So last night I decided to stay up and watch a movie with John after the kids went to bed. I did and it did not get over until after midnight. So I went to bed...
Now let me explain this next part, we live with my mother-in-law in her 3-bedroom home, so John and I have a room, the kids have a room, and Grandma has a room. So John was hospitalized for 3 weeks back at the end of January and most of February (with 1 week home in between). So since he has been home from the hospital he has his body clock all messed up and sleeps all day due to drugs and is up all night (because of sleeping all day) so I have been sleeping upstairs on the sofa bed with Miko (her bed broke about the same time and we have not been able to replace it yet)...
So I go up and get in bed (already made for Miko before watching movie). As I crawl into bed I realize that I can sleep in since church does not start until 11:00 a.m. Well I am sound alseep, dreaming when...... I am awakened by my mother-in-law laughing so hard she is choking on some food! I immediately sit up to make sure that she is not choking and look at the clock (by the way the TV is on and she is watching a movie) it is 6:30 AM!!!! I wanted to scream, but instead I make sure that she is okay and since I am startled awake my heart is pounding and I cannot in no way go back to sleep, so I sit up and watch the stupid movie that made her laugh so hard.
Next, Caddis comes out of his room at 6:45, saying that the mommy kitty is in their room (because Grandma let her in when she let Lucy (the black lab) out to go potty) and so he woke up Evanslee to take care of the situation. We do not "OWN" the mommy kitty or her baby we named Bullet, but we have adopted them to help with rodent control. Well Caddis is for some reason afraid of the cats and so has to have Big Sister take care of the cat so that he won't be afraid. So because of all of the noise now Miko wakes up and John comes up stairs to see what all the fuss is about. Definitely no way of going back to sleep now. Well we sit and finish watching the dumb movie. Then I decide since I am up I might as well make a nice breakfast for the family instead of just cold cereal. Breakfast goes along smoothly enough.
Then when I decide it is time to get ready for church and get the kids ready, I get the shower started for Evanslee and start getting the little ones dressed, and then get myself ready. Evanslee comes out of the shower and says "mom, how do you put curlers in your hair?" I asked why and she said "I want my hair curled for church!" I just about had a heart attack, my little TOMBOY wants CURLS! YIPEE!!!!! By this time it is about 1/2 hour before we have to be at church (I have to be their 1/2 hour early because I am the Ward Librarian and I need to be there for those that want to get their supplies and copies before church). So I am so excited that we CAN be LATE for church today. Well we do her hair and it looks beautiful. We were only 10 minutes late so not too bad.

The kids and I go to church (daddy and grandma stay home for medical reasons) and Sacrament Meeting was nice, but it was "DRY" Council day and so I had to concentrate on all of the talks so as not to fall asleep, if you know what I mean. Well I do my assignment after the meeting and then I have to go to Wal-Mart to pick up John's anti-nausea medicine, very uneventful. The worst part about that is that the pharmacy was NOT BUSY!!! I want to go every Sunday to pick up prescriptions (but I know it is just the devil tempting me) and not stand in line for like forever and a day. So I go back to church and back into the library for the changing of the classes and more supplies handed out and supplied returned. Then went to Relief Society and actually really enjoyed the lesson.
When we got home the Home teachers showed up shortly after and so we spent time with them and then I had to take Evanslee to her friend's birthday party. I came home, fed the little ones, and put them down for their naps. OHHHH how I wanted to take one, but if I did I would not be awake to pick her up. Now I have spent the rest of the evening playing on the computer, making dinner, and playing on the computer some more, hopefully I will be able to get to bed after 10:00 p.m. and get a good night sleep without interuptions, one can only dream.
