I am about to cover the last 9 days because they have really been up and down. It will probably cover a few entries because there is a lot to say. Sunday, March 1st it rained, sleeted, snowed all day. It was miserable and we never left the house. When we woke up Monday morning it was no longer raining, sleeting or snowing, it was just a beautiful blanket of white sparkles. It was 5 am and most of the schools were shut down the night before so the world was undistrbed. It looked so peaceful outside. I crawled back in bed for just a little while because unlike the rest of the world I was one of the few who had to trudge through it to get to work.
Truly I had a ton of work to do, the month needed to be closed and days like today were the perfect days to go to work becasue no one would be there, no interuptions. So Daddy, Katie, Jack and Maddie piled in the truck and took me to work. That was the only bummer thing for Phil is that he really couldn't enjoy the day off becasue you get pulled in so many directions having three children 5 and under. As beautiful as it was I am glad it is gone, we had morning lows in the teens and I really, REALLY dislike that. It doesn't start my week off well.
However, in true Chelsea fashion my week went from bad to worse. I had been having problems with my garage door opener. The batteries for it are hard to find so I was just using the key pad. I over slept as far as the time I wanted to get the kids to daycare. I try to have them there on my days off a little before 8 so they can eat breakfast with there friends. I am running around like an idiot get Maddie's treatment done getting Katie and Jack dressed. We have PT on Tuesday so I try to have her breathing treatment done early before the Physical Therapist arrives. Did I mention it was only 20 degrees out. So I come home from dropping Katie and Jack off at school. Pull in the driveway, lift the key pad to open the garage door and my combination doesn't work. I try 5 times, no dice. I called my neighbor to see if she had a 9 volt battery. She did but that didn't fix my problem.
So just so we are all on the same page...it is 20 degrees out, my garage door opener does not work, the key pad on the garage door does not work, putting a new battery in the key pad didn't fix it, Maddie is in her car seat in the truck and it is running to keep her warm. My neighbor says do you keep any windows open. I quickly said no. I always lock all the doors and windows. Yea Right!! Except one on the second story. My neighbor walks around to the front windows and says......Uh this window is unlocked. She goes home to get a butter knife we pop the screen and I am in the house. THANK GOD!!!
For those of you wondering why didn't she just use the key to the house??? The only key to the house is locked in the van, both sets of keys to the van are locked in the house. One of the very first gifts Phil and I were given when we bought our house was a garage door opener. I haven't used a house key in 10 years, yes I said TEN YEARS. After Maddie had her PT session at the house Tuesday morning I was exhausted but I had errands to run. I go to the cable company to turn in one of our DVR boxes stand in line for 10 minutes realize I left the remote for the box on the bed. They won't take it back without it so I left.
Most of Tuesday was a total wash out so I just gave up went to pick up the kids, stopped by Lowes had a crap load of keys made. When I got home I stopped by a few neighbor's houses and passed them out it the hopes that Tuesday NEVER happens again. I'll have to continue the saga tomorrow. TTFN
