Momma Drama

Monday was an interesting day...........took Trent to school in the foggy rain, and picked him up in the same. Took a shower next door at the neighbors....how weird is that? The thought of having to take one more whore's bath will make you do some odd things I guess. Dave got home early enough that night for us to go to Home Depot after dinner for a hot water tank. I didn't want to go. Odd huh....me, not wanting to go to Home Depot. You'd think someone could handle buying a tank....alone, while I did constructive things around here. Like work on Devin's birthday costume. But really....I think I was just worried about missing my 8 pm date with Joe Rogan. ;) I bet he would be a hoot to go throw some darts and drink beers with..........*sigh*.........

Yesterday....Dave and Mr. J. got the tank in, up and running. Yay!!! Hot water rocks. The new tank is bigger so today I can actually do more than two loads of laundry back to back. Yipee, I think?!?! Went to my nail appointment yesterday, promptly busted one all to hell last night. We went to Meijers after dinner to get Devin's cake and some odds and ends. Don't you know I made Dave go with me. Tit for tat and all......;) Worked until late into the night on the old birthday costume........painted on the "S D" onto the shirt with gold glitter fabric paint, finished the hand sewing part of the gold lame underwear, started to zig zag around them one more time when the sewing machine started acting up. UGH!!! Still need to trouble shoot it today and get those gold superhero girlie pants done! Dave wrapped the other gifts.......monkey socks (big lover of monkeys she is...), her own scrapbook, a travel case of stickers, crayons, coloring books, paper, etc. (she is in an artsy fartsy stage...) and some gum. She has been waiting for this day for so long to try gum again. Hopefully she will keep it in her mouth and off of her coat this time....otherwise I'll switch my mantra to "Not until you are 5!!!"

Meanwhile, today...back at the farm....we are having one of "those" days. Devin is a tad sick with sinus/headcold issues but I swear to God.......her heffer-ness better be sickness related. If she thinks this is going to be some new twist of her personality, her and I will have to roll. Bunny is cutting 4 molars all at once right now and is in that "Dear God I better scream, mommy has left the room..." stage. Oy!! Couldn't wait to put folks down a little while ago for naps/quiet times. Forgot that I stripped the crib this morning.....Maiya decided to fill her pants while I remade it. Re-make...re-change. Stop the ride, I want to get off! I have about 10 loads of laundry to do today.....2 down, 8 to go. Today, of course, the dryer vent hose decided to disattach itself from the wall, and the dryer. The damn thing is so short to start with it's almost impossible to get it hooked back up. Maiya learned some new cuss words today out in the laundry room with me.

Took a break here for company. My girlfriend and Dh came by to bring Devin a gift....she was sweet as pie. And now they have left, along with Devin's manners. I need a day off, I'm not going to make it until my weekend in May! I have daycare scheduled for the 9th. Dave is off that day too. I promised myself that I will not do anything house related, or village related that day. We are going to lay around, order a pay-per-view movie, eat out, etc. A day off.....not a day off from the kids, but a day off!!!

Okay, I really need to work on those superhero pants...........and Grandma will be here soon. Still need to vacuum, and the laundy calls.

I'll post Devin's birth story later. :)
