crash...

this weekend was unstressful for the most part seeing that my aunt was in town but at the same time i wanted to pull my hair out of my head. friday i had the morning off and i was running around cleaning the house all by my little self; after i dropped the kids off at school at 8.00 and before picking them up at 2.10. i wanted to scream things kept going wrong. such as the vacuum started to smell as if it were on fire and then as i was going to turn it off a metal piece of the vacuum shot across the room from underneath it. well luckily we have another vacuum i thought after i put together the other one and i try using it well that one was not working either. so all i finished was down stairs. (we have 1 black cat, 1 very furry very shedding white cat, 1 shedding dog, and 1 very furry very shedding white dog. you can only imagine the hair.) well after i finished dusting and 'vacuuming' i decide to bring the dogs in from outside. well they like to make friends with the dog behind our fence and try and go see him. the dogs did not sit as i asked when jumping and running away as i chased them to get the mud off of their feet. it was all over my grandmother's oriental rug. ahhh. luckily i got it off. i had to finish wrapping my aunt's christmas presents (and my cousins for her to take back) there were alot. well i mopped all the floors downstairs. looked at the clock i had a 1/2 hour before i had to pick the kids up from school. ugh. i wasn't even close to being done. so i'm running around emptying all the trash cans in our house. 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the 1/2 bath, 1 in my sisters room, 1 in my other sisters room, 1 in their bathroom, 1 in the game room, 1 in the laundry room, 1 in my brothers room, 1 in my sisters room, 1 in my room, plus all the ones from cleaning my room out, 1 in my bathroom, 1 in my moms room, 1 in her bathroom. so that took a good while. i took a 7 minute shower. got most of my work uniform on went to get the kids from school. took me a little over 20 minutes to get them the lady at the desk was driving me insane. we were rushing to meet my mom so they could go to the airport to pick my aunt up well we get to my work and she wasn't there so she is rushing. she left and i went in to work. ugh. during the middle of my togo shift (meaning i am busy!!!) the host that was supposed to cover my saturday night shift so i could spend time with my aunt tells me she can't. great timing!!!! so all night from then on i was trying to get someone to cover my shift of course no one could. at least i got out of there on time at 10.00pm. i picked up arby's on my way home i ate nothing until now. get home and my aunt was in the shower so i ate my food and got changed and then we spent the next 3 hours up talking and exchanging christmas gifts. it was nice but i was exhausted at the end and passed out. saturday we went to le peep for breakfast it was nice but there was arguments at the house. ugh. just want it to stop. afterwards we went to katy mills mall for my sister to exchange a coat she got the didn't fit her. then we went shopping for a little bit. then we went home i rushed to get dressed and go to work. barely seeing my aunt again. the night was horrible. i only had one good host. so of course she took my names. well we had so many large reservations and we had large walk-ins like crazy and then we had a walk in 25 that wanted there table in 20 minutes. there was no way we quoted 1 1/2 hour and i got them sat in 59 minutes. i ended up getting my own table checks i was seating quests because on top of only having 1 good host i only had 2 others. ahhh. well at 9.37 we are still on a wait my family comes in got them sat in 10 minutes. got off the wait at 9.59 a host switched with me for her to get out at 10.30 and i to get out at 10.00 i rapidly did my clean ups switched my shirt and sat down at 10.04. thank God. we ate went home and went to bed. sunday i went to Kaleo. afterwards lauren and i went to her house got her stuff ready and she took a quick shower and we left. on the way to my house we picked up panera bread!! i love there sandwich there that has the chipotle mayonnaise (sarah!!) when we got home we ate then i took a quick shower and lauren painted the just married sign for markandsarah since michael is well yeah he's michael. then i dried and straightened my hair. and then we did our make up. of course lauren helped me because the person i like was going to be at markandsarah's wedding. then we took a while to get in our dresses because i do not know how to be a girl. well then my lovely best friend decides to teach more about being a girl and has me tie her corset up. haha. that was interesting and then she had to help me with my dress where i felt i was fat and having other problems. which was even worse because it was my best friends wedding and i wanted to look good for her. we rushed over there. and it was beautiful. sarah was stunning. it was more amazing that i dreamed of. she's so beautiful. and mark just waiting was killing him. hehe. he was so excited. it was beautiful. richard was a penguin and it made me laugh very hard. mr. stidhum and i had a moment and that was nice for both of us. the words that we shared will stay between us always and i'm not quite sure if they will ever be told but i know it comforted both of us and if sarah knew i know she would smile and maybe have a few tears just like the ones mr.stidhum and i shared. i love him. sunday was great. monday was nice as well we just enjoyed sitting around the house with each other and then we stopped by my sisters work so my aunt could see where she works and to say goodbye. then we went to the foodcourt and memorial city mall since it was right there to eat. i had chic-fil-a. yay. then we started our long journey to the airport. mom dropped mimi and i off at the door to get her checked in while they parked. everything went well except that she would be having a 1/2 hour delay from charlotte to my buffalo, new york. which was fine. then we met up with everyone stayed with her for a while and then said our pleasant goodbyes. i can't wait until febuary when she is back (the week we go back...) then we headed home. got a couple things and headed towards the grayshon's. picked up a cookie cake for the birthday boys. and picked out very funny cards. billandshannon came so that was nice. afterwards we watched a few episodes of that show 24 the billandshannon and susie and matthew are hooked on. it was good. but we watched from the middle of the season so we understood for the most part but i think it would have been better if we saw from the beginning. today i woke up to a call from my aunt and 7.30 (she forgot they are ahead of us) to let me know that she got in ok. i ate breakfast. went to my room and laid on my bed until i fell asleep and here i am. i can't wait until tonight for community groups. there are plenty of things i look forward to there...
