3am!!!!!!!!!!!

Melissa Holstein here with yet another 3am blog...because Tobey has managed to wake up everyone in the house except for Alison and the cat. Of course it is a day that I will not get to go back to bed until late Sunday night because of swing shifts! Nice.....

So now I sit here listening to the kids watch Monsters Vs Aliens for the 3,000th time.

So, I had a great day at work Friday...I am not really sure if you can call it work, I just love hanging out with these guys. So, while I was at "work" I took 1 guy to Church to fold bulletins, and I played Wii bowling and I made them a snack...easy 4 hours. Tonight I work the overnight, which will probably be boring as all get out. So, I think I will clip coupons, make a grocery list and actually read a book! Party on Wayne!

So, getting someone to help clean up was the most brilliant idea I ever had. I walked into the cleanest kitchen EVER!!! And I didn't have to do it! So, thank you CJ and I will see you Monday! I thought I was going feel like cooking in it, but I just want to enjoy the beauty so I sent Eddie out for Long John Silvers which was the bomb.

Today Kris is going to be a fill in Mama and take Lena to get her hair and makeup done for her dance tonight. I am eternally grateful since I can't be in 2 places at the same time. So, Lena is going to get to enjoy a non-rushed appointment with no kids around and all the attention is lavished on her. She deserves it...

I was in hopes that Tobey was done with the scratching phase, but no luck. I guess within minutes of coming home yesterday he gave himself the worst scratch ever, so today I am picking up some of that scar therapy stuff because I think the new habit is here to stay. I am already preparing myself for the dirty looks at Wal-mart today.

The kids and I enjoyed watching Charlie Brown last night, I don't know if I have told you but we are big fans here. Anyway, I started thinking last night that Lucy is a horrible Psychiatrist and that Charlie Brown needs some major anti-depressants. I mean really, the poor kid is near suicidal and the parents and teachers haven't noticed his demeanor. I know, it is only a cartoon....but some of those kids have some real issues.

So, I guess since the kids have voted that I don't need sleep I am off to face the world and get ready for the day....pick up the sitter, buy Lena shoes, make valentines with 4 kids for school, go grocery shopping, go to the bank,take Olivia to her first dance lesson, take Lena to the dance, clean the house and then I am off to "work".....See you Monday!
