Such a busy life!

It is not 10:23 pm and the house is quiet.  Kal is at his moms house.  The kids are finally asleep.  Today was an eventful day to say the least.  This morning Kal turned off his alarm so many times that he was late.  The girls were still sleeping.  We were really running behind.  I had to still pack for Kal to go to his moms for a few days.  It is just easier to have him there then to keep driving back and forth everyday.  It is going to save on gas.  So by the time he was getting ready to leave it was time to take the girls and I was not dressed and neither was Gabe.  We were really running behind.  So I asked him to just drop them off because that gave me an extra 1/2 hour to get my things together for my day.  Today was Monday and that is my favorite of all days.  I have the Prayer Shawl Ministeries in the morning.  It is wonderful and relaxing and I really enjoy it.  Gabe gets to run around with no one telling him to calm down.  Some times he really needs that.  So we eat lunch there and it is time to go home and I know that he is just tired.  So I decided to put of the little shopping I had to do until it was time to get the girls.  He took a nap when we got home and I talked on the phone and picked up and did laundry and all that good stuff.  I get him up and we go get the girls, go to Food Lion for some salad stuff because it is just too hot to cook.  We get home and while the girls are doing their homework Gabe and I retreated into my room to watch a little TV.  We also ate pudding and chips for a snack.  The girls got done with their home work and I had them help me get all their stuff out of the kitchen.  Then they all went out to play.  I went to call my dad because of all the stuff that was happening with Sadie and the new comment that was told to her today (did you know that all white people have fleas...me either but apparently they do according to a parent of a child in Sadies class).  So as I was on the phone with him I look at Gabe and he takes a running start and jumps onto the swing with his belly and he was laughing.  Then he starts going backwards and his feet flipped over his head and he fell off and face planted right into the ground.  He bumped his forehead and all I could see was blood pouring out of his nose and mouth.  I said to my dad "I gotta go Gabe is bleeding all over the place." and hung up.  (I later called him and he said that it was like a flashback for him.)  So his nose stopped bleeding and so did his mouth but it was so swollen that I was worried that it was broken.  I was holding ice on it and he said that it was feeling all better.  He had stopped crying.  One of the girls ran to the neighbor and she came over.  She is an EMT and I think that she might even be a nurse.  Either way I trust her and I know that she knows what she is doing.   She did a little run through of him and told me that everything was fine.  I think that he might wake up with a little bit of a black eye but he seems fine now.  So they continue to play outside and I started on the salads for dinner.  I was just chopping away and the phone is always ringing.  Between Kal and my friends I am always on the phone.  So finally I am done and we all sit with the best salads ever and a half of a pear.  The kids ate at the table and I ate at the computer so that I didn't have to listen to them chew.  They are not cows by any means but I never sit with them because listening to other people eat makes me want to vomit.  So we all finish eating and the kids return to play outside.  At 745pm I tell them to come in for bed because it was getting late.  Lilly comes in and says "mommy I am itchy"  I look at her and she is covered in a rash.  It is all over her chest, her arms, her back, her butt and her privates.  I started to freak out.  I called Kal and he asked what I was doing to them as a joke.  Not funny.  So he suggested that she take a shower and see if that helps.  She gets out of the shower and it is worse than when she got in.  There  are more and they are just everywhere.  I was trying to figure out what to do with her and my sister called.  I decided to talk to her about my day while I was thinking about Lilly and what I was going to do.  This new clinic charges for after hour calls(I think) and I am not sure that they would even talk to me because she hasn't been seen there yet.  So I put some exzema cream on her and she said it hurt so I cleaned that off.  While I was thinking she started talking to my sister and they prayed together.  So I found some benydryl so I gave her 1/2 a pill and some calagel and she put socks on her hands.  At about 10 PM I finally got them all to bed.  That was hard.  I am so tired.  I am going to have to see how she is in the morning and call to make an appointment if I need it.  So I think that that about sums up my day today.  I miss Kal and I can not wait for him to be home later this week.
