What a day

Wordless was the least of my day yesterday. It was one of those long days. That night I only had 4 hours of sleep. Don't you hate it when you wake up an hour before your gonna get up? Well I do cause I can't go back to sleep knowing I have to be up soon. So I was up at 5 waiting for 6 to roll around. Then I was up the pre-teen wanted my help with his hair. He's growing it out AGAIN. It's finally long enough to run the straightener through his hair. This summer I will get him his own. That way I won't have to get up to help him. Since I was up already I decided to start my day. I checked my email, got on a few sites and heard from the HMIC. When the kids left for school I decided to take my shower while the little ones were asleep. Then the teenager sends me a text that he missed the bus. So there goes my shower. I skipped that part and just got dressed. Now I have to get the little ones up early and get them dressed. Once the teenager gets home he informs me that he lost his envelope for his fundraiser. I had just handed him $30 when he left for my tickets. Not only does this kid need a ride now, he also needs more money. Now I've dished out $90 bucks $30 for my tickets and $60 to replace the tickets and money he lost. The teenager tells me not to worry he will pay me back. With no job it's hard to pay someone. The teenager says don't worry mom I'm gonna sell the games I don't use anymore. To which I reply oh you mean the ones we bought with our money. And of course the envelope was just in his back pocket, not in his backpack like it should of been. We stopped at walmart to get the teenagers tubes for their bikes and a helmet for the little big boy. The little big boy was so excited he wore the helmet most of the day yesterday. I get home and start on some chores. The little big boy was dying to try out his helmet so we went outside for a while. That was till a bee kept going after the little diva. Inside we go after that. I start on dinner while I wait for the maintenance guy to show up. That's one perk for living on base. You can call someone and they will send someone over to fix the problem. I no longer have to wait on the HMIC to fix something. They even changed my porch lights and oven light. The little big boy thought that was the perfect time to go to the playground while I was distracted with the maintenance guy. Off to the playground I go for a toddler wearing a helmet. Then battle him over time out. After that I worked on some projects. I had started spray painting a small table I had but ran out of paint. The can didn't have that much in it but I knew I had a new can. If you saw the way our garage looks you'd understand why I didn't find the can. The teenager lets me know I will be giving two friends a ride. The HMIC's truck is still packed from his office junk so I had to make room(I'm using the trunk for now it didn't want to start right up from sitting there). I put all his junk on other stuff in the garage but I found that new can of spray paint. OFF to finish my project I go. By then it was time to go for the teenager. As I was leaving I realized my stickers were expired. I had forgotten to put the new ones on. By the time I found them and put them on I was a little late picking them up. As I backed up I heard some noise and stopped. When I went to look it was the little big boy's tricycle.

That's right!! I ran it over with the HMIC's truck.

I felt so bad the tricycle didn't stand a chance. The little big boy had just gotten his new helmet. I threw the tricycle in the truck and left to pick up the boys. The HMIC had sent me to autozone as well for some stuff to put in the gas tanks. That crap was ten dollars a can and I needed three. When we got home the little big boy was looking for his bike. I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. So I lied and said someone took it. Now I need to replace a tricycle. Money spent in two days $210 just like that. So much for trying to pay things off while the HMIC is away. Does anyone have a money tree? If your wondering if I ever showered? Well it was midnight by the time I got to bed and had no energy for a shower. However this morning I did get a chance to take one. Not a nice relaxing one but a quick one. The little diva was already waiting on me to start her day.
