I should have realized that when Maddy slept through the night (first night in over a week) and then slept in as well (8:20) she was being gracious to us and letting us rest up for the rest of the day. Because she was HELL ON WHEELS today. Holy crap. (Excuse my language, but, really there is no better words for it.)
This morning she was whiny a lot. I gave her tylanol cold since she still seems stuffy in the one nostril. But it didn't help the whininess. I was able to get the kitchen floor, powder room floor and foyer floor washed on my hands and knees while she watched an upside down show. I was also able to vacuum while Matt had her. But--that's the extent of me being productive today.
I did defrost the Three Bean Casserole for church for tomorrow's pot luck. That was before I realized we won't be able to stay for it. Maddy has been napping every day at noon so I don't think we'll be able to go. We'll need to get home right after Sunday School and the Easter Egg hunt. We'll see how she's doing, but I don't want her overtired for her nap. Especially with the mood she's been in! I did make two more pans of Rice Crispy Treats and I will take both with me tomorrow for the church pot luck and leave them there. So at least I'm giving them something.
This evening was a disaster with Maddy. We took her to Lowes and were there for LITERALLY 10 minutes. But within that amount of time she wanted out of the cart and only wanted to push the cart. If we wanted to hold her she'd whine. If we wanted to let her walk and hold our hand, she'd whine. ENOUGH WITH THE WHINING. Matt did take back the extra tile we didn't need and we did buy a cabinet for over the toilet in our new bathroom, a mirror for our bathroom and weed/seed. Buy she was a holy terror. She never actually threw a fit but we had to fight her the whole time. We just went home, it simply wasn't worth it.
Matt made steaks tonight on the grill for dinner along with asparagus, mushrooms and potato salad. It was great! After dinner I started my prep work for church tomorrow. I picked out my clothes, jewerly, etc. I took out all of Maddy's stuff and cut off the tags. I prepped her diaper bag, cut the rice crispy treats. Sheesh, it takes SO MUCH to go to church now a days! It's unbelievable.
I'm peeved at church right now, too. A member called me two nights ago and asked if I'd take over the younger group in addition to the older group for Sunday School. Sure, no biggie. I've taught multigrades before. I can do it again. BUT I want to know what the craft lesson she had planned was. I asked her to email me it so I'd know what to expect or if I had enough for the older, too. Well, no email. I'll be darned if I drive 25 minutes to church to see if the plans are there to drive 25 minutes back. To make matters even more up in the air, they delivered flyers last weekend advertising our Easter Service. On there it says there is a 'Children's message' starting at 11:15. Well, do you know who that is??? If you guessed ME you'd be correct. Again, I can talk to any number of kids of any ages of any kind of ability. But--again--the craft! I have no idea how many kids to expect tomorrow thanks to the flyer. All I had planned was enough for my usual three older ones. I don't know what the craft is for the younger ones either. So now I'm left with creating a craft that can span ages 4-13, 1-20 children, TONIGHT for tomorrow morning. SHEESH. It would have been nice that Pastor even told me about the brochures. I had no clue. At least I would have planned for an unknown number of kids instead of my usual 3. I'm peeved if you can't tell.
Alrighty, so I'm off to prep for Sunday School. Wish me luck. I see a lot of coloring pages coming my way to send home. But again... craft? Going to go and find one now. Thank God for the internet. Seriously.
