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.
