Stress, stress and more stress

I have determined that my stress will not subside until the New Year and there isn't much I can do about that.

I was hoping for a smooth week but no such luck. After the kids broke my halogen stand up lamp into a kazillion pieces, the next day we had another debacle.

I don't dry any of my work clothes. So Monday morning as I am getting ready, still half asleep at 5am, I go downstairs to pick my best Gap khakis to wear. I didn't have time to iron...I rarely do this anyway...so I throw the pants in the dryer to "fluff".

You might need some history to get the full picture here. What was in the dryer was a load of jeans. When I transferred the jeans to the dryer I found about 8 crayons (BLUE). Yes I am one of those bad moms that doesn't check pockets even though last year at this exact time our washer tore up and we had to get a new one due to Davis leaving little rocks and gravel and JUNK in his! Hey no judgement here...I do work 40 hours a week and have 3 kids and there are only so many hours in a day to get things done.

So anyway I thought I removed all of the crayons. When I took my favorite khakis out to put on (after only 5 minutes!!) they were completely blue polka-dotted. I was livid!!!!!!!!!!!

You can tell a little from this picture. After them soaking all day and then re-washing, most of it came out but not enough where I can wear them. :o(

On a different note, Jett is getting less tired in the evenings but still has his days. This is what he does...he falls asleep on the way home and I have to drag him inside (probably why I am having such bad back pain right now) and then he collapses on the stairs...

Pitiful isn't it????

So tonight I went shopping with my Grandma. We hit 3 stores and finally got me 3 pair of pants and 3 tops for work. Now I probably need to just wash these COMPLETELY separate from any kids clothes!!!! LOL

Tomorrow Duffer and I are both going on Jett's field trip to Appalachian Caverns so I will post pictures from that then. Then we are off to a big night of trick-or-treating with friends!!! We actually have a very busy weekend ahead of us so I will try to update a lot!

Pray for me...one of my friends at work asked me to take Senior pictures of her son this weekend. For those of you who know me, I get majorly nervous so pray it will go well. I am just doing this to help her. :o)

Happy Halloween!!!
