Ugh! Friday started out rough! All three of my kids either had a tantrum this morning as we were trying to get out the door or caused me to have one. Then I got downtown to work, which is not my normal location, and I checked my schedule for the down only to realize that I needed to be at a different location that afternoon. I was super crabby. Not a good way to start the day.
Nonetheless, I had a fairly productive morning at work, and my friend, Lisa suggested we go to Buca for lunch. Yummy, bread and cheese and marinara make everything right with the world. Or it at least made me feel better. (Yes, food therapy. I was working, so wine wasn't an option!) The afternoon went well after that.
The kids had a fun afternoon too. Matt sometimes does an event with the alumni band called Hyper Friday. Traditionally this event was held the Friday before the MI game. Hyper Friday is when the alumni band travels around town in a charter bus and plays music at area businesses, bars, and schools. I rode along one year when Matt and I were dating, and it was a BLAST! There might also be some adult beverages consumed throughout the day. Anyway, since they moved the MI game to the week of Thanksgiving, they have since had to move Hyper Friday to the week before, which is right before the Michigan State game. Not as cool, but whatever. There is much more that could be said about this shift in weeks, but this isn't the blog for that commentary. For this very long story made even longer...Matt got our school on the schedule this year for Hyper Friday. So the alumni band stopped and played some songs (kind of like a mini pep rally) at the kids' school. The alumni cheerleaders traveled with the band too. Matt said the girls were both proud as peacocks! When I picked the kids up from school later that day, the teachers commented to me how much fun it was and how much the kids loved it.
Emma was at daycare/preschool today. When I picked her up, she had marker all of her nose. The teacher said they were smelling the markers. Nice. My kid is sniffing markers in preschool. She washed her face off, and we left to start our evening, which was full of chores. Nothing fun. But I wanted to get everything done so that we could enjoy our weekend. So we went to Target to Laura some shoes for tomorrow. She has her first Reconciliation. It's a big day! Then we went to Kroger to get groceries for the week. It wasn't horrible since I really didn't need too much this week. I did a pretty big run last week at Kroger and Sam's Club to restock my supplies.
We still didn't get home until almost 8:00pm. I unloaded groceries, and the two older girls went upstairs for a shower. I gave Emma some food out the fridge. Then I gave her the ipad and put groceries away. Then I went upstairs to put laundry away. The girls picked up the living room, and they all went to bed. Busy night!
I wish I could remember some Emma quotes from today. She was hilarious. Whenever she doesn't like something I'm doing or saying, she let's out a big sigh and then says, "You're kidding me!"
This morning Emma and Hannah were done getting ready, and they were waiting on me to finish up before going downstairs. Well Hannah goes up to Emma and says, " Hey Emma, wanna wrestle?" And Emma gets an ornery grin on her face and says, " OOOh Yea!" and spins Hannah around. It was so funny to watch!
Another week in the books. Sorry no pictures today. Just too chaotic. I'll make up for it tomorrow! Check out Team Whitaker at http://teamwhitaker.org/ for more WIML 2015. See you tomorrow :) Go Bucks! Beat Sparty!
