Ugh, 6AM came early!

We got up and got all our usual stuff done and got the girls off to school. Then I headed back to bed and just laid there - I totally couldn't get back to sleep!! My 2nd alarm finally went off at 7:30AM and I was up and getting dressed since I had to leave the house by 8:25AM. I had to be at East Pike by 8:30AM to help paint faces. The boys came with my and I painted Gman's face first! Then from 8:30AM till 10AM I painted faces. I left to come home and then T left for work!! Soon after CJ and I headed out the door. We stopped at Dollar Tree, Michael's and Giant Eagle then it was off the Eat N Park for lunch! 

Once home I worked on my project life a bit and cleaned up my office. Then I made cupcakes (for Dutch's 43rd birthday) and at 4:30PM Laura and Alyssa came and picked up R - she was going to eat dinner with them, go to Battle of the Faculties and then spend the night!!! I put off dinner for the longest time 1. because I didn't want to make it and 2). because I didn't want to leave the house and spend money on it! I ended up making pizza bagels for Little man, S & me and PB&J for CJ and Gman! Then after dinner I went into my room and read. CJ came in and fell asleep at about 7:20PM. T got home from work at about 8PM - he was sick and in pain from a kidney stone. Little man and Gman were watching a movie and I put them to bed at about 8:30PM. Now I just peed and I'm headed to bed myself because I am beat!!!

Well we survived

the first school morning without daddy, only 3 more to go!!! But before I get to today I have to tell you what happened last night, so I went to bed shortly after blogging and read for a bit, but I was so tired so I finally just fell asleep....next thing I know I hear this ringing/beeping and I think it's my alarm!! I'm like WTF!!! So I pop up and roll over to turn it off and I read something:41 and I think why is my alarm ringing 20 minutes early...then it hits me it's my phone ringing!!! Hahahaha!! So I grab up my cell phone and quickly facetime hubby back and I'm like ...."why are you calling me so early...it's like 5 in the morning..." And he's like ...."honey it's 10:41PM"!!! Hahahaha!!! I mumbled a few more things and we said goodbye and I was right back to sleep!!! Once I woke up this morning I realized that I did see 10:41 on the clock last night but for some reason my brain only wanted to acknowledge the 41!!! And I was so out of it I have no idea how I managed to dial him back.....I mean I don't even think I opened my eyes!!! Hahaha!! It was good stuff!!!

Ok now for this morning, I made the girls eat cereal (actually I don't think they really mind) and got their lunches packs and got them out the door and then I laid down, but didn't go back to sleep. The boys were up before the girls left but thankfully they were semi quiet in the living room!! Once I got up I gave them hot oatmeal and finished packing their lunches. Got the dish washer unloaded and then got them on the bus!!! As I was coming back in the house my phone was rinigng and it was hubby!!! So him and I and C facetimed for a bit and he shared his morning balcony view with us, lucky duck!!!

Then I sat down and edited halloween pictures from 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 - I had 121 photos total!!! Got them uploaded and order at Wal Mart. Then got the living room cleaned up and swept (well after I blew dust everywhere because the hose was clogged and then dug out said clog with a golf putter) and the hallway swept. Then it was lunch for C and I and then we had some running to do!! JoAnn's, Michael's and then Wal Mart!!! Then home and once R, L and G were home we ran out to get S and then to drop of T's pre-streets at FV and then home to have a little facetime with daddy - cause today is his birthday after all!!! Happy 37th Birthday baby!!! We love you so much!!! Also today should have been my brother Jeff's 50th birthday!!! *sigh* I can't believe he has been gone for 5 years!!! I miss him so much and I'm so sad that my kids don't get to grow up knowing him...well strike that they know him I guess "experiencing" him would be the better word!!! He was such a riot!!! He was quiet, but man once he got going he was totally awesome!!! He could get one a rip and just ride it forever!!! So sad he was taken from us way too soon!!! Here is a picture of the handsome devil and also coincidentally my other brother that was killed too just 20 months later! Jeff is on the left, my sister in the middle and Brad (Dutch) on the right!!

From my wedding in Nov 1997!! Love and miss them both!!!

 After facetime we had dinner - my delicious homemade velvetta mac and cheese and then it was just hoovering in survive mode once dinner was over - hahahaha!!! Showers/baths and then bed!!! I was going to start scrpping my halloween photos but I want to just go to my bed and READ so that's what I'm gonna do....well after I go yell at some boys that I can still hear talking....and now yelling in their room...................................ugh...ok now I'm going!!
