So tired

I am so done, these past few weeks have just about done me in! I am working like crazy and my kids have activities like crazy right now too, I so need summer break! Scott is in Kansas City and Jarika had to work this weekend so she stayed in Springfield with my mom so here I am.



This morning I got up with Addy-boo and we were being kinda lazy. At 9:30 Cooper reminded me that he had to be at his St. Jude Bike-A-Thon at 10! UGH! So I jump in the shower, sorta put on my face, pull the stroller out of the back of the van, insert Avery's bike (since Cooper's has a flat tire), wipe the mud off of me from Avery's bike, load Addy, Avery and Cooper in the van and fly over to the school so Cooper can participate. We were only about 5 minutes late! Got Cooper all signed in and ready to go, with a new helmet from the Safety Council of the Ozarks, and off he went. Avery, Addy and I headed to the store so I could buy some brownie mix for my Bunco tournament this afternoon. Got there, got the brownies and was in the check-out line and remembered that Addy needs formula. UGH! Fortunately Addy gets her formula through WIC, which is a HUGE blessing, however, my vouchers were at home, UGH again! So we come back home, mix up the brownies and pop them in the oven. I then spend time putting together my raffle basket that I'm in charge of, pack Addy's diaper bag for the tournament, put more of my face on, change my shirt from the mud from earlier (yeah, dumb just wait), change Addy, take brownies out of the oven, pack up A and A then go to watch Cooper finishing up his Bike-A-Thon at noon. He rode 30 laps! I was really proud of him! We picked up his prize, some lame little doll thing, loaded up Avery's muddy bike back into the van, yeah shouldn't have changed shirts, loaded Addy in her carseat, pulled Avery off of the playground to fly back home. Once home, unloaded Avery's bike before changing my shirt again, hooked Addy up to her feeding pump, loaded the stroller in the van, cut the brownies, loaded my raffle basket, changed my shirt AGAIN, waited for Addy's feed to finish, changed Addy, loaded her in the van and headed off to my Bunco Tournament for Relay for Life at 12:45pm! Unloaded van, including stroller for Addy and all my other stuff. Played Bunco from 1-3 with a very tired little girl with me, didn't win a darn basket!, helped clean up, loaded stroller with tired little girl and headed home. Woke her up getting her out of the carseat, it's a full five minute drive to home. Changed her again, hooked her up to her feeding pump and saw the empty formula can on the counter!! So, I ran to the store with Avery out riding his bike and Cooper watching a sleeping sister in her seat while she's getting a feeding. Got to the store, got formula, checked out, and returned home in all of 8 minutes! So now I am hoping that I am done for the night so I can rest!
This is my friend, Loriell, she is one of the greatest people I know! We always do this May tournament with a Cinco De Mayo theme so once she got a Bunco, on went the sombrero!
