My Evening...

I know I'm a horrible mom for not posting something wonderful about my beautiful girls that just turned three today, but I will. I have something started... but for some reason I'm feeling very anxious right now and can't really put down what I want to convey.

So... instead I thought I would post all about my afternoon/evening...

Here is how it went... at 2:30 PM I left the "new" house to go to pick Trevor up from school. On the way there Lauren fell asleep and Brooke complained to me the entire way that she wanted to sit in Trevor's booster seat... I finally pulled over and gave in... it was MUCH easier than listening to her complain and whine... PLUS it is her bday and she should get whatever she wants (within reason) that makes her happy. :) And sitting in the booster seat did make her all smiley and happy!!

We went in the school and talked to the NURSE... I will tell all about my tale of woes with the nurse today in another post... I do have to make it to 365 people!! ;) Anyway... I talked to the nurse then I got Trevor we signed out and off we went home.

We pulled in the driveway, I got the mail then let Trevor sit on my lap and "drive" us in the driveway... he LOVES doing this and at our "new" house the driveway is way too steep for him to do it so we have to get it all in now. :)

We got out of the truck, I told the kids they could play outside... it was pretty nice out. They all came in. I immediately started cleaning and doing things... AFTER I posted the post before this one. lol You all know I'm a procrastinator. LOL :D Anyway... this is what I cleaned/did...

*I started the dryer and washer.

*I put away all the clean dishes.

*Helped Lauren go potty

*Changed Brooke b/c she had a peepee accident in the bathroom... hate when that happens. :(

*Made Trevor hot chocolate to make his throat feel better

*Gave all the kids a snack

*Took the wet washclothes and towels out the bathroom down to the laundry

*Took dirty clothes down the laundry

*I started washing the dirty dishes that *BLUSH* were full in the sink, on the counter next to the sink and on the stove top. (please don't judge... I'm not usually like this... just a LOT going on now)

*I got all the groceries in out of the back of the truck and put them away.

*I cleaned the kitchen counter off

*I piled up all of Brooke & Lauren's new bday presents and made it more organized

*I emptied the garbage and collected all the misfit stuff around the house to start a new bag

*I took care of more laundry

*I put away more clean dishes

*I washed more dirty dishes

*I started dinner ~ spaghetti & meatballs

*I let Trevor help me make dinner

*I packed about 10 boxes in the back of the truck

*I went to the barn and found all the tarps I could see and loaded them up too

*I went searching HIGH and low to find construction garbage bags... found em! & loaded em!

*I feed the kids dinner

*while they ate, I loaded in the truck :

**the microwave

**plates (real ones)

**silverware

**serving utensils

**soap & hand towel

**dish soap & sponge

**napkins

*I then packaged up dinner and took it to feed Bryan, Kevin & Chris dinner

*I feed them dinner

*I cleaned it all up

*I took the dishes back to the truck

*I brought in the boxes out of the truck

*I visited with Melissa and the guys

*I came home and put Lauren and Brooke to bed (they were sleeping in the truck)

*I carried Trevor in too and he is watching some tv before bed

I am going :

*clean the bathroom

*do more laundry

*wash up the new dirty dishes

*clean up the kitchen

*pack at least 4 boxes

*take a shower

*CRASH!!

this isn't even including what I did today at the "new" house and all the running around Bryan, the girls and I did... but since I'm milking the posting stuff I will wait for another post to tell you all about that.

Sorry still no pics... I'm not sure how to get them on the computer and I keep forgetting to ask my mom... duh!! But soon I promise!! :)

have a good night... I'm off.

~ It seems like the longer I stay away from here the harder it is to come back... I just feel like I have TMI to share that I'm over whelmed at thinking about what to post about.

I guess I'll just start with our little camping trip, and see how far I get.

~

We left at 10 am on Sunday and drove about 2 1/2 hours, stopped to have lunch at Cracker Barrel, which was so packed there wasn't even any parking for big trucks or trucks with travel trailers, so we decided it would take a long time to get food and since we had three kids that were just in the car for a long ride, we didn't think sitting at a table for a long time waiting for food was a smart move... although we all really LOVE Cracker Barrel.

~

We head out...

~

We go through the intersection and are in a mall parking lot that has Wendy's and Burger King... so we all decide on BK. We go in... there is a line. A LONG line. We figure out every one's order. My dad and Bryan get on the NEVER ending line, and... they wait. and they wait some more. and they WAIT even longer. I'm pretty sure if it was just Bryan on the line we would have left. My dad has a lot more patients and also there weren't too many more options of where to go eat.

The kids were playing nicely in the playroom they had there, and I actually let them. It was more like a mini arcade than a germ infested playground. I was still cringing some, but not totally freaking out. (I hate when my children want to go on the coin operated rides in the mall or at the grocery store, or go into playgrounds at fast food places ~ they are disgusting!!) Anyway, we waited well over 1/2 an hour.

~

FINALLY... after two trips to the bathroom, a trip to check the dog and give her water, and Brooke ripping the skin off the top of her foot with the door to the "play area"...

~

WE. GOT. OUR. FOOD!

~

It was a miracle. And since we waited so long... the kids ate like little champs, like they hadn't been feed in days!

~

There were no explanations or apologies for why or what took so long, no free coupons given out or anything... but we didn't care, we finally got to eat so we could get back on the road and get to the camp ground. :)

~

So there it is... the first part of our trip. I will be back to con't on with when we got there and all... and then day one, day two and day three and then finally day four and our trip home.

~

Also, I just have to mention that last night I had a great night out with JUST THE GIRLS!! I know. I know... how did that happen, right?? Well it happened because, Heather and I made plans to meet up with our other BFF Elizabeth who we haven't seen in a few months.

~

It was awesome!! It ended up being Heather, Jillian and myself going to meet her, and we had a great time!! We shopped some in the mall and then went to dinner at Friday's and then after we were there for a while we went to Cheeseburger in Paradise and had chocolate nachos!

DAMN those are good!! Sinfully good!!

~

WE had some drinks and most of all some laughs!! We had a great time, then we drove back to Friday's were we had left Heather's car... and we sat in the car and watched my wedding video... Liz hadn't seen it yet.... it was so much fun!! I think we all need to do that once a month or something.

~

I'm a little tired today because I didn't get home till about 2:45 AM, but it was one of the BEST nights!! We always have so much fun when we are together!! I wish that we lived closer to one another... but Liz isn't leaving Jersey and we aren't moving there either! lol

~

I have some pics and I could probably post some more about our awesome adventure... maybe another day!
