A Long Week With Some Pictures

What was a peaceful yet busy Easter, turned crazy when just as we were relaxing for the night, we receive a phone call from Glenn's brother saying he was coming over to visit and he was bringing the babies and his ex-girlfriend (babies' mama). He arrived around the same time Lil' Miss was needing to be in bed. My vacuum had just died and my house was rather messy. Oh yeah, and Lil' Miss's coach called to say we had our first real game the following night, which just added to the chaos. Glenn was already in bed with a migraine and I needed to go to bed, as I had an early start the next day, with school resuming and then going into work earlier than usual.

We worked all day and never really got to visit. Monday afternoon, Glenn, Tracie, James and Matt were going to WWE Raw, so they were going to miss her first game.


Grandma went to her sister's house to remember their late mom's birthday. And Josh was taking Leann home, since she had to work the next morning but would return later that night with the kids so they could stay the week with us.

Tuesday was filled with chores that needed catching up on and errands that needed running. The day ended with a LONG overdue talk between Glenn and I, after a major blow up and breakdown in front of everyone. Nice.

Wednesday was another long work day, but it was also Grandma's birthday, so we took her out to eat then over to her sister's house where we spent several hours visiting and eating birthday CAKES.


Glenn enjoyed catching up with his cousins but stopped long enough to pose with mom.


After getting home really late, and putting the kids all to bed, more cleaning and chores were in order, if we were going to be ready for the next day.

Thursday was an extremely long day, as Glenn and I both had to work much later than scheduled. This made running home to get Lil' Miss ready for her second game a bit crazy.


Squeezing in a few extra errands on Thursday proved stressful, as did another visit from Glenn's brother and ex-GF who on top of everything else asked to borrow gas money so they could drive back home THAT night so they would be able to pick up paychecks early Friday morning. This was after asking me to buy diapers because they forgot to bring some extras. Grrrr......"let it go" I tried to tell myself.

Friday, yet another busy crazy day at work followed by a short visit with the brother. Sick kids prevented us from getting grandkid pics taken, and having cranky bratty kids is not what I needed when my week-long headache kicked it up a notch. Tension was thick and pleasantries tough.

Saturday found me up and doing odd cleaning jobs after barely 3 hours sleep. New problems kept arising and I barely finished what I had started before having to leave for a meeting at work. (Which actually was the best meeting ever.) More chaos followed and I really needed a break. Playing with Tracie's camera, I managed to catch Lil' Miss in a cheery silly mood.


But all in all, it was worth it to come to today and have such a refreshing peaceful day. This must be what "normal" people who work 6 days a week must go through, and why they enjoy simple Sundays.


Lil' Miss was gorgeous as ever and really seemed to enjoy the long car ride almost as much as she liked playing with the flowers and running wild at the Nature Reserve.


With only one more day off to do some stuff around the house, I've got a feeling it's gonna be another long week, but not nearly as busy or hectic.
