Who Wants Some Crazy?!

Apparantly I do! Boy what a day... The girls have been asking to go to one of those free movies that the theaters show during the Summer. They were playing the Bee Movie this week, and A and E have been wanting to see that one, so I woke them up at 9 a.m. (I know- I am sooo lucky that I have to wake them up that late...) and I got them dressed and rushed out the door to the cinema. We got there 20 minutes early and the line was going around the building already because the doors were not open. It's a big theater, and 2 movies were showing, so I didn't worry. We finally made it to the door to find out that everything was full.... All kinds of kids going to their cars crying with their frustrated moms. SO- I took them across the road to Tarjetti and bought them a freakin' movie. All said and done, the "free" movie ended up being a hundred dollar trip to Target and 2 angry little girls. (However, Target did have a great clearance on kids shoes today....) After stopping for Happy Meals, we went to my grandmother's to check on her and wait there because my mom wanted to see them and she said she would be coming by after lunch. One of the pastors came by while I was there and he made me so crazy I had to leave the room. He was sharing his heart catheterization stories and telling us about how he really wanted to ask God one day why children die. I told him that sometimes we just aren't meant to know certain things. Then I wondered "Why am I participating in this conversation??" I excused myself and went out to "check on the children" and also call my mom and warn her about the craziness at my grandmother's. She laughed and told me "Good luck with that." I waited another hour for her and called her back wanting to know where in the world she was. She said "I am not coming over there with all that! I'm 30 miles away, shopping." *You mean I could have left over an hour ago??* So, I said some quick goodbyes, put my exhausted and ill girls in the car and made the 40 minute drive home. Got home, made dinner because I had a desperately needed haircut at 5:30 and would not have time to cook after that. Dropped the girls off at B's office on my way to my appointment. Got my hair cut, came home and ate and cleaned up. B put the girls down for bed and we talked about financial "stuff". The girls tuition for private school has doubled - and this is only elementary school. We decided we also cannot build our new house and the lakehouse at the same time (just not smart...). We thought about if their school costs continue to rise and Emmaline wants to be in Ballet school and Annelise wants to take Tae Kwon Doe and how much will that cost, etc., etc....... Then we wondered if we would still want to be in the school district where our lots are if we had to end up putting them in public school (answer- not really). -Insert scream here.-
We haven't started building yet, so no real financial loss if we don't build there, but just frustration. (And the fact that we would have to sell the lots and blah blah blah...) Brian gets worried and anxious about it, but I just try to go with the flow. But I don't like not knowing what to do- and I don't like not having a plan. So, there has been a lot of praying going on here for guidance and patience. I don't know what I would do if we didn't have so much craziness. Obviously it's just how we roll.......
