool breeze.  Michael had a great game he scored two goals!  They won their first game.  If they can play like they did in the second half we will have a great team for the season.  There is about 10 minutes left the game and Drew is done!  He wants to go home, so I listen and listen to him telling me I want to go home, I want to go home.  Over and over.
Did I mention the fighting of my kids in the car?  I guess that goes without saying.
Finally time to go home.  Forgot I made a promise to Drew to go to the Dollar Store, so off we went and watched another miracle Michael being so kind to Taylor and Drew he bought them each something with his own money.
Home!  But I have a half hour before the ward party and I need to make cookies.  So I quickly do that.
Everyone leaves but Drew and I.  I arrive a half hour late.  I'm good with that.
Did I mention the giant black window I saw in my garage.  Tried to get a picture but the camera was being so weird, it was blurry. But he was big, the biggest one I've ever seen.  I sprayed him, and later my dad smashed him with a hammer.  I only saw it because there was a piece of plastic that looked like it was floating but it was on top of this web.
Go to ward party, stay a little while and for real go home.  My wonderful parents are there.  My mom and is there already putting dishes away and proceeds to help me clean my house.  The kids want to watch a movie but I said, no way until they clean up the basement play room.  And guess what without complaint they went off and cleaned!  it was like a new room.
We sat down to watch a movie, I was exhausted it was a long day.  So grateful for my mom being with me to help with the kids.  The sad part is I did really well but let a lot of frustration out of Michael.
Being a single mom really stinks.  I have to be honest.  I hate the weekend.  Friday comes and I'm not happy.  I can handle the weekday because Mark was so busy during the week I was on my own with the kids most the time than.  But he was mostly home on the weekend.
I miss a lot of thing right now I miss someone to talk to at the end of the day, to confide in, to make decisions with.  I have a lot of support but nothing can replace a husband.
