Is it Friday yet???

Last night as I lay in bed exhausted I went over the past week in my head. It was definitely one of *those* weeks. Since I don't want to be known as the one who always complains, I did find things that were good too. So here is my week in review, the good, the bad and the ugly!

Sunday-

*Good- It's Sunday! Nice, relaxing, spiritually uplifting. I shared an experience where I exercised faith and I had several people tell me they were touched. I even had one person tell me they were going to pass on my name and number to someone who was experiencing a similar experience. Had a great nap!

*Bad- I ended up with a migraine.

*Ugly- When we went to leave for church our Tahoe wouldn't start...The starter was dead.

Monday-

*Good- We went to a neighborhood BBQ. The turnout wasn't fabulous but it was fun to sit and chat with our neighbors.

*Bad- I had to go solo so Adam could take apart the Tahoe and fix it. He was leaving to go out of town the next day so it had to be done that night so I had a car.

*Ugly- Ian was in his usual hyper mode and was calling everyone with gray hair "grandpa". He desperately wanted attention and was acting out to get it. He spilled his drink. He spilled others drinks. One little girl looked and me and said "there is something WRONG with Ian's brain". I left a little heartbroken. (and frustrated)

Tuesday-

*Good- I gathered enough courage to take the kids to the park. Not just any park but discovery park. I never take the kids there because it gives me too much anxiety but the kids love it and beg to go.

*Bad- Our Relief Society was having our Visiting Teaching conferences that night. I had signed up to go at 8:10 before I realized that Adam was going to be out of town and Matthais was going to be at scouts. I ended up staying at the church when I dropped Matthais off and left the kids outside. I left Ian in the van and of course he dumped my diet coke all over my front seat. (What is it with that kid and dumping things?) I drove home with a wet behind.

*Ugly- Discovery park was extremely crowded. They were having football games and every parking space was taken. There was a line of cars heading into the parking lot and a line heading out. If you've ever been there you know what I mean. There were parked cars on one side of me, cars in front and behind me trying to find a parking spot, cars on the other side of me trying to leave and of course parked cars on the other side of them. Not a good situation for me to be in. I felt trapped. I started having an anxiety attack. My kids were in the car and I was trying really hard not to freak out in front of them but I was. I finally rolled down my window and stuck my head out of it until I could find a place to turn around and escaped. I ended up parking on the busy road cause I was not heading back into the parking lot.

Wednesday-

*Good- Had a yummy breakfast with one of my Besties Suzanne. It was so good to just sit and chat with her. It was a great girls morning in.

* Bad- Last week one of our neighbors was broken into. Because of that, I didn't sleep at all Tuesday night because Adam was gone and I was scared. I don't function well on 8 hours of sleep let alone 4.

* Ugly- I got caught in a HUGE downpour on the freeway. I was very scared and hardly able to see. There were several wrecks and I pretty much sat parked on the freeway for 30 mins. I was about 15 mins late to Ian's appointment and the Dr. was pretty annoyed but I was just glad to have made it. I rushed home after to get Millie to dance (she was late!) and then headed home to get ready for book club but never made it there because it was 7:30 and the kids hadn't eaten and I hadn't been home. I had just told the psychologist that I was taking time for myself and even going to book club that night. Turns out, sometimes it's just too stressful to take time for myself.

Thursday-

*Good- Adam came home!!! We had a delicious dinner delivered and it couldn't have come at a better time (as you'll see below). I had a nice bath that night, alone, with no one pounding on the door. Did I mention, ADAM came HOME???

*Bad- I took Millie to a dance class to make-up for when she missed classes with her pinkie incident. The class I took her to is one step up from where she is dancing now but it is the class the director asked her to move up to right after summer. She is definitely able to catch up to these girls and she is every bit as good as them. The director was subbing for the teacher who had gotten in a car wreck. She is fabulous teacher and pushes the girls to get them to do their best. My ever-so-sensitive Millie was in tears when I got there to pick her up. She said she was sick (she was not). Colleen had been a little hard on her trying to get her to do something  the correct way and it was just too much for her. She cried hysterically the whole way home.

*Ugly- Just before I was walking out the door to take Millie to dance (around 5:30) Matthais comes up and tells us his room is flooded. That's right. Flooded. Don't know why or how but the basement flooded. Enough said.

Friday-

*Good- I drank my last diet coke yesterday

*Bad- I drank my last diet coke yesterday

*Ugly- I DRANK MY LAST DIET COKE YESTERDAY!

please pray for me!!!! ;)
