Thursday Panic Attack

It's Thursday.

That means I have two days before Saturday is here. Saturday is a day straight from hell. Nick has an 11:00am soccer game.

Elijah has a 12:00-2:00pm football banquet. Elijah has a 3:00-5:30pm football bowling party. Cody has a intrasquad wrestling meet at 4:00pm (just found that one out last night). It's 11 degrees this morning. How much colder will it be by Saturday? I'm sure cold enough to make me miserable at Emily's 4:00-7:00pm bonfire birthday party here at the house. The house? A complete disaster. The party? Not done planning? The football DVD that I just thought I had to make for everyone? Not started. What happens between now and then? Today, a basketball game, weights, wrestling...not home until 6:45pm then lots of homework so no help from the kids. Friday...weights, wrestling, basketball...not home until 6:45 just to leave again for an 8-9 soccer practice. How am I supposed to get it all together? Well, my dear blogging friends, you may not hear from me again until Sunday (if I survive). Let me leave you with this....

Olivia just picked up two pony tail bands and exclaimed, "Mommy, they are stuck together!"
I smile, and she adds "How in the hell do I get them apart?"

Yep. I'm the Mom of the Year.
