another Monday

Well as I sit here thinking of all the things I need to do I decided to journal instead. Sometimes that is just a huge stress relief to my day. Today was another day, Lainey and Hailee both had school today, and after I took them I decided to go to the Girl Scouts shop and get a couple of books. Little did I know it was so far away. Garrett and I set off at 8:45 and didn't return home until after 10am. It was a long journey and i was ever so tired this morning, so when I put Garrett down for his 11am nap i laid down as well. It was nice to take a nap, I really needed it! After we woke up and ate lunch we went to get the the girls. Then off to the store. Kroger has baskets for the kids and the girls had a great time pushing their baskets around and filling them with groceries. It made me glad I waited and took everyone to the store with me, they were good although I am sure my ankles from Lainey running over them don't agree. Then we came home the girls played outside for a while and then we read a few books before Michael got home then I was off to a leader meeting for Girl Scouts. Then i got trained to sell nuts. Girl Scouts is big into training, they train for everything. I guess that is good and if it were not me doing the training I would feel great with the fact that the leaders are trained so well. I am meeting some nice people through this adventure although I feel like it is consuming alot of my life right now. Tomorrow we will have a parents meeting and I will go over with the parents what I want and expect for the year and what I hope their girls will get out of Scouting. I hope I can be a good leader. After the meeting I came home to a total disaster, the house looked like a tornado (or 3) had gone through it. I don't understand how they do that when Michael is here and not when I am here. Well I guess I know the answer to that. The kitchen well it also looked like a tornado had hit it, and its name was Michael. LOL Bless him for cooking dinner and feeding the kids but man was it a mess. So of course I got on his case which I guess I should be grateful that he tried and lay off and although I know that I cant help myself. I know he feels like I am a nag and I hate to be that way. I just want a clean house, it makes me feel good. Now if I could just get the carpet clean. That would be great! I hate the carpet in this house. I found a house down the street that I love! It has the same floor plan as ours, but it has pergo downstairs, and color on the walls. It has a fenced backyard, and a swing set. Oh how I wish we could buy it. I am looking for a job that I can work while Michael is home, if you have any ideas that would be great. I am open to all ideas. Well i guess that is all for tonight. Thanks for checking on us, till next time. Remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love, today is gone and tomorrow may never come.......................
