holiday hectic

This has been one of the most hectic weeks of all. I had 2 very large papers to write, a thanks giving dinner to make, and black Friday all in one week. I have got the grade back on one of my papers and I did extremely well. My dinner went good, I made a turkey and a few sides then took some turkey to my mom's house and picked up some sides from her. There are only 3 of us here and 2 at her house so there was no need for both of us to make a big dinner. Black Friday was great. Me, my mom, and my neighbor went out and scored on some great deals. We went to Walmart first which wasn't so bad. The bad part was that it snowed here and we had to stand outside another store for 3 hours. I have been fighting chest and head congestion for 2 weeks, needless to say, it is now worse. Anyway, that is my update for the week. I hope everyone had a happy and safe week.

another hectic week.

Another hectic week has passed. I spent 2 days running around with and for a friend of mine. First of all, her fiance went to jail one evening this week. I had to sit with her and her kids all evening so that I could help her make phone calls and watch her kids when she was on the phone. Then I had to come home (across the street), put my daughter in bed, take her to bail her fiance out of jail, take her to work, then bring him home before I could come home and go to sleep for the night. It was almost midnight by the time I got done with all of those errands.
The next morning I had to get up, take my daughter to daycare where she catches the bus to go to school. After that I went to work for a couple of hours. I couldn't work long because I had to take off to take my friend to the next town over to get her car out of impound. I had to run her to her fiances work to get money from him, take her to the PD to sign the paper, then I had to take her to the impound yard to drop her off. By this time it was about 3:20 and I had to be back in town to pick my daughter plus her two kids up from school. Keep in mind that her 2 kids go to 2 different schools and they both have to be picked up AT 4 o'clock. I drove as fast as I could without getting pulled over or being a danger to anyone.
That same night, the same friend received a phone call saying that her step daughter had been hurt and she needed to borrow my car to drive 3 towns in the other direction to take her to the doctor. While she was gone with my car, I watched her 3 kids for her. Yes, she has 3 children. She has 2 in school and one in a bassinet.
After that I swore that I was going to get 1 peaceful evening at home with just my fiance and my daughter. The very next day my phone rang nonstop. First I had a friend call and ask if I would keep her grand daughter over night for her because she had to work. About an hour later I get a phone call from yet another friend asking if I would watch her kids for about an hour. Not 20 minutes after I got off of the phone with he second friend, the first one called me back and asked if I would mind keeping her grandson as well because she couldn't find a sitter for him. So I went from having a quiet evening at home to having 5 kids running through my home.
If I don't get a quiet day soon, I think I will by a really big box of Calgon, pour it into my bathwater and ask it to take me far, far, far away. Things have not been so bad these last couple of days as far as my friends and kids are concerned. However, with all of these wedding plans and trying to get on the TV show, things are still hectic. Maybe for my honeymoon I will go away all by myself and just sleep for a week. That sounds nice.
BTW I don't know what time this is going to show as posted, but it is now 12:32 am on 11-17-2010 CT.

wow

This week has been a really big week for us. Last week we went and ordered our wedding rings. We went with a beautiful silver bridal trio. We had decided to forget about doing it next year and just get married this Friday evening at the city park. Monday morning we went to the courthouse before work and got our marriage license. While we were at work we got a phone call from the store saying that our rings were in. Then of all things, CMT (country music television) calls me out of no where and asks if me and my fiance had got married yet? We had contacted them a couple of years ago asking about their show. I told her that no, we had not got married yet but were planning to do so this Friday, but would now put it off. So now we have talked to the TV people a couple of times and we are in the middle of interviewing for a spot on a season 4 episode of “My Big Redneck Wedding”. Tomorrow we will get up, go to work, then we have to go to the mud bog site where we will be getting married and take footage of the area and send it to them so that they can make their decision. So, needless to say, everything in my house is turned upside down right now and friends are coming out of the wood works like you wouldn't believe.

another week another post

Well, I have made it through yet another week. I have worked everyday except for Saturday which is our family day and Sunday which is dedicated to church and worship. Monday was my bad day this week, I had to take my little girl to the doctor and spent the evening in the E.R. and was there most of the night. Yesterday was really relaxing ofter work. Today we got finished with our work, picked our daughter up from daycare, then went to church. My mother was supposed to go to church with us this evening but she had another migraine, she has had them constantly for the last 2 months. Saturday night I got engaged, we went and picked the rings out together and overall it was a great day. Other than that, there isn't a lot of new things going on. Leave me a comment and tell me how your week has gone.
