There are so many things that happened this morning i almost can't type it. from owen still being sick, trying to get him in the bath, making an dr appt for him, calling the ins company to see if we have coverage (our cards had expired) to penny dumping salt all over the table, simon pulling penny's hair. jason adair called and i took it and gave up on the day. that was at 10am. we chatted for a while and i looked at my watch and had to run to get everyone to the doctor in time. we saw the dr, got back in the car and i realized i was an hour earlier than they had told me. got mcdonalds. took owen back to school. his cough is still kinda bad but he had missed 2 days already, i figured i had to get him back.
(now i am writing the next day)
so owen had his team party at 6:30 and sophie's holiday concert was at 7:00. i only had a babysitter from 6-7 and nothing, NOTHING was working out. so i was talking to jami for her birthday and we figured out that the best solution was to just take the babies with me to pick up owen from scouts, go to the party, stay for a half hour and then get to sophie's performance a little late and just have the babies sit on our laps. i had two tickets. perfect. settled.
when i proposed the plan to sophie she freaked out.... dont bring the babies, mom. don't! we only have two tickets. and then her friend called because earlier sophie had told her that she could have one of our "extra" tickets. so sophie and i went round and round trying to think of other babysitters, other plans, to no avail. Doug called to check in and i totally broke down. it's just too hard.
he called whit and heidi and so they came over and stayed with the babies but had to be gone by 8:15 to pick up their christmas tree.
so everything works fine until we get to the party and the team mom tells me that Owen is getting the spirit award! whaat? crap. we can't leave now! how awesome, he got the spirit award! crap. what am i going to do?? so we stayed until the awards. was able to leave by 7:45. got to the school just as the madrigals (i saw their black dresses were leaving the stage) were ending and just in time for intermission. so owen and i waited and waited...looking at my watch the whole time. i could see by the program that sophie was going to be in the next 2 or 3 numbers and then girls in green and white started lining up. but they took too long and i had to leave at 8:12 to get back home. i missed it all.
so, i felt so bad, after whit and heidi left, i threw all the kids in the car and ran to Vons and got the girls flowers. came home tied them up all pretty. by 9:15 the babies were still awake, i was back in the bathroom and sophie was home. robin had dropped her off and took off before i could get out to the door to give her the flowers. so, i presented 20 dollars worth of flowers to sophie (crap!!) and then listened as a disappointed looking sophie told me all about how robin was super controlling and ordering her around all night. she didn't look like she had a lot of fun. i tried to cover up that i didn't actually see any of the performance but she was asking to many questions. it became obvious. so i had to break the news. she took it pretty well. i finally got everyone to bed at 9:45. stayed up until 1:30 doing tracy anderson webisodes on you tube and watching glee, raising hope and running wilde. i was also trying to make a game plan for christmas.
