Where does the time go??

I have been slacking on my blog! But since Easter Carlos and I have both been sick.  We have been the Pediatrician 3 times in 2 weeks.  The kids have had the stomach flu, strep throat and a viral respiratory infection (swine flu if you ask me!).  So between being sick, going to the doctors, having sick kids, waiting in a torturous line at Walmart Pharmacy our time together has been decreased. 

Add to that T-ball practice twice a week, dentist appointment, visiting Angelo's new preschool, preparing for Primary and eye doctor appointment. Whew!! writing it all down makes me exhausted.  If we can change Daylight savings time...do you think we can change how many hours are in the day?

When I am old...

My Aunt had broken her hip a few months ago and has not been able to drive since then, she wanted to go to the store herself to look around. I was being nice and offered to take her to Walmart and the dollar store.  Then my Grandmother ended up coming to stay at my Mom's house.  So then the plan changed to taking my Aunt and Grandmother to the store, not to mention it is the beginning of Spring Break so the tally is 2 people over the age of 80 and 3 under the age of 5.  Carlos ended up being home today (luckily) so only kid who wanted to come with me was Angelo (a silent sigh of relief).  

So it started off not to bad, at the dollar store my Grandmother came out looking at her receipt and said "Can you believe they charged me a dollar for this candle?" I answered yes, I could believe it since she had bought it in the dollar store!!! Well she proceed to go back into the store and return it.

Then Walmart where my Aunt decides to try out an electronic scooter for the first time. All I can say about that is if you ever see an older person in the scooter it is best to move out of the way....quickly!!

Then they were arguing with the cashier saying that the gift card had 25.00 dollars on it not 20.00!!

We went to lunch and sat in a pizzeria for about 10 minutes because my Aunt insisted they had waitresses, even though the front of the restaurant was set up Cafeteria style. 

Dropped my Aunt off, but before leaving had to stop inside to pick up literally 20 containers of juice and milk that she gets daily. 

So moral of the story, I hope that when I am over the age of 80 can not walk that fast, run over strangers with an electronic scooter, return things to the dollar store for lack of quality, fight with cashiers even though I am wrong, act nasty to my family that is taking me out and think that just because I am over the age of 80 people should wait on me that my family will love to be around me and take me places!

First Blog

So, my first blog! I am pretty sure I should have started this blog in January and the entries would have been more entertaining. You know with stories of a flooded house, living in a hotel with 3 boys for 6 weeks, painting a 18 foot foyer, freaking out at Becky as she tried to help clean my kitchen, first trip to Costco with the Wards, Giovanni's classroom at church being the room that was flooded from the broken boiler, trying to help with my sister in laws shower from my hotel and who can forget eating at the Wards and then there appliances breaking while we were there??!!

I promise I will try my best to entertain but I am pretty sure January has the rest of the year beat....at least that is what we are hoping.
