BUSY week...

Ok, so, it's been almost 7 days, sorry ya'll! Things were crazy this weekend!! It all started Friday night.
My mom and grandma took me to a "Corbin Sister Slumber Party"! One word: Hillarious!! Keep in mind that I am the youngest one there. (The eldest was aunt Edie, she just turned 80) Bonnie threw the party at her house because she just moved in and it was the perfect party place so there was room for everyone. We all gathered in the living room after dinner and they teach me a game called "Poor Kitty". Yeah, so I had to be the Kitty first...you have to act like a cat (keep in mind I have 3) and crawl up to your neighbor and when the kitty meows the person pats them on the head and has too say "Poor Kitty" (3X) if you can get that person to laugh then they have to be the kitty and go until they get somone to laugh. Ok, so, I crawl over to my aunt Karen, start purring like a cat, turn over kick my legs, you name it...I was the perfect Kitten!!! Needless to say, Karen was the next cat....I think that some of the ol' biddys (JUST JOKIN LADIES) even pee'd thier pants!! So much fun!!! I love being a "young brat as they would call me. ... Well, it comes time for aunt "Sissy" to be the kitty and she was funny! She was more like an evil cat or something but she got me again. I go to my couisn Jenny (I'll have to tell you more about her...she's just toooooo funny for words)and I get up in her lap and purrrrr and then lick her on her cheek!!!!! It didn't work, she licked me back...I thought I was going to die of laughter!! We were all cracking up! I do have to say that I think Edie should get the prize...the thought alone of her still playing made us laugh. All in all it was a super night!! I took mom and g-ma back to their car and came home....I felt like I was a kid again!
I had more fun with all the memories they spoke of even over the games :-)
I can't wait till the next one!!! The batteries on my camera are dead so I'll have to work on pics...

Saturday:
Jonathan let me sleep in because of being out late but I was up an at 'em workin on the house. I got almost everything done. I did finally paint the living room but I still need to finish the trim throughout. I sent Jonathan and the kids away so that my ipod and I could get things done!! Well, I got a little done but not much....I ended up back at moms house for a while and hanging out there then had to go to my grandmas house to get my truck to take ashlyn home. I walk in to find BJ shaving my grandpas head (ended with a buzz cut). yeah, he's starting losing his hair due to chemo so he let BJ and Ahshlyn give him a trim..Ashlyn didn't want to do it at first but Bj convinced her to! so that just goes to tell ya ....that grandpa....he's not right!!! When I got home I decieded that I was done. I chilled out on the couch with BJ and Jonathan and did nothing...well, a little laundry but that was about it.

Sunday:
We went to church then went to gmas to eat dinner. Mom went home and got the kids easter baskets so that they could "practice for the easter egg hunt" on easter. So, BJ went and hid the eggs and the kids found em. They had so much fun!! I can tell that Alexander is going to be the baseball batter because Ashlyn would put an egg in the bird feeder that bub couldn't reach and he would swing the basket and hit the feeder to knock it down...smart kid!! This went on for maybe 5-7 mins. Kids are a hoot, then the kids went out and hid the eggs so that mommy & daddy could find them. Jonathan and I went back inside so we counldn't cheat and then came out when they were done. Well, when we go out they start directing us to the eggs!!! They were so excited that we were doing a good job finding the eggs!! Cracked us up! On the way home for gg's I notice that my abs light comes on...just what I need. I come home and try to call bj to come over and check it for me and my cellphone has no service...Enough! I am tired of dropping calls and not getting the svc. I need, I go to call their customer service to see whats up and they tell me 5-10 mins to speak to a person, ok...next I try getting online to get the phone number to the store and talk to a human there....wrong number, call another store, they can't help give me another number yadayada.....rings off the hook...no answer.....get in J's car, go to clarksville, get to sprint, wait 10 minutes, am told that i need to update...(ahhhhh) get phone updated, go back home, bj checks brakes...need brake fluid...get in J's car, go to store, come back...mess with car...light is still on..oh well...argue with myself and J about who is going to the grocery..he won, I had to go..load up with so much I can barely fit it in 1 cart, get back in the car, call J to see if ashlyn is ready for Cubbies because it starts in 2 minutes (we always 6:30 instead of 6) come home with load of groceries, load up sis in J's car after getting her to shovel the rest of her dinner down so she won't be hungry and head off to church. Come home to find J in the kitchen with Bj making a mess. Do some laundry, clean up after dinner J made, get bub settled down and wait for sis to come home. She gets home and is bouncing off the walls...they go to bed late and I go to bed even later......are these things normal..I feel like I live in a nut house sometimes...run run run!!

Monday evening was filled with stress!!
After work I go to Home Depot for more paint....I came back with mini blinds, new shelf for laundry room, door knobs, new paint brush, swatches for ashlyn & bubs room at the new house and a tool that removes paint on the floor (I'm really bad at trim)...oh, and a new lamp for Ashlyn's room!! so cute! Yeah, paint is expensive...so, I get home and dinner is ready, kids have eaten..yadayadayada...I convence J to take the kids to his moms and let me stay and get things done...so I did!! Hung the mini blinds, put the lamp together, tested tool for paint removal, laundry, tidy up my room...Hang the shelf.....THATS where it got stressful...I try to be lil ms. handywoman, keyword try, so..I get my anchors and my drill and my screw and my instructions and everything ready to hang this stupid shelf...this would probably be a 5 min job for anyone but me...I finally get it done, put my laundry room supplies on it (did I mention that it is a laundry shelf? Keep in mind I already had it painted so I'm being sooo careful not to mess up) and the two screws on one side fall out. I got MAD!! Everything came crashing down and my Oxy Clean Tub broke so there was a huge mess....It was hanging there by 2 screws...So, what do I do....rip it out of the wall and throw it at the other wall and continue to yell at it the whole time! STUPID, but I was over it! I didn't get the shelf hung, but I got the mess cleaned up..patched all the screw holes and fixed the scrape where I threw my hissy fit.
I ended up being mad at the world and ruining the night for both me and J. This house is going to be the death of me!!!! I apologized....and will get the shelf hung soon!

Kiddos are off to Granny and Popps for the night so that I can be at my meeting tomorrow at 7am. so I am off to bed! Sorry its so long, I'll have pics tomorrow...or later if i find my other batteries
