Is there any such truth to Peace and Quiet?

I know I probably stress on our lives being "busy" but I swear that's what it is. I cant really recall what events occurred on Monday( either old age or memory loss) however, on Tuesday, we had baseball which can't come fast enough for us! Both the kids seem to enjoy the sport and now that we are playing "coach pitch" we seem to have the love for it more. It's honestly Peaceful to sit outside and cheer the kids on as they are playing their little hearts out! At one point, little miss Addie even blew me a kiss from the field. Everyone in the stands laughed, it was priceless! After each game, we find ourselves at "Wal-Mart" and as funny could be one of the players from our team "Aiden" and  his family, seem to unknowingly meet us there. Now, it has turned into a fun little game "who can beat who there". So far, we have the lead! Wednesday came, kids went to their dads so Dan and I went to yet again, our second home, Wal-mart, since we live there just as much. Dan is going to A nascar race, for the WHOLE WEEKEND! (Yessss! PEACE AND QUIET) so we had a few things to get! We always spend so much money in that store. I feel like we work just to support them. A few years ago i bought some cheap Capri cargo pants there and I FELL IN LOVE! I mean, these were NO doubt my favorite pair of ANYTHING really! I rarely ever by clothing there( or at all) for they never fit right and sizes always run funny. Well, they ripped, right in the ASS! Man, was I ever butt hurt. For some reason, i decided to look for some just like it. Up and down every rack, nothing. So what did I do, I settled, settled for some other cheap cloth Capri mesh pants, which then led to other shopping,which then led to the $100 dollars we spent. UGHH! Thursday came and We had a Doctor appt for Addie's tonsils. Just a check up before the removal of her tonsils. Well anyone  tat works during the day, knows you have to take some time off. That's just what I had to do. Big deal right? Yea, in fact it was. We get all the way over to the other side of town, through busy traffic(like 15 min worth)just to get there and find out they moved the appt to "tomorrow" which was Friday. Man Oh man, was I mad. Not only did i waste my gas but took time off work. Then the kids realized, thankfully right when we walked out, that "tomorrow" was my works "ZOO" trip and we wouldn't get to go. So we had to reschedule the dam appt for the following Tuesday, which in turn was more gas and more time off! Grr!  After all said and done, we had another ball game! It was, yet again, Peaceful! On to Friday!!! 4:30am-Dan leaves for KC! Who would ever be so excited to have their significant others gone for a weekend! ME-yes me! I was definitely looking forward to a weekend without constant Bickering, TV, Beer, or whatever else satisfies the man! (Love u babe) Then 8 am-we packed up about 90 kids and 12 teachers and headed for the Zoo! 2 hours later, after sitting on a charter bus, we were able to roam free(with our group of coarse). There was Me and one other adult and 12 kids in our pack. Not too hard right? Well, gees Louise..would one person ever imagine so many little feet so upset and hot and tired and literally ANYTHING else you could feel. We had to stop and sit down more than we had to walk. Oh well, my two had fun! Saturday-wow was i hurting. I have no clue what happened, but man oh man, i was working on MAYBE 2 hours of solid sleep due to a massive headache. And guess what, someone took all the asprin to KC with him. For one who really needed it, was not about to wake 2 kids up in the middle of the night , so i suffered. Man, morning didn't come fast enough either. Off to Wal-mart we were! We had a ball game at noon, so it kind of worked out, for it was our turn for treats! What a good ball game it was too. Alec played 3rd base and was so good at going after the ball. He was maybe 1 second away from tagging someone out! (For him, this was big Big BIG!) I then took them to MC Donald's, MY favorite place when Dan is out of town!(He doesn;t like it much) Would you know it, when we got home, all three of us TOOK A NAP. Wow, are you serious, yes, a 2 and a half hour nap! It was awesome! We layed around the rest of the night! Sunday came, well, every mother knows what this day feels like I am sure. Cleaning day-yuck! After cleaning most of the day, I took the heathens-yes- I say that for this is what they were ALL day long, to a "promised" mommy/daughter/son day to the movies. We went to see "HOP" a movie about the "Easter Bunny", Kind of cute and funny, but a bit boring too! A large bucket of Popcorn, large nachos, and a large pop later, we head home! A short hour later, we greeted Dan from his "short" trip and headed to bed! Monday came then Tuesday, off to the doc, and wow-wee! The office was full of people. This may have been the busiest I have ever seen this place. Appt time was 2:10 and of coarse you are always to come about 10 min early for that fun paperwork or whatever, 2:50 we finally get in. WHOA! Everything went well. Doc has released Addie to get her tonsils out on Thursday. I'm kind of sad and nervous. This is a major thing for us. Wednesday came, baseball! I'm telling you, we live for game days! For the first time this season, Alec had to hit off the Tee. Man, did I have one upset little boy:( He was so sad. He was so proud to be one of the ONLY kids who did not have to hit of the tee the whole season, and today was the day. Poor kid. I felt so bad for him. But really, was it his fault? Not to say anything bad about the pitcher, but was he throwing the ball good? Not tonight. I really believe that. We decided to let Addie pick where she wanted to eat and ANYTHING she wanted to eat for this might be the last night she really eats anything for a week or so. She picked 'Billy Boys" to my advantage too because I like that place! She ate chicken strips and fries. Then she ate 6 cupcakes at home, a bag of M&M's, a Popsicle, some chips and whatever else she wanted. Now, we are at Today, Thursday-June 9th 2011. Addie gets those nasty tonsils out today. I was so nervous. Maybe more than her. We met at same day surgery center. Checked in anticipated waiting for the procedure to start. The staff was amazing though to say the least. Everyone of them. Both Alec and Addie got a Giant color book and crayons. SWEET! Then they both got a Surgery T-shirt. SWEET again. Then we as parents got "FREE" panara bread bagels. ..sweeet! (lets wait for the bill when we get it!) Wow, we sat for a bit in the recovery room. Addie got all ready, hospital jammies..anesthesia and she was off. We had to sit in waiting room until it was over. It went really fast, then we were back in the recovery. She is a trooper to say the least. She got to take her "sleepy" mask home and a little stuffed horse, which, just now, she named "brownie". Wow-did they say bad breath or what..woooow weee. 3 weeks of it. Good thing for Popsicles...10 down, 100 to go! Lets see what tomorrow brings!
