Happy it's almost over!

This week has not been a good week for me. It all began last Sunday morning. We all woke up early and were ready by 10:15 which was so amazing. I was in a great mood and was happy to be going to church. I loaded the kids in the car excited for Michael to see us walking through the door super early and as I began to back up I heard a scrapping noise. I looked at Taylor and she made a "not a good sound" face. I pulled forward and realized that I had hit my garage wall. I don't remember what came out of my mouth but the kids said it was not good. The night before Michael had driven my car and had pulled it into the garage. He seems to think that it has to be parked a certain way so that there is more room next to his truck so when the kids walk through they won't scratch his truck. So just to get out of my garage I had to do what seemed like a ten point turn about. We got to church and I got out to look at the damage. Of coarse there is a lovely dent and scratch on the right rear of my car. For those of you who know me you know I am very anal about things and there is nothing that makes me more upset then scratches I can't fix. Michael sat down next to me and I wasn't very nice to him. Sorry for that Michael. The day passed and we made it through ok. Monday came and went with anything major. Tuesday was the big daddy daughter dance for Taylor and Michael and they were all dressed up in cowboy gear for the theme. They looked so cute I wanted to get a picture. So in my closet I go to get my camera. I posed them in front of the fire place for a cute shot and when I went to use my camera I notice it wouldn't focus and it made a clicking noise. Michael takes it from me and we realize that it has been dropped and my lense is broken. You would never guess who went running out of the room! CHARLEY!!! I was so upset I didn't know what to even say. I just went at put my camera away and tried not to even think about it. Wednesday was a good day and Thursday wasn't to bad either but then came Friday. Friday morning the kids are getting ready for school and Kauner brings me his progress report. I think he was hoping I would just sign it and not look but I took a moment to look at it and wasn't happy with what I saw. He was getting a c- in reading because of missing homework assignments. This is something we have talked with him about before and everyday when he gets home I ask if he has homework and his answer is always no. Now he has all these missing assignments and he says he just forgets he has homework. I begin lecturing and realize he has tuned me out and everything I was saying he wasn't even hearing. I told him his dad would talk to him when he got home and he said FINE. Friday afternoon is scouts and I am the Weblo leader. I thought I was ready for the day but of coarse last minute I wasn't. I am running around trying to get everything ready to go. Boys are so different then girls. They don't care what things look like they just want it done. A project that would take a girl a half hour to do takes them five minutes. I have such a hard time letting them just do it their way and not comment on what it looks like. It is going to be a challenge for me. So once scouts was over I was so happy. Today is Saturday and my week is almost over. I hope today can just run smoothly and my new week will be great.

Man...I am sorry your week was so bad. I can only guess what came out of your mouth when you hit the wall and I am glad I wasn't there. haha I know how you are about your car. Aren't you glad that none of that happened while michael was gone, can you imagine how that week would have gone. haha Next week will be better! LOVE YOU!

Sorry about the crappy week. Some times I'd like to push a fast forward button and get to another part of my life...but, I guess that can't happen...right now I am thinking about the potty training we are doing... OH JOY! But, the good news, I am done having kids...so after Rhett is totally potty trained (Which will hopefully be in a day or two :) then I only have Paige left to do. I am SO looking forward to that! Like I said...FAST FORWARD BUTTON! I really hope you have a better week!

Jaime, I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain about hitting the garage door. I have actually done the same thing and backed up into our garage door....3 times! 3 TIMES in two different houses. I have scratched and dented not only car but the garage doors as well, requiring Dustin to put in some hard labor to fix them. At least you could kinda blame it on someone else!

Hearing about your camera made me wince!!! Hopefully you can get that fixed. SO sorry about that one. The car... we can start a club. Although mine is on the left rear side. Is it the first Tuesday in March yet???? Also, I am planning a trip to Tai Pan and the huge outlets across the street from it. Not sure of a date yet. We can all talk at our dinner out.

So sorry Jaime, I didn't even know about your crazy mess! I feel for you because I know how frustrating it is trying to keep things nice with a boat load of kids around. I really feel for you with Kauner, Payton is much the same way. She just doesn't care and wouldn't do any homework if I didn't go through her stuff everyday. Hang in there!! we need a girls breakfast soon!!!

We can all relate! I just wish life was as easy as Mary Poppins makes it look. Wave your parasol around. Practically perfect. But I have come to realize, life is not 99% perfect and 1% imperfect. It is 1% perfect and the rest we make do.

So sorry you had such a bad week! I am with you with the camera and car. Nothing would make me a madder. Especially a camera that has to be replaced. Too bad kids weren't packaged with money to pay for things they destroy! Love you! Hope this week is better!
