Is it Friday yet?

I am already having a terrible week. Maybe not so terrible but terribly crazy! I started on Saturday with a barfing baby. She was pretty sick. Sunday morning I kept her home from church and sent my three girls to church alone. (William is in NM, remember) After Makenna's class she was told to come home so I could get there to teach my class. Anyway, I had just changed Liberty's stinky diaper and left her pj's off while I went in to get ready for church. Liberty was really quiet while I was in doing that so I went to check on her and OH MY!!! I decided against posting the picture. I guess she wasn't finished pooping. She had taken off her diaper and scooted her bum around on the carpet, that I just had cleaned on Friday. And she painted herself with it! Not to mention the art she made on the child sized princess chair nearby. Gross stuff. She didn't throw up all day on Sunday so I thought she was feeling better. Monday morning I fed her a bunch of food. Then around lunch time she was getting lethargic so I decided I should feed her first then put her in bed for a nap. A few minutes after putting her in bed she started screaming. I let her cry for a minute or two then went in to check on her. I was so grossed out by what I saw I didn't get a picture of it. Let's just say she wasn't better and breakfast AND lunch came out everywhere!

So that was my morning yesterday. By the time the girls got home from school I made LONG lists of chores for them because they got grounded over the weekend. Makenna was babysitting while I went grocery shopping after the day care kids left, and the girls were doing chores when I left. Hmmm, so I thought. Makenna calls me and says "Dont be mad!" Great just what every mother wants to hear. She fessed up to dumping water in my Salt City candle because she couldn't blow it out. Then when I got home and was mowing the lawn (a job I haven't tried since junior high school I think), she almost starts the house on fire. Yeah she wanted to see a tissue on fire. "I didn't know it would burn THAT fast" she said. "I learned my lesson." Want to know my reply? I said "OH NO YOU DIDN'T." You aren't getting out of being punished and learning a lesson the hard way.

So I sent her to bed and this morning told her to go to school and after school we'll talk about her punishment. So she has to wait it out all day. I did tell her she is grounded today. And when she gets grounded when she already has a babysitting job for the neighbors, she has to do it for FREE! Oh no poor girl. So what would you do to teach her a lesson?

Ok and now for something a little more exciting and a lot less stressful... Before I wrecked the quad we had Angie Francis take our family pictures. Here are a few I loved. Thanks Angie for your talent. They turned out wonderful!

Ok so I thought I had downloaded more pictures so I will have to post the rest later after I pick out my favorites and save them off the disc Angie gave me. Oh and last thing...William comes home on Friday. He is staying for a week. Is it Friday yet?
