Waited too long again

We'll start off with a little kid humor. I was sitting here paying my bills when in a matter of about 3 seconds, Bo walks in, yanks down his undies and asks "did I wipe good enough?" Now imagine him with his little hands back there pulling apart his butt cheeks. Nice. Then he says "I only have a little poop on my finger." He's washing now.

Friday
Friday was a doozy. The big kids had to be at Youth Conference at 5:30, the play kids had to be at practice at 5:30 and Chelsey had a performance at 5:30. Did I mention that Glade and I were leaving for an event at 4:30? thanks to my oh-so-dependable mom, everyone got to where they needed to be. Along with 4 other couples, we went to an event called Time Out for Couples. A 3 hour presentation about marriage. We all rode in our van and went to dinner first. That's when the craziness began. I won't go into detail, but I was having some girl issues beyond description. This was very distracting to what was supposed to be a great night. That's the other thing, the event was very disappointing. It was OK, but not what I had expected. The music guy was awful. I say that nicely, but it's nothing I would ever choose to listen to. We got ice cream then headed home. Got home about 11:30. In a tired rush to take care of my earlier issues, I washed my brand new cell phone. Sigh.

Saturday
The craziness continues. Glade and the big kids had to be at a service project at 6:45 am and the play kids had a performance at 9:30. Rhett missed scout day camp and we all missed Kelsey's baptism. bummer. Whitley had to be at play practice by 12:30, she was half an hour late. Chelsey had a choir concert the same time as the afternoon part of youth conference. She spent much of the afternoon crying. She was tired, frustrated and just plain stressed. I felt bad for her. Whitley went straight from play practice back to youth conference. They had classes then a dinner by Carrabbas. After that was testimony meeting. That always gets my girls going. Nick got to go as a special request by me to the bishop. He's not 14 yet, but close, so they let him go. I thought it would be good for him.
After all the afternoon craziness, I headed out to get a new cell phone. (which I paid a pretty penny for) After that, I wandered over to Kirkland to look for a bunko gift. Nothing like Kirkland to put you in the Christmas spirit! I was in no hurry so I just wandered around looking at all the pretty things and enjoying the smells. I still had 3 stops to make but it was all good because 99.9 had already started playing Christmas music! It was the best 2 hours all to myself.

Sunday
Nothing too exciting, typical Sunday. Dinner was great, yummy roast and potatoes. Lots of family showed up. We even got to watch a couple's kids that are in our ward while they went to temple prep classes. That was fun. The weather was chilly with a lot of wind. Glade, Chelsey and Whitley felt yucky all day. The kids had a fireside to wrap up youth conference at 7. Stephen got to go to this one. They all came back and said it was great. Glade went to bed early and I got some reading in. The anticipation of the crazy weekend was worse than the actual weekend, for me at least!

Sidenote - I had to type this whole thing twice because when I hit publish, it went into all sorts of crazy computer lingo. Grrrr.
