A Day

Wow once again it has been awhile....
Should I write about what has been happening lately or should it be about just today? I will start with today to get it out of me and then go on with other things if I am still awake. Woke up this morning around 6 AM for a silly little baby that just doesn't sleep through the night. Went back to sleep again around 7AM for about a half hour til the 3 year old beast child woke up. We slowly got dressed and I looked through pictures that I needed to mail to my sister in law by the end of today. Finally jumped in the Durango around 10:30. Before going to Walmart to make copies of pictures, I had a strange feeling to see Grandma C first. I knock on the front door and it looks like Grandma was in a boxing match with Tyson and didn't win.

She tells me that she fell flat on her face. Her glasses had hit her around the eyes. She also caught herself a little with her arms (which were also black and blue) Naughty grandma didn't tell anyone about it....until later when one of her friends had visited her and called my mom..."Grandma fell today, just thought you should know". Anyways mom wasn't to pleased with grandma. (Grandma told me I could put this pic on the blog)



I tell grandma I have to leave to Walmart and she wants to go with me. So why not? While I am copying pics, Collin is throwing his shoes by kicking them off and baby Quintin is screaming because the cart isn't moving. Once I place my order there is a sign about 10 feet away from everything saying that the one-hour machine is broken so I can't pick them up til tomorrow (Sorry sister in law but I will have to mail them tomorrow)

We finally get out of Walmart and sweet grandma c offers to buy us lunch from Sonic. We get food and take it to grandma's house. After lunch, I go in the back room to look at all of the cool 80's flicks and come back out 5 minutes later. "Grandma, where is Collin?" ......She says she hasn't seen him. I check everyroom in the house, the backyard, the garage....the front door. I hear a low rumbling noise, and there is my sweet angel child sitting in the driving seat of the Durango with the engine turned on, trying to work the stick shift. That was 3 strikes for the boy. He had stolen my keys, snuck out of the house and started my car. After a small moment of "thank you god, he isn't hurt and hasn't hurt anybody" I pull him out of the car, a few firm pops on the rear and a full 20 minute time out in Grandma's hallway.

We go home....finally nap time. I needed this nap. In 5 minutes Quintin is out. In about 15 minutes Collin is out. In 3 more minutes, mommy is out. In less than 30 minutes Collin decides that nap time is over and wakes up the baby who then wakes up mommy. Needless to say, Collin spent most of the afternoon in his room playing away from mommy. My good friend comes over around 6PM and offers to watch the boys while I take a walk to gather my brain into one piece again. It was a nice walk but I didn't take full advantage of the time she offered....for some reason Collin is very mean to her. No idea why. So I walk around the block and hurry back.

Finally 8PM. Bedtime. Collin is in bed, I watch transformers with my friend. Quintin decided he was over tired and didn't go to sleep til about 10PM. At 11, it is time for bed for mommy. I go to tell Joe goodnight. Just as I was about to leave the office I look up to see Collin standing at the doorway throwing up everywhere.....I start cleaning the floor, Joe cleans the kid. I go in the bedroom and there is a wonderous trail leading all the way to the bed where there are several lakes of turkey, mozerella, pickles, and cucumbers. After cleaning and then dealing with Collin puking one last time, he is sent to bed....

So here I am blogging in the middle of the night waiting for my little man to go to sleep so that I might get a little sleep before the baby wakes up. Well off to bed , I will blog soon about more fun and meaningful events later.
