Day of Chaos

Today started off ok and then by the end of the day I was thinking....SERIOUSLY!!! I tried to reset the breaker on my room power but hat didn't work.

The kids weren't too happy when I told them we couldn't do anything until rooms were picked up (since some didn't quite get the memo on a clean room before the vacation), then daily chores. Then they got a quick break to play some Sonic. Then lunch and we put away all of Christmas. I was sad though because I couldn't find my winter box with all my snowman stuff. Where did it go?

The boys decided to stay home while Mom took the girls to run and get a few groceries. We got just a few things and on our way home there was a huge giant moon out. It was beautiful but we couldn't get a good picture with our phones. It was lighting up the sky. We got home and I started dinner.

We were all so excited because it was broccoli cheese soup. I started it and ran to the bathroom then forgot to check on it. Of course it started to smell and I burnt the soup. So we had chili dogs instead but the kids were ok because they like that too.

I tried my power again in my room and noticed the lights in the freezer weren't working in the garage. Well guess what...the power was out in the garage too (plugs only) and all the food including: chicken wings, 2 packs of sausage, 4 packs of bacon, large turkey, hamburger cow meat, 3 tilapias packs, 3 ducks, pork tenderloin ($50 big one), 2 blocks of cheese, 2 sandwich meat packs, 2 packs of tortillas, 25 apples, 2 packs of steaks, 4 packs of pork chops, 2 veggie packs, tator togs, french fries, whole milk gallon, and greek yogurt (big pack). It was probably over $300 worth of food put into 4 bags and it was all ruined.

Then I was already feeling like today was crazy so I thought lets get everything inside. So I did this after I got the boys into bed. They went to bed a little late but went right to sleep. We got everything inside and then the living room looked like a bomb went off. I was putting Isabella's kennel together and realized I may have thrown away the front piece that closes the kennel. I was positive I put it in Trigger's kennel when I was layering them together to save space. So I called my Mom and sure enough their garbage day was today and it was gone. At least we can still use it and put her against a wall. She is small enough she can't push it to get out.

As I finally sat down I couldn't find my work bag and it was just under my feet or my computer bag and it was sitting right next to me. Maybe I needed a bath but I decided after getting the girls in bed to watch "Where the Heart Is". This is one of my favorite shows.

I was feeling like the day is just about over and I got a message from my Mom that President Monson had passed away. He was such an example of love and Christlike characteristics. He will be missed but I know that his reunion with his sweetheart was a happy one. One of my kids favorite things is how much he loved everyone and would wave to everyone as he walked out of every General Conference session. We always watched until we saw him leave. You will be missed!!

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
