Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Friday At Last

April 20, 2012

It’s been a busy week and this weekend will be busy too. Here’s what’s going on in my life:

1. Monday Steve received an award in a local writing contest – he came in second! More on that later.

2. Tuesday we had the plumber come out to fix the drain in the laundry room. Again. He found out that a pipe was broken and needed to be replaced and re-routed. So…

3. Wednesday the plumbers came out to fix the pipe and the kids and I went on a field trip! We went to visit the Little House On the Prairie historical site in Kansas. That was awesome! I cried. No pictures (forgot my camera) but the kids and I really enjoyed it. Okay, except for Steve. Fifteen year old boys and Little House on the Prairie don’t usually go together. Came home to a whole new plumbing outlook for the washer – now we’re in “do all the laundry you didn’t get to do for four days” mode.

4. Thursday was beginning the catch up on laundry and finishing birthday shopping for the two birthday boys – Joe and Chris. Yes, their birthdays are only 3 days apart and it’s wild every year. At least this year no one’s birthday landed on or around Easter.

5. Friday (today) is being spent baking and frosting a Cocoa Goodie Cake, wrapping gifts, and celebrating Joe’s birthday. He is 13 today. Happy Birthday Joe!

This weekend will be grocery shopping, clothes shopping for the girls, and celebrating Chris’ birthday. Then on Monday is Chris’ dentist appointment and Maggie goes in to the dentist on Tuesday. The rest of the week will be spent getting ready for the start of school again the following Monday.

Phew! What a wild time we’ve been having lately! I’m ready for things to settle down again. Maybe in 9 years :-).

Yeah - it was pretty exciting when he got the phone call. Hopefully I'll get all that up this weekend.

Crap, Joe is thirteen? Well, uh... wish him Happy Birthday from me, I guess.
Also glad to hear you _finally_ went to that Little House place. You've only been talking about it since _forever_.

Yep - thirteen. I gave him your message :-). Yeah, considering that we live so close to that Little House, it's almost unreal it took us so long to get there! Next on the list is Rocky Ridge Farm - that's an original house and has Pa's fiddle. I know I'll cry a bucketful when I see that.
