Drama...Drama!

It would be an understatement to say I had "one of those days" yesterday. You know those days when everything just seem to go wrong. Nothing major happened but it was just a day of craziness. I started my day early to run some errands. My first stop at the library started my day off wrong. A book I had placed on hold was not there when I got there, even though it should have been. No biggie really, they would just re-order it and I would get it in a few days. I'm not going to let that ruin my day.

Off to the next stop: Sam's club. I've discovered that an easy way to shop at Sam's club is to use a service they call "click 'n' pull". I've used this service a few other times and has find it very beneficial especially when you have to tow around two young children when you go shopping. Yesterday, however, was not as easy as it usual is. When I got there, they did not have half of my order. Once again, I'm determined to stay calm.
So, the gentleman helping me asked me to wait while he got the items. I decided that I would help him and told him I would get 2 items if he would get the others. We parted ways to retrieve the items. Upon my return to customer service (where you pick up order) this man was MIA. I waited patiently until someone else offered to help. Finally everything was sorted out and although it shouldn't have taken so long, we were finally done and had gotten everything we needed except one item because they didn't have it in stock.

We left Sam's club and I came home feeling like I could just relax a bit in my chaise and read while the kids take a nap. Unfortunately, there were a few pressing phone messages for me to return immediately. One of those calls had my blood pressure rising. I won't get into details since it will only frustrate me even more. Let's just say it involves money. Speaking of money- -our A/C has been leaking in our garage and we had someone "fix" it on Saturday and it's still leaking. Therefore, that was another issue I had to deal with yesterday. Now, it looks like it's going to cost us a lot more money to get it fixed and I honestly can't tell if we are being ripped off but I get the feeling we are!

On to more drama...
Last night, I put the kids in bed at their regular bed time and went in to take my shower. After I finished, I went in the kitchen to make a cup of tea and I hear the kids playing and making noise. It's supposed to be bed time. After scolding them, I returned to my room to watch TV. I'm now thinking they are asleep because it's been a good while. Next thing I know Arjay is in my room (he's been climbing out of his crib now). I took him back to bed. In less than an hour later, I turned the TV off and started going off to sleep when I feel someone climbing into bed. I think it's Adryana (she loves coming to our bedroom begging to get in our bed) but it's Arjay! He usually loves to sleep in his crib. I'm now half asleep and didn't feel like walking back to his room (we have a split floor plan so we are in back of house on one side and they are in front of house on another side). I allowed him to sleep with us and we didn't sleep very well with him in bed. He's not a good sleeper.

Finally, I was getting some zzz's and at 5am I hear the alarm blasting. Greg forgot to turn off the alarm. Greg decided to go running this morning and he has to get to work at 7am so he left for running at 4:30am (I know it's crazy, trust me, I am always worried). Next thing I know Adryana is up in her bed screaming and crying that Arjay is gone. I got her calmed and then she came into our bed too. We are finally falling asleep when Greg came back home and went to shower before work. So, neither Adryana or I could sleep with him moving around in master bathroom/bedroom. Finally, he leaves for work and we were able to get a little sleep before we started the day. So now I'm extremely exhausted and cannot wait to get to my bed and sleep. I hope tonight will be a less dramatic night! We desperately need some sleep. Jesus help us.
