I hate days like today!

We had a very busy, hectic, fun, sleep deprived weekend. I figured that I would go to bed really early Sunday night and catch up on some lost zzzzzz's. It didn't happen.. When I finally went to sleep about midnight, I slept for about an hour and was awakened by a feverish vomiting baby- who was inconsolable- for hours. By the time the Tylenol kicked in and I got him back to sleep I was feeling pretty inconsolable myself! Chris came in my room at 7:55 (a full 10 minutes after we needed to leave for school) He was quite indignant! "Mom I already came in here and woke you up!" Apparently not! I remember him coming in and talking to me but all I heard was "wonk wonk wonk wonk" like the teacher in the Peanuts cartoon. Just b/c I'm looking at you does NOT mean I am comprehending what it is you're saying! Elton (bless his heart- he's been #1 husband today) took Chris to school, I got Brianna ready and he took her to Preschool while I showered, and gave S. a bath. We went to the Dr. Spent 2 hours there, half of that time I was on the phone w/ our insurance company- trying to get them to change his birthdate. How hard is it to change a 2 to a 5??? Meanwhile Elton came and picked up Katherine from the Dr's office and took her to the Y for YouthFit, and gone to pick up Brianna from PreSchool. I go to pick K up, secretly kind of mad about missing it- thats 45 minutes/hour twice a day that I love. Several of my good friends have kids there so we sit around and have a big old gabfest. Then we go to Target to get his prescription filled. He is completely beside himself- its after 1 and he has had no morning nap. We came home and Elton had cooked steak and some kind of garlic chicken on the grill (God I love that man!) It was super good- very low carb. He went to work and I layed down with Shawny and tried to take a nap. The roofers were still here and even though they were hammering and dropping 80 lb. bundles of shingles directly over my head, I still got some sleep! We have something going on everyday this week- I have a to-do list about a mile long, and all I want to do is go outside and sit in the sunshine! Beautiful weather this week- sunny and up to the 70's.

The birthday season is in full force! Chris's birthday was Sunday. Happy 16th Birthday- I love you! Katherine's is Saturday (11). Friday night she's having her annual birthday sleepover. UGH! I'm so not with it! I didn't even buy invitations! I told her she had better just pick up the phone and call everyone... We did however buy plates and napkins at Target today= pretty colors, flowers and stripes. My little girl is growing up! No more character themed birthday parties. At least she wants a birthday party. Chris really wanted nothing- I made a Better than sex cake that he requested, and took it over to Bobby and Tracy's Sat. night. I figured it would kill 2 birds with one stone since Tracy's birthday was Friday. I bought candles and everything. Chris must have sensed the looming mortification b/c he went ahead and cut the cake with dinner, unbeknownst to me, and by the time I realized it, it was almost gone... Oh well I guess, but you don't turn 16 everyday!

I'll try to be better about blogging- I've been a little slack and try and get some pictures up here soon!
