Yesterday’s events!

YIKES. i am tired….the biggest benefit for me today is two fold. a) the kids and I slept in until 8 am…I am usually up between 5 and 6 30! and B) I have absolutely NO WHERE TO DO TODAY!!! YAHOO.

Yesterday was an absolutely full day…it started at about 6…I had to get Tornado and Lady Bug out the door by 8 15 for school when daddy came home to pick them up….

The kids were not cooperative AT ALL it took the the better part of an hour to eat their bowls of cereal…My kids are usually great eaters BUT they were all over the place that morning…So I was feeding Little bean his bottle…Got the two oldest off to school then began the cooking.  I had to make Baked beans AND chili for a funeral dinner at church…Not to mention clean up the whole house in order for the baby sitter to come at1 30 so Hubby and I could go to the funeral

Since hubby did the funeral we had to be there early…So I did all the stuff necessary for the two dishes in the correct crockpots and called the lady who was going to pick them up….

Now to check on weasel!  He was being good watching Veggie tales in the basement and I would see him every 20 to 30 minutes asking for food.  11 30 Little Bean has been screaming ALL morning which is totally unlike his jovial little self SOOOO I had to vacuum holding him…dust holding him….then I fed him at 11 40…Hubby and the two older kids rolled in around  12 05 then I made lunch, rest of dishes….Got dressed for funeral did hair all that jazz…then the babysitter came…grief instructions…Found out later i forgot to tell her where the diapers were! 

Then off to funeral at 1 40
