Don's Departure Day 1

Ok so after my lovely vacation you would think that I would be all rested and rejuvenated and ready to take on my life again. Uh no,not so much. Today Don left for 1 solid week-yes folks 6 whole nights and 7 whole days. I barely made it through this day-ok I am typing this after telling my kids to go to bed for the hundrenth time and I hear the peaceful sounds of slamming doors, running feet, and screaming-whether they are fighting or laughing I don't really care at this point. Not to mention the fact that Cayden fell and scraped his knees up pretty good tonight clomping around the neighborhood in Caleb's size 17 cowboy boots so I have very large bed bug to keep me company tonight. On the bright side I only have 6 whole days to go before Don gets home. Do you ever feel like on the days that you are trying the hardest that they suck the most? I won't even go into detail about my level of frustration at my kids, myself, the wind-aaarrrggghhh, and my neck pain. I even read my scriptures AND said my prayers, AND read the Relief Society lesson-although it wasn't the right one but I get points for trying right? Plus I was ready for church before the kids got up, I made a lovely breakfast and all the while had the Mo-tabs softly serenading us the back ground. Sometimes like today I wonder why I even bother. So now that I have complained and whined to all those of you who are my dearest friends I will tell you what I am going to do about it.
1.I made 72 mini cupcakes with frosting AND sprinkles. The boys even delivered some to the neighbors-service should perk me right up right?
2. I have eaten about 10 of said mini cupcakes and will probably go sneak another one (who am I kidding here at least 3 more) before I turn out the light.
3. We had frozen pizza for dinner.
4. I am going to watch another cheesy episode of Beauty and the Beast-remember that from forever ago-Vincent my hero!
5. I am going to say my prayers.
5. I am going to take a muscle relaxer.
and last but not least probably one of the more important things I will do is I will start my 21 Days Closer to Christ book because it is exactly 21 days before Easter. I have wanted to do this for a few years but I always remember like the day before Easter and the experiment would not be very effective if I crammed 21 days into 24 hours. So for those of you who had a sucky day like me, run to Deseret Book tomorrow and grab a copy of 21 Days Closer to Christ or wait until next Sunday after seeing if you can find the 14 Day Walk With Christ that is floating around on the internet, make yourself sick on mini cupcakes-they aren't as fattening as the big ones, watch a cheesy episode of some dumb TV show, take a pill and say your prayers hoping that tomorrow will be better. Deep breath hmmm-I feel a tad bit better and to think that I was seriously considering calling my therapist tomorrow. Another bonus-by ranting to all of you I just saved myself $100. Thanks a million!
