Yup. tomorrow did hold more crazy.

mainly with the washer repairman. he showed up 1.5 hours late at 6:30 at night. took a look at it and asked if i had cash to pay for it. sure, i could pay for it. Cash he said, can you give me cash right now? or a check? it'll be cheaper than credit card. hmmm. sketchy. Then i realized that i had been trying to coordinate babysitting for tomorrow for the rockettes show. and then i got a call about being in a mormon.org video so i was trying to figure out if i could fit all that in and then if i couldnt i was trying to call around and find someone to take our place. so all of this is going on and i am on phone call after phone call and i realize that i had been telling people on the phone that doug was out of town and that the sketchy cash hungry repairman was right there listening the whole time. so then i started freaking out that he was going to come back to rob us or attack us or something. i was feeling very vulnerable. Mr. Lee the piano teacher was here for the kids music lessons and so after calling doug (really, i should have kicked the guy out when he told me it would be 385 for credit card instead of 300 cash.) but then i would have had to pay him 75 bucks for coming out and another 385 to someone else. other places i called couldn't come until next week and i desperately needed my washer to work.

ANYWAY, so he was working on it and taking a long time and so i asked mr. lee to stay until the guy was finished. he is so nice and agreed. then 7:30 was getting closer and closer and i had to get sophie to soccer practice and the dumb guy wasnt done yet. so i had mr. lee go out and ask when he would finish. a man presence is always good. he mumbled something and finally i just had to go so mr. lee stayed with all three kids while i ran up to the soccer field and back. thankfully, the guy was gone when i returned. i am nervous he will try to use my credit card. anyway, then all of a sudden rachel came over to check on me and then jonathan hale pulled up with caden to check on me. doug had called a bunch of people to come visit so the guy could see that there were plenty of people watching after us. i almost cried after rachel left and jonathan pulled up.

sooooooo crazy. i was up most of the night, unable to sleep. i was really freaked out. our front window was broken and i had nightmares about him breaking in to our house.

next day, owen was going to the bathroom standing up with his backpack on and almost out the door to school. i put simon in the car and came back in and owen told me, "mom, i think i pooped my pants. i farted and a little too much came out." huh?? i told you. crazytown.

thing are much better now, last week was the hardest week ive had in a while, which is saying something cuz i have had a hard time since doug started the features.

then penny woke up with a fever on saturday which meant i couldnt go to the rockettes with sophie. called and changed plans with the babysitter, more coordinating, rachel called and needed me home to watch ezra so they could pick up the car, was at sophie's soccer playoff game with all the kids, which is crazy in itself with all the blankets, shoes, toys, drinks, mini orange peels, etc. oh and then owen was dying to get to Donald's house for a playdate that had been rescheduled twice because of illness

i mean seriously, i could go on and on. the days are always like this. it is exhausting to type it all.

don't want to forgetj
