um….

Today is one of those days where I feel like I’ve been so busy, yet look around the house and see that not alot was accomplished.

I was sick on my birthday yesterday, so I didn’t get anything done. Thankfully, Andy and his brother cleaned up the kitchen and took care of the kids last night. But by me not doing anything yesterday, made today’s job harder.

I took the babies with me this morning to drop Connor off at school, then we went to Wal-mart—not a fun task when you have a 15 month old and an 11 month old with you. Ugh! We left there and came home and as I’m pulling into the driveway, I push the button for the garage door and out runs Miley—the new dog.  I must not have shut the door that leads from the kitchen to the garage all the way, so as soon as the main garage door opens, she bolts up the street so I have to chase her up to the next block while juggling the babies. Hey, I guess that constitutes as a work-out.

By the time I get the dog and the babies in the house, I only have 30 minutes before I have to leave again to pick Connor up from school. I throw a load of clothes in my dryer and turn it on and it starts making some awful noise. Thankfully, it’s under warrenty so I call the store who lets me talk to their service man who tells me to try several trouble-shooting taks. I leave to get Connor and I feed them all lunch and get them to bed. I try all the things the service man suggested—including unhooking the vent hose and lettting the dryer run a full cycle, which did nothing but fill the laundry  (ceiling included) with lint. Thanks, man! So, I call him back and he says he wants to come look at it…GREAT! Then he says he doesn’t have a base pass, so now I have to wake up the kids (that just got to sleep) and drag them to the Visitor’s Center with me to get this guy a pass. We get back, the man makes a huge mess of my laundry room, but fixes the dryer. The kids won’t go back to sleep, so they are all grumpy and Landon is now running a fever and pulling on his ears. Oh joy! I call the doctor who has agreed to see him at 6 tonight, except I am suppose to have nursery duty at church. I spend an hour calling other members of the church before I finally find someone to switch weeks with. While I’m on the phone, Landon got into the spice cabinet—spun the ‘lazy susan’ tray around until all the bottles came flying out. While I clean that up, he sneaks a bottle of blue cake sprinkles and gets them open and covers himself and my floor with them. I clean it up and decide to check on the dogs that have been outside since the dryer guy left, only to find they’ve been working diligently on digging their way to China. Andy will flip when he sees the back yard.

Now, it’s 5:15. Andy just got home and he’s going to start dinner. I’m going to leave in a few minutes to take Landon to the doctor and then I get to come home and do all the things that didn’t get done today. I’m wore from doing nothing.  What a day!
