Yeah well its not what you think. When the cats away the mice do not play! The mice go CRAZY their world flips upside down! I am NOT kidding NOTHING entertaining exciting or crazy happens when JT is home... or maybe it does I just dont notice the stuff that happens when he is home because with help it doesnt seem so crazy!
So JT went back to work a few days ago and his first day back went surprisingly well. That is until about hmm about 7pm. It was dinner time 5:30 or 6pm and I had nothing to cook. Sooo... I packed up the girls and ran to the store. I had one of my friends kids over to play so we ran her home and went to a grocery store on the other side of town... not our usually grocery store. Not a big deal. Just a normal errand. The girls were a bit more antsy then normal because of course with Easter just past they have candy up to their ears to eat, but for the most part nothing major. So once in the store things got a bit crazy... the isles were half the size of our regular store. It was packed with people and I am claustrophobic. Did I mention the girls had consumed SUGAR! Ok whatever no big deal I can handle this. I went about my chore grabbing dinner and some necessity items. I Check out... so the first issue I had was that I left my atm in the car and since I would not be walking out there with all three girls and back I quickly thought no biggie Ill put it on a credit card and just pay it when I get home. Ok Phew! we survived the store! Or so I thought!
When we got home I settled the girls in and put dinner on. After I was all finished I went to grab my phone to make a quick call to JT to say "Hey we are about to sit down for dinner we are all alive and well but we will be calling a little later then normal to say good night." I couldnt do that because I could not find my phone!! Last I had remembered having it was at the store walking out to my car it was in my pocket but between that and loading groceries, two children and a toddler into the car I lost track. I couldnt remember for the life of me if I had put it on top of the car when I put the baby in her car seat. So I started to freak out because I have some very precious moments on my phone that I had not yet emailed to my computer... I could always replace the phone but not the pictures. So of course being that JT wasnt home to keep the kids while I ran back to the store to see if anyone had turned it in I had to turn off dinner packed all three kids BACK up into the car and head BACK ACROSS TOWN to try and find my phone. I was unsuccessful it was not smashed in the parking lot and no one had turned it in to the lost and found. Mind you, I also had some weirdos follow me and the girls around the entire store so of course I start thinking these guys found my phone and now they have ALL my !info! thanks to my FB and Twitter apps. I started to panic but when I remembered I could make calls from my computer through my email I ran home to call JT via the computer and gave him the run down. Of course he had all kinds of suggestions for me but he had no clue I had looked everywhere, drove everywhere, walked everywhere looking for it... all with the girls (who have not yet eatin dinner and it is now 9 o clock) in tow. I had given up. God had it under control at least I kept trying to talk myself into this idea anyway. So I fed the girls called JT from the computer to say goodnight and put them down for bed. When we said our prayers Alisa said a special prayer that I find my phone because she is old enough to understand and she saw how upset I was over it all. So I closed their doors and thought I am going to retrace my steps one more time before I give up. So I unpacked the girls first and let them in the house then Anabelle and Alisa went over to Daisy on the side of the house and I unpacked groceries. I took the first few bags into the kitchen and had some things to put away in our outside freezer. I thought to myself if I had it in my pocket where were all the places I bent over? So I ran out to the garage to look in our freezer its one of those big deep freezers like a giant ice chest... so to get anything in or out you have to bend over. I start digging through it and waalllaa!! I had dropped my phone in the box of waffles!! It was an instant feeling of relief!! Who cares that it may be completely broken and not work at this point I was just so relieved to know that the weirdoes at the store didnt have it!! I called JT and gave him the great news... said goodnight and tried to fix my phone. It is alive and well in case you were wondering and the girls hardly noticed in fact I am sure it was more like a field trip for them. But the point in this story well the point in this blog actually is exactly this... this kind of of thing always seems to happen when JT is gone it is so crazy without fail when he is not here and Im all alone to "figure things out" crazy things come up and some how some way I make it through! Best of all this seems to have not effected the girls yet! Its like they are accustom to it at this point thank goodness... now if only I could become accustom to it!! The coolest part of the evening though was that I Alisa had a chance to see that God DOES answer prayers! SCORE!! :D I was so happy I even ran in to her room to tell her she was half asleep though so she didnt seem as excited. LOL
As always Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed ;)
