Today

has been no-stop! I swear I have not had five minutes to myself. So my plan for this morning was to take Joe to the bus stop and rush back to get the girls ready to go to my meeting. Well sitting at the bus stop I get a call from the school and the bus had a flat tire so I don't have time to take Joe all the way to school and get back in time to get the girls ready and get to my meeting on time. So...I take Joey back home, get the girls and myself ready, bags packed and rush to drop Joe off to school . I do manage to make it to my meeting right as it's starting. Now, Allie and Julie were supposed to go with sitters they provided. Oh let me back up, my meeting was a training seminar for policy council at Joe's school, I was on policy council last year and this was my second training seminar. So back to the sitters. Julianna was great, went right with the sitters, played and had a wonderful morning. Allie, screamed...screamed so much I heard it down the hall. I went and got her from the sitters and fought her for 5 hours trying to keep her silent and happy while people are trying to learn (I thought about leaving numerous times, but the seminar was mandatory so I didn't have much choice). Thank God, I had bought snacks or she would have been impossible! Most of the meeting I was shuffling in and out trying to get Allie calmed down or asleep (I didn't have to really pay to much attention since I had been through it before...thank GOD!). So lunch time came and they bought Julianna in to eat with me. As soon as she saw me she RAN up to me full speed across a crowded conference room screaming MOMMY, THERE YOU ARE! I MISSED YOU and bear hugged my leg. Everybody bust out laughing, it was really cute! And to my surprise she had used the potty TWICE! She will NOT use the potty for me so I was impressed (now that I know she will do it potty training will be in full swing!). After we ate Julianna went back with the sitters and I sat through 2 more hours of seminar, fighting Allie the entire time! Toward the end I had Allie laying down in my lap and I got a good look in her mouth, her two front teeth are breaking through...so that is probably the meaning of all her screaming and discomfort. After the seminar ended I went and picked Joe up from school and went to Wal-Mart. In case you didn't know, 3 kids (2 who insist on walking) is never much fun in a crowded store! It's exhausting just getting them all in and out the car! Oh and Joey's news today..."My Grandpa is Jim Lloyd". We are on week 4 with no mommy news, I don't saying anything to him I'm just keeping a mental note and harping on the fact that I must be a horrible mom if I'm never worth mentioning in his news. Why are mothers are always taken for granted?!?! Now we are home and I'm doing laundry...tons of laundry that has been stacking up because I'm never home anymore to do it! But the good news is...MY SISTER FLIES IN TOMORROW! Yes, Kristy her husband and my niece (who I've never met!!!) are flying in tomorrow afternoon! I CAN NOT wait! So I know I've been neglecting pictures but there will be plenty tomorrow! Oh but before I get to see my sister I have a 9:00 meeting and Julianna has an 11:00 therapy session...see what I mean? And Christina I know I didn't get to call you today...I'm sorry :( I'll try to get a hold of you tomorrow!
