Last weekend proved to be one of the roughest weekends I think I have had since I have been married....Because I had myself spred so thin, I didn't feel like I could take care of my children and all of the things I had to do, so I called in my cousin Melodie for back up...who generously said "sure! no problem..." We headed to Pocatello Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. (...seriously, who does that!) On the way home, Strep Throat set in, and I sort of wanted to die...Friday and Saturday I had to man not one, but two craft fairs, while being sicker than I have been for a LONG time....and Skylar was calling for two days, crying hysterically cause she was so homesick and just wanted to come home...After a total come-apart to my husband (who was in Cloroado), my father in law felt sorry for me, so Saturday night, he went up and got my girls, and kept them over night (something about being in a familiar home made the home sickness go away)...what an amazing man! The strep throat didnt subside until Monday (aided by the shot in the butt that was not so pleasant)...five full days of that crap, and I was never so happy to see it go!
To Melodie's credit, she took them to several fun things in just the few short days they were there...They went to a birthday party, a movie, and to kids club at Home Depot and made me these cutest little plant holders for Mother's Day all by themselves ;) (which I loved, and am praying I don't kill) They even got an orange Home Depot apron like they wear at the store...I appreciate you more than you know Mel...Thanks so much for trying to help me out!
