What's today?

Hey, I'll tell you what's today? It is finally Freakin' Friday!!! Yeah, I put it out there, that's right it has with out a doubt been one of those weeks!!
I first must say my children NEVER hear me say any type of "potty word" including freakin', but these last few days I don't know what was going on, the way the world was spinning, mother nature, whatever...all I know is, I had to have hit a record with saying the word "freakin".
Did I write yesterday? Oh, no, that's right I didn't because I was having an inner meltdown! From the minute I got up to the minutes before I went to bed, incredibly insane!!
Let me just say, normally my day would start with a shower, umm, nope that didn't happen yesterday.....not even today, but guess what I'll be doing once I'm done here (yup, that's right, closing the bedroom door, taking a glass of wine, and that jacuzzi bath tub....it's all mine!! hopefully).
So, Squiggly traded days and decided to come on Thursday instead of Friday, okay, I can do that. My kids have 2 weeks left until school starts (whoops, did I type that right? I hope I did since I was uncontrollably jumping in and out of my seat as I typed it, sorry just couldn't overcome my emotions!)
Anyway, I thought to myself, well, I will just make Friday a complete fun day for my kids, we won't worry about dishes, cleaning, or work. I thought we could go rent a new game for the Wii, pick up our pizza early, come home and swim, play the Wii, and just have a complete fun day.
Well, the pools filters are having issues, we just cleaned them and again they're clogged so the pool is a light green which means we weren't swimming (and another couple hundred dollars to replace those filters!). Okay, well, I get myself up in time to come downstairs and have a cup of coffee before Squiggly arrives. I was turning on the T.V. to watch the morning news as I sat there and tried to wake up with my luke warm coffee. POP!! Is exactly what I heard from this 60 inch T.V. and then it went black.....I immediately turned it off and knew it meant the bulb blew out....well, no Wii games for us. I had to order that part (which was a little over $100.oo).
We all ended up hanging out in the front room watching the kids T.V. and playing. The kids were going crazy running around, poor Squiggly was trying to take her nap which only lasted about 45 minutes. By the end of the day she was exhausted, I managed to get her back to sleep, but with J and his "out of the blue complete non stop side" she only slept for 30 minutes more. Poor baby, she was just pooped out! You know when baby's hit that exhaustion, they don't want you to put them down and they don't want to go with anyone else.
So there I was holding her on one side while cooking with my free hand. In my mind I thought "I seem to remember doing this once upon a time, man do I not miss it one bit!".
Squiggly left and I hope had a peaceful night. We all had dinner in the front room together. I worked on the website, which did I mention is now up and running?!?! Yes, that's right I got it to work. Is it what I wanted? Not exactly but hey it'll get better with time (and learning).

Anyway, towards the end of the evening J just wouldn't settle down, Daddy ended up going to bed early (well, since his baby burnt out what else could he do?)
I was going to write my entry but between Mom Jr. watching everything I did and J just sticking to me completely I knew I wouldn't be able to get it done. By the end of the evening I was ready to have the title be "Frustration and Suffocation".

Friday morning came around, I heard my husbands alarm going off and in my head I was thinking it was Saturday morning and he just forgot and set it on accident. The second time it went off I knew I was the one who forgot it was actually Friday. Okay, get up, one more time, turn the coffee on, get out lunch and drinks, pour coffee with milk.....
Off he goes, for one more day...off I go back to bed, sleep, just sleep, I don't have to get up for Squiggly and as long as J's out I can just sleep......
Next thing I hear is D's voice, he's standing right by the side of my bed saying "No she's not asleep, you can talk to her". I have one eye open, he hands me the phone.."it's Daddy".
Let's just skip the rest, I'm up, J's now awake and so here goes my day.
I get up, J's starts his complaining about the T.V. I so badly just want to take a shower and not deal with any of it, although, I know better. My Friday begins back on the computer, I work on it long enough to drink enough coffee to get me moving and long enough for the kids to have breakfast, play, and get ready to head out the door.
Yes, okay, I went out without a shower!! Whatever, it was to the point of no return. I'm telling you I could see the smoke coming out of my ears!! The kids were in rare form, I needed to just keep going, there was no waiting for anything or anyone. I wet my hair, put on some deodorant, clean clothes (yes, clean clothes, I'm not that bad) and sandals.
We went to Costco, picked up our pizza, and came back home. I got the website working, Daddy came home and I took a deep breath and released it.................

Some weeks are a crazy ride, the ups and downs, the curves that are thrown out at you, the unbelievable speed that just doesn't slow down....

Damn, this week was just that......my determined, invincible, little J, he just keeps going and going....but if you ask him he's still my little snuggle buggle..

Just a Mom.........with a new website!!! Check it out!!!
