Ok, I said on the impromptu Roger's meet up thread that I would have to tell how my 'day' went! Well, here goes!

It started off last weekend...the 8th. It was my 12 yo birthday and we were taking the kids out to the lake to swim, meet up with grandparents for cake and a chicken bucket (at the lake), and then go to the drive in. DH stopped at a different ATM than we usually go to because of time constraints and it would have cost us more money in gas than the fee to run all the way into town to our bank. Well...he left his debit card IN the machine and pulled away...so it SUCKED it back in! The bank was still open...yep! They had his debit card but because it was for a different bank they could not give it back to him. My debit??? EXPIRED!! I got the new one in the mail but we LOST it!! I am thinking one of the kids must have thrown it away! After all we did find the NEW medical cards in the garbage that I had left on the table! So when I went to the Dentist this week I pull and remembered that we got new insurance! Thankfully we are really good friends with our dentist so they said I could just call with the new billing address.
I tripped on my mom's deck Sunday night and I thought I had sprained my ankle and I had not been able to walk on it Mon-Thurs. So I had not slept well all week. But I was not sure if it was a sprain or this weird freezing muscling thing I have been battle. But when I woke up Friday and the pain was gone I decided it must have been the weird freezing muscle thing going on.

Ok...so neither DH nor I now have a working debit card!!

I am ready to go to Roger's....it is 1:45 and I need to be at Walmart to meet up with 2 people at 3:10. I check my wallet for my license and NO LICENSE!!! I HAVE NO MONEY!! I NEED my license to get go to the bank and get money!! I also need my license to get my buyers number at Roger's. After looking for AN HOUR....still NO LICENSE! I said fine! Where is our 'emergency money?? I will just take some of it and then replace it and my mom will have to get a buyers number and I will use her's. CAN'T FIND OUR SMALL STASH OF EMERGENCY MONEY! In reality the emergency money is not that much and really not that big of a deal BUT we put my dad's WEDDING RING is in that box!! (My dad passed away last November.) It took us over 10 minutes to find the box! I would say it was hidden good! LOL! So by now the house is TORE APART!! I am talking my bathroom...twice! The living room, my bedroom, the kitchen and everything that was on the dining room table! Oh yeah, and the van and the car!! Still no license! So I take some of the emergency money and leave.

DH calls me 5 minutes after I left HE FOUND MY LICENSE! I mean seriously!! After searching for an hour he finds them 5 minutes after I left!! So he calls me and tells me to wait at my mom's and he will bring it to me. I had to go to my mom's to load up her chickens for the sale. My brother WAS supposed to get to but he said he woke up late for work and did not have time to do it. And he kept calling me and calling me asking me if I had made it to mom's yet to get the chickens while I was looking for my license! I finally told him "I am NOT in a good mood and I will call you later!"

So I get to my mom's and lo' and behold my brother DID have the chickens loaded up! I seriously almost started crying! I was that frustrated and between DH calling to say he had my license and then finding the chickens already loaded up and that my brother had just been messing with me.

So I finally meet my mom and friend a half an hour late at Walmart! Then we went zooming off to Roger's! On the way we had been pacing this CAT van...well my mom know's two CAT drivers so she wanted me to pass the guy up and see if it was one of them....nope it wasn't! So, I started pacing the car in front of the CAT van. Finally I was like Let's just pass him! "HOLY CRAP! IT'S A COP!!" and "HOLY CRAP IT'S ANOTHER COP!" This cop was in the center lane standing outside his car with the radar gun pointed at us! It wasn't two seconds after we realized the jeep was a cop that we saw the cop in the center! Thankfully we did not get stopped!

Ok...got to Roger's! FINALLY found the SS gals and met up with them. That was fun!

Oh the best part.....
I have been battling and stomach thing for the several days...I think it was from taking the pain meds from my foot hurting. So I had to go to the bathroom several times while at Roger's. WELL! One time I stood up and turned around and guess what I saw DOWN in the port-a-pot???????
Yes, that is right!! MY LICENSE!!! I had stuck it in my back pocket to sign in so I did not have to carry around my wallet and it fell out and FELL IN!!!! I kid you not!!

I did get my rabbits that I wanted but I think I got the MOST expensive rabbits at the auction!

TODAY!!
The last post was getting a little long so...
It has been a whopper of a week and today has done its absolute best to out do the rest of the week!

My mom called me this morning and said if I want her to buy me breakfast I had 15 minutes to be at the restaurant! I was sleeping! So, I got a FAST shower and went off to breakfast! We were supposed to meet up this morning to go to garage sales because I saw one listed in the paper as having girls clothes size 12m-4T and I need some 2T and 3T clothes for baby girl. After breakfast my mom decides she does not want to go to the garage sales but my brother did want to go with me. so after about an hour of hitting garage sales...it was a town wide garage sale...I turn around in this one drive, pull out, and then I hear this "SNAP! POP! SWIIIIIISSHHHH!!!!!!!!" And I can barely stop! I was only going like 5 or 10 miles!! The back passenger tire went completely flat!! The brake pad had sheared off and some how cut the air valve completely off the tire!!

Friends from our church were also out to the garage sales and they stopped 5 minutes after it happened. They knew it was me right away! I am easily recognizable in my HUGE van! LOL! So Rick, from church, starts helping my brother with the tire. DH got there in about 10 minutes. As soon as DH got there I had to take his car to go find the potty again! Well, the laundry mat that has a potty is now CLOSED! Thankfully I was able to find another one not to far away but I had to make my way through all of the garage sale traffic.
So DH and Rick FIGHT with the spare tire for nearly 20 minutes just to get it off the bottom of the van! Then I followed DH to another friend from church's house so he can now fix this whole mess!
Did I mention today is my 14 yo's birthday?? Well for his birthday he gets to put new brakes on the van!

15 yo did not go with DH to come help me because he did not feel like going! ME! HIS MOTHER! So, my 15 yo got to feel the wrath of mom when I got home! I pull in the driveway and there is my 3 new meat bunnies IN THE SUN! WITH NO WATER and it is 90F out today!!! Did I mention I was already not in a good mood???? So I came in on the warpath! THEN! I go into the living room to see that baby girl had dumped a POUND...yes a POUND of broccoli seeds on the couch and living room floor while the two boys were watching her! Yeah, so much for saving seeds in case if all society should collapse! (14, 9, and 6 yo went with DH to rescue me!) I ground them for all eternity! Hey! They are lucky I let them live, right! No, I only grounded them for a week!
So they jumped up real fast and got the rabbits and stuff all taken care of. 12 and 15 yo are now out building me another yard fenced in box thingy so I can graze the new bunnies out on fresh grass and they are not mixed with out pet (worthless) bunnies. DH, 14, and 9 yo are working on my van.

Soooo....At what point do I get to cry "Uncle!" and say "I give up!" and crawl into bed and stay there?? This week has been a trial and today has done its absolutely best to out do all the rest of the week!! Sigh....

Wow, Pam, between you and QA, I am starting to feel sorry I had such a good day! j/k :lol:

I hope your routine gets back to normal quickly! Thank God you weren't driving on 11 when the brakes/tire went!

Ditto that!!! Despite spill gasoline on my right shoe and having a duck poop on my left shoe, Friday was a pretty good day. :lol:

Wow, I didn't think you could top the potty story. :D

So nice to meet you face-to-face.

With the way my week has been going I probably would have caught myself on fire if I would have gotten gasoline on myself! LOL!

And my day continues....
I went to make homemade corn dogs for dinner. We like bite size pieces so I had 15 yo cut the hotdogs into 4 pieces each. Ok...3 packs of hotdogs...8 in each pack....cut into 4 pieces each. So 4x8=32 32x3=96 Right???

I go to start cooking the hot dogs and I notice there is NOT enough hot dog on the plate to equal 3 packs of hot dogs!! I ask 15 yo if he ate them? He says no! I asked 12 yo if he ate them? He says no! I count the pieces...there are 65 pieces of hotdogs where there should have been 96! That is 31 pieces short!!!!! I verified that yes indeed all packages were cut up. So unless 14 yo walked in the door and grabbed and ENTIRE pack of RAW hotdogs and ran off to another room to eat 15 yo and12 yo picked at the hotdogs until they ate an ENTIRE pack!!
I was pretty much in the kitchen the whole time after DH got home with 14 and 9 yo.

Can I go to bed yet??? Oh yeah, we still need to have cake and sing to 14 yo because TODAY is his birthday...party tomorrow though at my mom's house. And I have a major headache now!

ETA: I am very proud of my 14 yo! I heard he did a wonderful job helping replace the brakes! He helped with the front brakes a couple of weeks ago and I guess he was right in there and did at least 50% of the work today and listened really good to the guy from church who was telling him how to do it! It sounds like his career choice of being a mechanic and going to the vocational school for it is going to suit him well!

TWINS!!! My Lily had TWINS!!! They are 10 days early and they are tiny! She had them last night and when the kids went out this morning to let out the chickens something caught my 12 year old's eye in the goat house and there they were!!! Lily had them all cleaned up but they are not standing up on their own. As far as I can tell she has not nursed them. We tried to get her to nurse and she just kicked! They do have a strong bawl when we pet them and stuff. I am hoping they do good! They sure are cute!!

I am worn out just reading about your week. I need a nap! Congrats on the babies and hopefully mom will chill out and let them nurse.
