would you like some fries with that shake?

Hello Hello Hello
So I have not been on much due to work work work! Plus I have picked up a new hobby... making greeting cards. I'm practically obsessed with it :) I have all my stuff "set up" around and on this card table in the corner of our living room. Its a pretty cluttered area, but I love it. If you want to see/read more about it I am going to post a new blog solely for my greeting cards and othe crafts. So... Friday at work was horrible! LOL, I don't even normally work Saturdays. But I was doing it as a "make up" day because I had to take Wednesday off to go to court. So I offered to work Saturday so that the son (of Jack the old man I "watch") that had to skip work on Wednesday could go in to work on Saturday. Little did I know how bad of an idea this was! You see the main thing was that on Sunday it was Sarahs birthday party, the 7 year old granddaughter. So when I got there at 10am she was watching her Hannah Montana show on tv. So I just got to work around the house. But then when it was over I told her it was time to clean her room (which is always an AWFUL mess). She started to throw a fit, and it just got worse from that point on. Her fit went on until at least 1pm. But during all of that, as she was SCREAMING, and throwing things, and hitting walls, and stomping, and saying rude things, Peggy, the gradmother got upset too. So then she came wheeling out of her room (with no pants on mind you, because apparentlty she was out of underpants) yelling too. Then Peggy got even more mad because I was there, and it was Saturday. And I think she was mad because she was frustrated that she didn't know and couldn't understand what was going on. And then she started crying and yelling because of Sarah, and me being there. Meanwhile I am trying to figure out what to do, and the two uncles in the house are not making it any easier. Steven has taken a "parenting" course that has told him to not fight with your child, to just listen and sit there. Because you will never win in a fight with your child because they want to win. (WHAT THE HECK?!?) So he just sat there on the floor in her room seemingly doing NOTHING about everything that was going on. Then John came out of his room because he heard all the commotion. He kept trying to get Peggy to calm down because she has high blood pressure and could have another stroke that would more than likely kill her this time. So then Jack (the grandpa), for some reason, decides now is a good time to tell John that Peggy had a bad visit with the doctor on Fri because her blood pressure was really high and that John needs to be giving her her pills, because apparently he hasn't been. And he hasn't been because she won't swallow them and she won't eat them if you grind them into her food! So John got really upset then too! He started storming around the house using the F*** work every other word, and yelling and banging. And Jack was yelling at him to watch his language and calm down. And oh my goodness I wanted to get out of there so badly! Eventually John left the house with Peggy to get her to calm down (he took her to the beach ALL DAY LONG). And Kathy (Sarahs mom) came to get Sarah and take her out. So then it was just Steven and I to do the work of the house. And there was a lot of work to do. So Steven sits down on the couch with some meatloaf and cheesy potatoes and a newspaper and just SITS THERE. Meanwhile I have COMPLETELY cleaned out the bedroom (changing the sheets on both beds, re-folding their clothes and putting them away, taking out the trash, vaccuuming, and so on), the bathroom(sweeping, and mopping, with mopping detail around all the edges of the floor, cleaning off the counter and scrubbing out the sink, then I had to scrub out the bathtub for more than 30mins, it had like mold and mildew in it!), the kitchen, doing all the dishes, sweeping, mopping, clearing the table, the stove, and the counter) and the living room(the couches, cleaning behind the tv corner, cleaning off the tv entertainment center, clearing all 4 tv trays so that they could be used in the party, and the big shelve structure in the living room, Steven surprisingly vaccuumed the living room while was I was mopping the kitchen floor)!!!! And all that Steven had done so far was water his flowers in the front yard, and vaccuum the living room floor! At this point I was tired, and hungry, and so stressed out. I said I would come into work (for a normal work load) just so that Steven could go into work and catch up on anything that he missed on Wednesday. But Steven decided that I was coming in to work on Sat just to clean the whole house for him for the party, I overheard him telling this to Jack. So at 1:30pm I went out of the house to get something to eat for lunch. Then when I came back I went to clean out Sarahs bed. I took ALL the clothes out of her THREE dressers one by one and started folding and putting them into sorted piles on the bed. When I finished the whole bed was covered about 2-3 feet high! Then I put everything back into the three dressers, just sorted this time around. Then I printed off labels for every drawer and stuck those on. Then I washed her comforter and cleaned off all the toys, beads, papers, books, dvds, and other nicknacks off her floor and off her desk. The end result, an AMAZINGLY cleaned up room. Then I went into the back yard and put away a lot of the things they had just sitting around out there. Then I left for the day around 5:50pm. A few minutes early :) What a rough day! But then I got to come home and craft my worries away ;P First Jake and I went out for dinner because I was way too tired to cook, plus my body was so so sore! Then we came home and walked to the bank to deposit my check and mailed off most of Jakes graduation announcements. And once we got back home I started making some cards. On Sunday we went to church, went to the fish store, stopped off at Sarahs party, went to Costco, and Albertsons, and then we finally arrived back at home! Whew! So now today, Jake has a final, and I have work. But then tomorrow on Tuesday, I have the day off and I plan on sleeping in!
