This past week has been NOTHING but Chaos! Mike went back to working overtime this week so we were very limited on seeing him. The most the kids seen him was Monday night when I had my MK meeting. The rest of the week with me and the kids 24/7 was pure Craziness! Olivia and Channing did nothing but nitpick on each other. Gavin is trying to get some more teeth in so he was more cranky then usual. Keeping up with the housework, cooking, keeping the kids satisfied, finding time for myself when they went to bed. Olivia has been going through these really bossy phases and she acts as though she is in charge. She bosses Channing around and tells him to do things to get him into trouble. Last night, they were eating dinner and I could hear Olivia whisper to channing to throw some of his food. By the time I got them showers and baths I was exhausted. I put them to bed at 7pm and it wasn't until after midnight that Mike got home. He came in the house with his hand wrapped in his shirt and he was hunched over. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "What did you put in the trash can? I just cut my finger pretty deep." The only thing I knew of was the vegetable can and lid... He said he was shoving the trash into the outside can and cut himself. I didn't know how bad the cut was until I seen his shirt and it was soaked in blood. I lost it and started crying. I was just overwhelmed with everything going on and now I thought for sure Mike would need to get stitches. He ended up wrapping it tight with a bandage after cleaning it up and he said he was fine. I felt horrible. He later gave me a big hug and said he understood my week. I was greatful for that. sometimes being a full time parent is hard. It's so nice when you can have the breaks in between. You need breaks in between or else you start to lose your sanity. I was very thankful that today was a better day! The kids and I joined our playgroup for some fun play time at the park! This weeked will be fun! Mike is watching the kids in the A.M so that I can get out and shop for a few hours by myself! Then later I'm dropping the kids off at mom's house around 3 pm and Mike, Zak and I are headed out for some karaoke! We deserve to go out every once in a great while! It will be fun! I hope the kids enjoy their time with their grandparents!

The kids are going to Tues. morning kids again this summer through our church! Tues mornings from 10 am to 12 they sing songs, make crafts, play games and have a blast! Last week they got to make Home made ice cream, they got to tye dye bandanas and make cookies from a cardboard oven!
