So much to blog so little TIME

WARNING THIS IS A MAJOR COMPLAIN SESSION!

Monday:

AHHHH is what I have to say right about now. My body is screaming for relaxation and I have about 2 more hours left before I can actually do that (bedtime for kids). I have to say that I for sure have outbeaten Lara when it comes to the worst mother of the year award. Yesterday was mad chaos I guess I brought that upon myself. I ran to the mall early in the morning with Angie to return some of Doug's pants that had a hole in them. We then ran over to another store which I think pretty much maxed our kids out. I ran them home and put them down for a nap and before I knew it the older ones were getting off the bus. I have to feed them early on Monday's because we have gymnastics at 5:45 pm (we don't get home until about 7pm) Anyways, to throw my schedule for a loop Doug was chosen 1 out of 4 guys to present a research paper at some community orthopedic group....so at the last minute I called my babysitter, ran the kids to gym for about 40 minutes and during that time Weston fell down the flight of stairs. I was holding on to his hand, he let go and I just watched in slow motion my little baby roll like a ball down tile steps that were soooo steep! I felt horrible and immediately picked him up to look at his wounds. I think that the owner was more concerned than I. I assured her that I would watch him closely and that my husband was a doctor. Not more than 5 minutes later he was up walking around and decided to try and attempt the stairs again. By then it was time to rush my kids home, bathe them and leave them with the babysitter. I managed to make Doug's presentation just in the nick of time, he did great! In the end he was a little disappointed because there were cash prizes and he got 4th place and 1st received $1000. I told him that was okay and it was an honor to be even chosen and 4th was better than 7th right?
