Today was an INSANE day and tomorrow hold no hope of being any better!! Today started with Sissy waking up in a TERRIBLE mood. She was moaning and crying and pulling her hair all day. Today was a bad day. We have had a couple of weeks of GOOD so I should have known that the bad was coming. That is how this Chiari thing goes… or so I have heard… you go up and down. So she wanted to be held all day.. obviously in pain- not walking much back to crawling a lot, refused to eat anything!! NOT even chicken! Which she will ALWAYS eat chicken.

THEN I am trying my darnedest to track down a package for a client that UPS is holding out on me. I tried to intercept it on Friday so that they would have the cards for the weekend but UPS (after 5 phone calls) told me it was impossible to do. I even offered to let them hold it at another station in another STATE and I would DRIVE to get it. Nada. So this AM I start calling at 7 am to try and keep it OFF the delivery truck so that I can drive out to UPS and get it. NOPE… already on the truck. I am about in tears at this point. So I asked them if I could schedule an intercept earlier in the day or something. They tell me that the guy will be in the neighborhood in 20 minutes. GREAT!! Thank GOD! I am happy. So I hear the UPS truck come… and go. I run to the front door only to realize there is NO PACKAGE!!!!!!!!! OMG… I am loosing it… chasing the UPS truck down the street in my yoga pants, t-shirt and no shoes. Quite a sight I assure you. I realize that they have stopped around the corner so I take off RUNNING. Before I can get there they are GONE! UGHHHHHH I mean REALLY could you not see me running and waving wildly?

So I go back home in tears and totally upset that the package is not there. I check with BOTH neighbors to see if maybe they left it with them. NO. So I call UPS directly. Phone busy. Call 15 tmes.. phone busy. Call the 1800 number.. finally get someone… in tears I am telling them how I was chasing the person down the street. They tell me – IT WAS DELIVERED… to he BACK door………………………………………………………………………………………….never once in the entire time I have been receiving packages at this house have they left them on the BACK DOOR. But THANK GOD they were here.

Moving on… had to schedule delivery for all the packages that arrived today – which were 5… we still have about 13 packages left! Troy was at the studio – took Ross with him. I stayed home… he doesn’t get back from pick ups until almost 4 pm only for me to tell him that we have to go BACK at 6 pm for another one. Which was no big deal but Ross had not had a nap, Sissy is obviously hurting and having a BAD day… and my mom had picked up Owen. So we packed up the other two and went BACK to the studio. Dropped another client’s pics on the way home… stopped and got Chinese food… begged sissy to eat again… nada. Put kids in bed and started trying to get all the boys stuff packed to stay at grandparents houses knowing that tomorrow we have 4 more pickups and inevitably more packages arriving.

WOW……………… in the middle of all this I managed to bathe all three kids, change Ky’s colostomy bag (which is a 45 minute procedure), have a visit from my mom and sister, do 2 loads of laundry, clean the bathroom, do the dishes, and put away 2 other folded loads of laundry… oh yeah an VACCUM 4 times.

I am pooped.
