Home Sweet Home

So I am officially back in Jersey. Well for the next week and a half. It has been a crazy trip so far. So I flew into Jersey about midnight on Wednesday so by the time I got home it was about 1am. My parents were flying out the next day at 6 which meant that they had to leave my house at 3:45am. It was a very short night for them.
As soon as they left on their vacation, I became mom. This was not an easy task. My first motherly duty was to get the kids up, ready, and off to school. This was TERRIBLE! So first off I am used to mountain standard time so getting up at 6:30 EST was terrible! Getting up at 4:30am my time was not cool! I am not a morning person to start with so getting kids ready and cook them breakfast was not easy for me. The first day I was EXHAUSTED! As soon as I got my sister off to school I was headed ba
ck to bed and I got a call from my sisters school. It was my adorable sister who forgot her glasses at home. So I had to drive to the school to deliver the glasses. It wasn't such a terrible ordeal but I looked like death. The office secretary looked at me and laughed and told me to go back to bed. Oh... I DID!! Sleep was my best friend that day.
DAY 2: My brother accidentely hit me in the face today so black eye is the fashion of the day. It was fantastic...not. I went to a ward party and everyone was asking me what happened. It was interesting explaining to them what happened. I sent my parents a picture of it and I immediately got a call from my dad who told me that it looked like someone took a baseball bat to the side of my face. It looked terrible! My brother and sister spent the night at a friends house so I could go see the new Harry Potter movie. It was weird having to find someone to take care of the kids so I could go out for a night.
DAY 3: I slept in and was late picking the kids up from the house that they stayed the night at... whoops :) I woke up in a panic and
freaked out and grabbed the phone and called the family. Luckily it wasn't a big deal. Thank Goodness! It turned out to be a good day :)
DAY 4: SUNDAY! woo... Church and an even meeting were our only obligations. Campbell my brother takes forever to get ready in the morning. Kristen and I were both ready in the time it took him to shower.
DAY 5: Monday. Got up got the kids to school and went back to bed:) best day ever!
DAY 6: Tuesday! MOM AND DAD GET HOME AT MIDNIGHT!!!! My time at mom is almost over!
