the good and the bad

that's what seems to heppen all the time.
the good and the bad come hand in hand.
the good?: my hubby came home!!
i also had a wedding i had to play for ( my first paid job as a pianist, apart from the teaching)
it was my excuse to pamper myself and at the same time be all done up for my baby.
i did my nails, both hands and feet, and had some waxing done, plus the usual eyebrow threading on friday.( nice to be out without the babes for an hour).
saturday morning was full of driving around.
leaving the kids at the babysitter, going to do my hair, pick up the kids, drop them off at tracy's for jane's b-day, going to the church for the ceremony. driving back to the park where i thought the party was at, but no one was there. going to tracy's ( no one was there either) going to francia's house ( no one was there, but the neighbour let me used the phone. with no luck because i thought evan would be home but he wasn't answering!). so i drove all the way home. evan had just gotten in. his flight was delayed. i got changed, got the kids clothes ready and didn't wait for evan to get ready, i had to go get them at tracy's again get them all dressed there and then go to the church for the reception!! i was exhausted.
when i got there, they were just starting. and evan wasn't there yet but got just in time for the food.
the kids were super excited to see him. they couldn't believe their eyes!
he was super tired, and since he was driving his bike he left right away... i know... it sucks to be at a wedding without a date :( 
when the kids saw that daddy wasn't there, they asked where he was. i said at home. evan's eyes got super big:"our house???" he asked... it is so nice to go home knowing your hubby is there waiting for you :D
we didn't last too long at the party. i was tired too.
sunday i had ward council at 9am. then drove back home to get the family and put the roast in the crock pot ( i had the elders for dinner!). i had some more business after the meetings...and then home to do the rest of the cooking. 
monday was evan's b-day party.
it was pouring so we moved it to tuesday, so that morning i attacked the mountain of dirty clothes evan brought. we went grocery shopping adn we went to the police station to get evan's lost wallet back. someone found it and turned it in. money and everything untouched. that's canada for you, my friends.
tusday was party time! i did the cupcakes, prepared all the food and things and headed to the water park.
it was a nice day.
almost all the kids that were invited came. but evan was really happy. he played with everyone there, and had so much fun.
evan had to go to the base on wednesday morning and i went to the water park with the kids and all my mexican friends.
that evening i had a rs activity. and evan stayed home with the kids.
by the time i got home all were in bed :D
we had a nice talk.
we, ok, i would say I needed that talk.
everything had been so full of things to do, we really didn't have much time to just sit and talk.
we started watching a movie... i fell asleep in the middle of it.
today... evan was up at 6'30. had a blood test to get done.
at 10 he drove me to the dentist.
got my 3 wisdom teeth out.
it was pretty  easy. he said i have pretty tough gums. should i feel good about that?
evan took the kids to the beach while i slept. i thought i could go to the beach with them, but once the freezing wore off i couldn't handle it.
it was really nice to just sleep.
they got home and i got in this frantic mood.
cleaned teh kitchen, make dinner, mop the floor, give the kids a bath... and lay dead on my bed.
evan sat with them to eat, put their pijamas, brushed their teeth, prayed and put them in bed.
he made me a milkshake. i have just had water since breakfast, i feel sick in my stomach.
hope i start feeling better soon. at least i always seem to have some kind of burst of energy....and often i take it too far.
i never learn.
