What a week and it's not even over!

Well, first of all, to put all of this in perspective it is not that bad of a week when my mind considers what REALLY could be worse. To me right now though...at this very moment...I have reached for the bowl of Halloween candy that my kids got from "Trunk or Treat" the other night and picked out most of the chocolate!!

When Mark isn't working he is home working on big house projects which have been going on for quite some time now. He is usually a big help to me since he is off three and four days a week and he really helps me with the kids (even teaching them school) so that I can get housework done and errands ran. With not having his help I am now more stressed with the house not being clean, having no quiet time and having to run my errands with three kids and a baby (which has never been a problem for me before). Not until some unidentified two year old who is throwing fits and whining practically all day has kidnapped my daughter Hope and has taken her place. She is relentless! McCain behind in the polls hasn't helped things either.....but all of these things is not the kicker....NOOOOO. Tonight, on my way to pick up Dawson and Carys at Awana's, I pulled out of my garage and hit the little middle "thingy" (no, I don't know what it is called) that divides our 2 car garage and tore our garage off of the foundation!! At first I didn't think it was that bad but it is. The garage is sitting whoppyjawed (that's a real word right??). More work and more money to be spent for my dear husband who sweetly told me it was no big deal even when I know it is for him.

I wish I was a bear right now so that I could just hibernate for a long time and wake up to all the house projects done; a happy three year old and a clean house. If only.

By the way, if you happen to see Hope, please tell her that her mommy misses her and to come home ASAP. :)
