Sunday night

Hello! Well it is Sunday night and our weekend was pretty uneventful. I took the kids grocery shopping with me on Friday night. What a mistake! They were SO crabby. By the time we got to the checkout we had 2 boxes of Lucky Charms opened and I had 2 boys that were crying. Kinnick was screaming as we were getting checked out. It took all I had to keep him in the shopping cart. He was drooling all over and making himself gag. Yeah, it was a temper tantrum! Everyone just stared at us. I felt awful, like I was this terrible mother. Carter was trying to grab every type of candy at the checkout counter that he could get his hands on. Maddie was pestering me to let her get some candy. Of course, when things like this happen you see someone you know and are just mortified that they saw you. Yep, that is what happened to me. I was in my grubby clothes, without makeup on and my hair was pulled back with a headband. I looked pretty scary. But who do you expect to see shopping for groceries on a Friday night???? FUN! Oh the joy of parenting. I called Adam on the way home and was in tears. I wonder how the kids would be if Adam took them to the store by himself? I think it would be interesting to say the least.

Saturday I spent most of the day laying on the couch. I felt like complete crud. I was supposed to help serve at a funeral dinner in the morning and then I was invited to a baby shower in the afternoon. I did not make it to eitherone of them. Maddie really did a great job helping out with her brothers. They sure do like it when she plays with them!

This morning when we got up I still felt yucky, but as the day has gone on I seem to feel better. When I came downstairs I found Adam on the phone in the kitchen and both of my boys in the living room without diapers on. Carter obviously decided he wanted his diaper off so that he could go pee. He did not bother to tell anyone he needed to go, instead he went in his toolbox in the toy room. Thank goodness he told me what he had done. It would have been bad if Kinnick would have found the tools and started to play with them. So that is how my day started off.

I got lots of laundry done today. YEAH! Adam just came in the house, and it is early, only 9:40. I just asked him what was going on that he was already done for the night and he says that the front end is out of the 8400. So that means he cannot drive it until John Deere fixes it. He is pretty sure they will have to come and pick it up with a semi and take it to Algona to fix. This harvest is just not going well for us! It seems to be one thing after another going wrong!

Well, I suppose I should get one more load of laundry done before I go to bed. Have a great week everyone!

Love, Steph
