Three kids and a lost iPod

Well, I made it through the day and it wasn't that bad really (yeah, right!). My alarm went off at 4:55 a.m. (which nearly scared me to death) and Davy and Tab dropped Bri and Kaela off at 5:15. Fortunately for me they weren't any more ready to get up for the day than I was and both went back down on the couch for some more shuteye. I tossed and turned in the recliner for a while but finally went back to sleep until about 8:30 a.m. when Noah woke up and joined the party.

We had breakfast, the three kids played (began the destruction of my house), we played outside, had a picnic, came back in for awhile (home demolition continued), went swimming in the pool, played in the water hose, came in and took baths, played inside some more (destruction completed) and then finally cleaned up a little before Davy and Tab arrived at 4:45.

I fixed supper after everyone left and then planned on crashing on the couch for a while but that was short lived. Jarrod came and asked where his iPod was. Now, I know this doesn't sound like a bad thing but you would have to understand that he gave me his iPod to keep while we were at Relay for Life on Friday night. I stuck it in my camera bag (which I left unzipped) and that's what I told him. He checked the camera bag but no iPod. Darren became involved and yelled at both of us and then a mad search of the house, Durango and all its contents ensued. After about an hour of searching and a trip up to the Industrial Park (as if it would still be there) I was ready to give up. I was literally sick to my stomach to think that we had lost a $350 iPod. And then Jarrod decided to go look in his room. Lo and behold what do you think he found? Yep, you guessed it. The long lost iPod. Part of me wanted to kill him but the rest of me was just so relieved that I burst into tears.

So now, I've nurtured the children, fed the family, restored some semblance of order to my house, located the iPod and I am wiped out. Early to bed for me tonight!
