My weekend is NOT how it was planned.

Good Gloomy Morning Folks!

Up until last night my weekend was going exactly as planned.  Baby sitting last night, Susan's lesson today followed by helping out at the Autism Foundation's Santa visit, then back home to drop off Morgan at his friend's house for an overnight birthday party and then Sunday is the Christmas program at Church.  I'd even offered to take a friend's kids to meet Santa if their Dad decided he couldn't.

At 7pm last night that all changed.  I got a phone call from a Dad stranded in Missouri due to the weather, their Mom is 'out of commision' this weekend and can not be reached.  So instead of Dad saying he was going to try to come home he just flat out said he's not coming home at all this weekend.  Now I have 1 too many kids to fit in my truck.

Luckily, Mom and Dad are taking Susan to her riding lesson this morning, but helping out at AFT is out and that means Ethan most likely will NOT get to meet Santa this year.  Sadly, this is the first year he's shown any interest.  I had to withdraw my offer to take my friends kids to see Santa, so I'm praying their Dad steps up and takes them.

The worst part is that because of the cold, damp weather coming in, I started having a horrible headache around 2pm that tried to go rogue and turn ocular. By 3pm my joints were starting to hurt and I was getting some anxiety thanks to my thyroid being a bit more inflamed than normal.

With all that being said, I survived last night.  I was able to combat the joints and thyroid enough to get dinner on the table for 4 extra kids.  Right now, I'm working on a BINGO game to get the house back together after this crazy busy week.  Susan's already left for the day.  Ethan is up and dressed playing in his room and the other 3 are still asleep.  Hopefully I have at least another hour or 2 before they all decide to wake up.
