when every day is 'one of THOSE days' .

it's that time of year when every day is 'one of THOSE days' .

if you wanna know where I've been all day... here you go. it's RIVETING I TELL YOU!

i anticipate a slower day tomorrow (really today). like wrapping gifts with 6 kids , each in turn. Of course i don't know why I'm bothering because some of them came right home and told the others what they got for everyone. or gave hints so obvious everyone guessed immediately. at that point why wrap?

i just don't know where they get that from? *shifty eyes*

but i'm getting ahead of myself. it starts right here....

tuesday started off earlier than I'd like,i woke up with me wedged between my 3 and 5 year old. who only wanted to be with mom. meaning i was squished while dad was luxuriating all alone on his side of the bed while i shared my pillow and blankets with 2 other people, who like to sleep with their knees in my back and ribs and rest their head on my arm making it go numb.

the maid came at 8 freakin' AM while i was really aiming to sleep in thoroughly, i didn't get to.

i took the LAST of the christmas cards to the post office, promptly ran out of stamps, drove to my mom's to beg one instead of go wait in line to use the machine.

drove back to the post office and mailed 1 card.

hit the grocery store for lunch stuff and stocking fruit. (you put fruit in yours right? what kind?)

orange or apple in the toe, banana.

ah, paid the maid and left with 1 child alone to shop for the siblings.

shopped

came home dropped off and picked up another child.

shopped.

you get the picture. the process was repeated 5 times. (i took Pierce with Peyton)

and by the time i came home it was dark. dinner needed made and instead i showered and went to a movie. YEAH I DID! it was rad. totally no one there, i saw "did you hear about the Morgans?". I liked it, i laughed, i relaxed. sure i have loads to do. but it was either run away from home or go to bed early. nothing else was getting done today.

i came home late to messes all over. it seems pierce experimented with butter and mustard, whipped cream and orange rolls, gain detergent and diet Pepsi. yes. that's what i came home to. imagine my delight. UGH!

the hubs came in and dealt with the messes.

i picked up and wiped down. and the house isn't disgusting. having that maid come this morning was SO WORTH IT. let me tell ya. it's what i get for escaping.

and finally i had a minute to chat with the hubs. we only checked in enough to say "send the next one out"

how do you work your shopping with the kids for eachother?

how did your family do it when you were growing up?

What's the last movie you saw and how did you like it?

do you have any movie plans/traditions for this weekend?
