home again

Hooray! Daddy made it home from his trip! Thrilled is a word that doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. I was fading...and very fast. Let's just say also that when I got his text message that his flight had been delayed I yelled at my phone. Yes, I know. It wasn't the phone's fault, but who cares when you are mad. At least his flight was only delayed by 1 1/2 hours and not days.

So for dinner tonight...this will show you exactly how great of a mother I am when I am stressed and daddy is traveling...
2 of the kids had chinese food leftovers
2 of the kids had cold cereal
1 of the kids had mac & cheese leftovers AND cold cereal

Whatever. They got to choose and I didn't have to fight them.

Tomorrow I am sleeping in, and I WILL be taking a nap in the afternoon when he comes home EARLY from work. Why you ask? Because I am the MOM and because I CAN!

The end.

Thankful Thursday #7

Howdy ya'all! What a magical time the last 24 hours has been for me. Really. My hubby rocks the house! He is all I can think about! WOOHOO! So I bet you know what I am thankful for...

WRONG!

Just kidding! I am thankful for him. Totally. I am also thankful that after tomorrow's recognition night for Activity Days, I can take a break. AAAHHH! I have been working my butt off (and yet it is still there- weird...) making little wall hanging things that we give the girls when they turn 8 and come in to Activity Days, as well as living up to my type-a personality and obsessing over every detail of the planned night. I'm sure it will be fun and fine. I hope so. I finally finished MY poodle skirt today. Oh yeah. Did I mention that? It is a 50's themed Daddy-Daughter Date, which should be a lot of fun, but in addition to all the things I already HAD to do for the party, I promised my two girls that are in A.D. that I would make them a poodle skirt to wear. AND then I stupidly thought that I should make one for myself. So that my waist and butt can look even larger and people will be utterly astonished at the amount of FELT that was wasted just to cover said waist and butt. Oh yeah! I am a dork! I freely admit to it.

But, alas, everything is ready and it will ALL BE OVER TOMORROW! Hooray!

anyway, that's what I am thankful for today!
