The title doesn't do this next story justice.
So yesterday, Ryan went hunting and the kids stayed with their grandparents all day and night so that left me ALL ALONE for a while ( insert smiley face )
Well the ONLY problem with this is that I don't sleep when Ryan's not in the house, I just cannot. So I did a lot of painting on our bedroom, did lots of laundry and cleaning til I passed out at 5:00 Am, YES 5:00 am and was woken up at 9:00 am or a little after, the kids were ready to come home.
I got the kids, did some errands and came home at about 11:00am.
We were home for about NOT EVEN 15 minutes and I start smelling this sweet smell. A few minutes later Hurley comes running down the stairs with a pink shirt wrapped around him in which I assuming Ava is trying to dress him for one reason or another. 30 seconds later here comes Ava trompin down the stairs chasing Hurley and shouting " Hold still, we have to do pictures ! "
The craziness has started. So Ava gets distracted by the tv and sits down and I keep smelling this sweet sickly smell. I looked at Ava and asked " What is that ? "
Ava: " I put perfume on Hurley, he's having portraits done. "
Me: " Please don't do that, the WHOLE house smells now and Hurley just had a bath the other day ! "
Ava : " well mom, you can't have pictures done if you don't smell nice !"
So all that before noon today !
So it's 9:30pm an guess who still smells like a Macy's perfume counter ? YES the DOG !
Over all we had a good day, just me and the kids, had to raise my voice once and one time had to pull the car over, put the flashers on and I didn't say a word to them until they told me they were ready to act like the children I know they can be.
Christmas was good, not as big as last year but Ryan and I decided we would do what's called second chance Santa, that end of January they could get the one thing they wanted that they didn't receive. Logan and Ava assured us everything they got was great, no need for anything else !
It's almost 10:00pm and I am exhausted from all the moving and cleaning, playing and errands today and I even cleaned out the family truckster and vacuumed it today !
I hope you all have a great week coming up, it's a short work week for me !!!!
